What did you do to/for your 1er today?

EDIT: if those are really OE wheels with E90 offset fitting like that (which I can't fathom how), I stand correct, they fit lol

Interested to know the specs though and if they're indeed OE... E90 rims should poke out a lot, making it undriveable

You can see a clearly different offset in the rear. I think it's actually pretty attractive. Gives the back end some added presence.

It seems the finite characteristics between the different sizes might explain why the larger ones experiencing cracks in a few instances.

Good point about the 19" 313s and cracks.

Look at the concavity of the double-spokes on the rear wheels. You can see they're the different version intended for the E9X.

gotcha43 does say they're 19" E90 313s:

Don't know his set-up but here they are:

To be completely pedantic, BMW never produced an E82 130i.

I wish I could answer the weight question between the Style 313M wheels (part numbers 36116856666 and 36116856667), and the Style 313 BMW Performance version (36116787645 and 36116787646). BMW wheel websites don't seem to differentiate between the M version and the Performance version of the 18" 313 wheels.

That being said, I did query the part numbers on BMWFans.info. The information isn't completely accurate IMO, but it seems as though the weights are nearly identical, with only a negligible difference between them. Interestingly enough, the 313 M version entered production in January of 2012 (likely for 135is production), while the 313 Performance version entered production earlier in January of 2009, likely as part of the BMW Performance Parts catalog.

Thank you... I stand corrected.

Then his modded 125i.

LOL @ the face value comment--you're getting to know me well!

Normally I'd question it, considering how poorly E9X wheels fit the E82, but the rears really do look like the different offset E9X version to me. Maybe he's running the 1 Series versions in the front only? Not only, but the rears almost look like they could be 19" diameter in my eyes...again, really tough to form any sort of judgement based on the photos.

Thanks for the part numbers to the 313Ms. ECS shows that they are still available (front and rear), for anyone that is interested. Probably til supplies last.

Crazy prices, though. The BMW Performance 313 front wheel (P/N 36-11-6-787-645) is listed on ECS's website for $231.98, and the 313M front wheel (P/N 36-11-6-856-666) is listed for $426.27. That ///M costs a lot. lol

My pleasure. The least I can do is share a bit of the insane research I embark on

And I noticed the price difference on ECS myself, quite a spread between the M and Performance version for the fronts! If I had to chose, it'd be a tough call. I'm guessing I'd go with the M version because I've always liked the little stick-on M logo things. Not that my preferences really matters though, as more and more of the cool parts from BMW Performance are going NLA, as we've discussed elsewhere

Yes, it's truly a bummer regarding the discontinued BMW Performance parts for the 1 series. I feel like stocking up while supplies last. That can get expensive though and I need room to store the parts.

I guess I need to hurry up and buy an M4 so I can wait a few years and then buy those M Performance parts before they vanish...but then again, I'm really not crazy about the extra 10" of length the M4 will take up in my garage

[Oakland1]

Pulled into the parking lot at work today, parked next to this M4.

Crazy to step back and think sometimes how BMW has evolved/continues to evolve. I think back to my 1991 318is, 2002 M3, 2006 Z4, then look at my 2008 1, then there's this 2018 beast...what the hell will we have in 2028?

Things used to be so simple. Haha.

In 2028 I know one thing, I'll still have my 2008 1, just hopefully 1-2 others parked next to it.

Never getting rid of this vehicle (like they all say...)

[Esteban]

I think the M4 in the above post is in tock172's color. lol

[xQx]

I've been quiet on the forums since one of my wastegates failed... saving up for the next mod (and repair).

Since I'm incapable of going a month without spending something on my car, today I ordered it some vanity plates.

I'm sure they're not to everybody's taste; but I bet you can guess what's on the horizon for my little 1er...

lol what is up with you and these loud colors? Sorry to disappoint but I don't think I could do Sahkir or Austin Yellow for the exterior. In all seriousness, I'm shooting for Silverstone Metallic over cloth. I previously wanted Mineral Grey, but it's too dark and I know I won't be satisfied trying to keep it clean. If were I going the M2 route, I'd probably go for Long Beach Blue. Or Hockenheim Silver on an M2 Competition

Nifty that this Borla ProXS is, at least so far, actually a tad quieter than the OE muffler with golf tee mod. The Borla is /much/ deeper & cleaner sounding though, and since it's a straight through design, all the glorious pops, burbles and over run noises are much more present than with the stock muffler, even with the flap always open. I really really like it so far!

And, best of all- there is no drone. Like, at all. None. Nada.

So far I'm in for $130 for (new/unused) parts, including shipping, from the classifieds here, and another $130 for install. Still way way way less than even your average used Berk Street.

I'm particularly fond of the fact that I can progressively make it louder if I want- always easier to get louder by removing the resonator, then secondary cats and so on, than it is to try and tame an overly loud exhaust...


Sound clips to come

[duder13]

I have long arms and often drive with the armrest in the "up" position, so today I went ahead and did the armrest delete (requires two pieces to be purchased.) I really like it. It reminds me of older sports cars' cleaner center consoles, and my hands are always at 3 and 9, anyways, so I really don't need it. Plus, no rattles.

I've only read a handful of other replies in this thread.

But I'm fairly certain my next nice car, to replace my 135i, will be an M4. I was dead set on a 997 Carrera S forever, but the price of a CPO M4 continues to drop, and there's no question about which one of the two is newer, faster and more available. I couldn't stand the M4 when it first debuted, but I've grown to prefer it to the F80 M3, and the S55 is an incredibly potent engine. I'd like Silverstone over cloth, but will also take black leather or Sahkir Orange.

Used M2s are also depreciating nicely, but I can't imagine shelling out again for another car that uses essentially the same drivetrain of my 135i (N55+DCT).

...ah, you meant for an interior color.

I knew you had mentioned Sahkir Orange, guess I mixed up if it was for the interior or exterior.

Whoops!

I hate that arm rest. It's not in the right position to rest my arm comfortably. Worthless to me...

Wouldn't mind doing the armrest delete.

Part numbers?

Ah yes, I meant Sahkir for the interior. I always liked Coral Red on the 1 Series, and wouldn't mind something similar on an M4. Plus that smooth Nappa leather in the M cars is just great. Alpine White on Sahkir would be another M4 combo I'd consider.

I feel the same way about the arm rest. It's never in the right position for me, so I always keep it in the up position. I use it for storage, but could easily move those few items elsewhere, and they probably wouldn't rattle around as much either.

I purchased the outer plastic cover for the arm rest delete, but neglected to purchase the inner portion that it mounts onto.

Part numbers:
Outer piece (the one you see) - 51169110474
Inner mounting plate - 51167135455

Just an FIY, when I purchased 51169110474 a few years ago, it was roughly $16. Now, every price I see for it is over $80. The RealOEM list price is still under $10. Insane!
