One question on the wheels and tires. Could you fit anything bigger? especially in the front? I like to run same size front and rear on the track and was wondering if I could fit 255 all around?
Very nice ride by the way I love hartge wheels :w00t: |

Thanks Zak :w00t: The AP's are probably overkill but I had ECS Porsche/Brembo brakes on my Golf, and once you've had that you never want to compromise again:redface: The CF mirrors are caps, so the mirrors still fold. All the CF parts are OEM BMW accessories, so they fit straight on a 1-er. The real stealth mod is the Quaife ATB differential. BMW are keeping limited slip differentials for their M-cars to give them an edge. Retro fit a diff and you sort out a big deficiency; http://www.birdsauto.com/1-PDFs/E9233928336.pdf |

i was just getting sad because this is what we likely have to contend with ala 135i. I was hoping to get some 255's under there.:frown:

I don't see why you would want 255's on the front, it will kill the steering feel. Rides great on my setup and I'm sure would cope with tuned 135i power. In fact the garage that did it have a 380bhp 335i demo car on similar setup (but 20" wheels, for press attention really rather than handling)
Pirelli 245/30 ZR20 front, 285/25 ZR 20 rear http://www.birdsauto.com/1-PDFs/E9209920100.pdf Will be of interest to anyone looking to tune a 135i |

hi everybody, im from Australia and ill be driving a bmw 130i as of tomorrow . I cant wait to drive it out of the dealership, there has been much anticipation counting by the minute for the past week. ive hear many good things about it and reading through forums and sites after sites of related info on the 130i makes me wanna own it even more. the modification youve done to yours rephlex, is pretty impressive i want to know how much the carbon fiber mods are coz im interested in getting them myself. the car is awesome i love the rims aswell. nice colour, i reckon black or silver is the best colours in buying the 130i.

Just for the record I now have the immense 356mm AP Racing 6-pot brakes fitted which are obscenely good. I would post pics but the car is covered in winter crud. Look very discreet but you see them being clocked by petrolheads.
I had the B&M shifter fitted but didn't like it so had it removed again. Up for sale if anyone is interested. |
