Any details please on the amber delete would be most welcome. Bimmian want 97 pounds each I think!!!!!!!!!!

And cheapest I can find is $150 a pair from the US I think. Or these from eBay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270878444536?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageNa me=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Just like how the amber delete looks even though mine doesn't have the amber.

Not sure about the eyebrow thing you can also get though lol

Installed the Burger Motor Sports (BMS) Oil Catch Can for my N55 BMW 135is.

[Rob HT]

Installed H&R Sport Springs and racing pedals.

[Overpar56]

Install Cree LED angel eyes from Burger today. Easy enough tondo if you have a bit of patience on the passenger side. I noticed my lenses need a polish as well. A little marked up.

[Rob Daman]

installed whiteline rear subframe inserts.

i cheated and cut the top front inserts so I didn't have to figure how on earth to clear that little top mount bulge where the bolt goes into.

also added some led interior lights to light up the vert.

[135Pats]

Got protuned, realized the open dif is just no longer up to the task of controlling this torque. So about to order a limited slip now.....Any reviews on the Mfactory units? I may just get a Quaife IDK.

Washed the outside and detailed the inside prior to having the curbed front bumper replaced on Tuesday. Yes, this is what nearly $1300 in damage looks like. Also washed the recently removed winter wheels/tires for storage... I hope it's a long time before I need to use them again! I love my PSSs!!!

I'm considering getting some wheel spacers to push the wheels more flush with the fenders... perhaps 10mm spacers for the front and 15mm for the rear.

[bmw1racer]

Another biweekly wash late afternoon yesterday... Now for a coat of wax today.

[Motohip]

At the paint shop now, will be done Friday in time for Bimmerfest next week!

[New21er]

Rickmsport, you will like the spacers BUT, 15 in front and 10 in the rear.

Thanks for the advice! Any thoughts on why thicker (15mm) in the front and thinner (10mm) in the rear? Suppliers' web sites seem to indicate the other way around, yet I see threads where people install the 15s in the front as you suggest.

I suppose when I look at my car, the fronts are inset deeper into the fenders than the rears... so are we talking aesthetics or is there a technical reason?

By the way... it's a small world, I'm originally from Snohomish County...

[TJ710]

I painted my rusty looking rear brake rotor hubs. Used aluminum colored rustoleum after sanding it down. Looks so much better now! Sorry no pic though.

[heeblet]

Took off the dealer plate and paper, updated the idrive software, spent hours reading about subframe bushings and runflat tires

[7smurfs]

Installed LCI blacklines - favourite cosmetic mod so far!

Received my M stripe stickers for my grille.... tossing up on whether I should put them on or not as I had severe buyers remorse for the $15 stickers

Purchased Burger Motor Sports (BMS) Clutch Stopper!

I just bought a pair of LCI blacklines about hour ago!

[darkrom]

Picking up some PSS's for my OEM wheels. Then probably selling the stock runflats while they are fresh.

[Sylon]

Spent 3 hours under the car in a big building without AC in 84F heat fighting with my car to install a set of Berk midpipes. Ran into several issues along the way, the biggest being the bracket that holds the stock pipes to the center of the car, likely to reduce vibrations. I got the exhaust on, minus the bracket. Which sucks because the vibrations are pretty bad. Gotta figure out how to get that bolt loose. It has a weird bolt head on it that even the whole auto shop didn't have a tool to use on it.

But either way, now the 1er has the full Berk exhaust installed. She sounds mean.

[New21er]

No technical reason, it just looks better with 15,s in front.

it's an E socket. like a reversed Torx.

if you're going to do subframe bushings, you'll need that too.

I bought this set for both jobs.

Thanks! I know what to look for now. Damn Europeans and their goofy ass bolts, lol.
