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

Lookin good!! I think the lip spoiler does a lot for these cars as far as overall styling lines go.

They seem very "eh" without one, "ok" with the stock one, but so much more aggressive with the full lip

I decided to wrap the trim around the A/C and the headunit. Still trying to decide how I feel about it.

Kinda like it, although I'd suggest doing the lower section black as well.
But then I'm a touch bias....

Looks great. Reminds me of the current gen models.

Thanks!! That was the goal. I wanted to modernize the interior a bit.

tjswarbrick · 01-13-2017, 11:33 PM

Looking good, guys.

I got to drive mine with the top down for an hour!

bmw1racer · 01-14-2017, 01:13 AM

After a week's worth of rain, a much-needed ONR wash.

crabbit · 01-15-2017, 06:44 PM

just a quick wash...

Rolled over 90K mi! Drove from Orlando to West Palm and back for the weekend. Great car - my ass didn't hurt at all

That's awesome to hear! I can't wait until spring and take my car on a road trip again and get some more miles on it.

chadillac2000 · 01-16-2017, 09:42 AM

Both my 135i (70,000 miles) and 535i (185,000 miles) were due for oil changes. Also replaced the original transmission fluid with Redline on my 1er.

14 bottles when everything was said and done...

KnudsonM3 · 01-16-2017, 12:50 PM

I am looking at a set of M3 seats and was wondering if the 128i control module was the same part number as the M3.

Both the M3 and 128i seats are power/heated. I am wondering this because the M3 seats only come with one module. I can use the modules from the seats in my 1 now but want to be sure all the controls will work.

M3 module part number is 61359221861903, is the 128i the same?

Posting in a couple places hoping more eyes will see it.

TIA guys

Yeineken · 01-16-2017, 03:25 PM

1M front end arrived at the dealer today, hope it all fits in the hatchback when I go to pick it up in the morning. Should be interesting

Which is also my point about getting a lower offset in the rear closer to Profile 2 so its not as drastic of a change.

I guess I'm not getting it. Both Apex 18x8.5 et45 & 18x9.5 et58 are face profile 1. Are you ordering a different rear wheel?

Mach1er · 01-17-2017, 11:21 AM

Got her back from the Stealership today, at 36k had a misfire on cylinder 1 and they diagnosed a bad coilpack. All 6 replaced under warranty with Delphi coils P/N 12138616153. Warranty claim is for $600. Hopefully I'm good to go for more than another 36k...

If he's doing a 1 M front conversion, he will need 1 M-specific front wheels, which have a different face profile.

I got my car back from the dealership at 7pm last night. I had them install PPK and replace one of my runflats. It has been raining non stop since 6pm yesterday so I have yet to be able to really listen for improved exhaust notes/crackles/burbles/pops but the responsiveness of the car and low end between 1,000-2,500 RPM is vastly improved, which was the thing that bothered me most about the car!

I got the PPK done, out the door for $680, which is not too bad at all for improved driving dynamics... the extra horsepower and torque is just a bonus.

Got PPK1 for $645.42 (tax included) at my dealer in 2011. I also have the Performance exhaust which enhances the sound of PPK nicely. Love the throttle response, wonderful burbling effects, plus the added hp and torque that PPK provides. I now have the Dinan stage 2 tune but still have all my pops and crackles from PPK. Definitely love PPK and would get it again.

Finally getting to unbox some stuff after picking them up yesterday.
