Official 1-series Coupe Performance Parts (tii style) Catalog HERE!

I'm scared to see the cost on those. Aftermarket will explode when it hits the US. By that time vendors will be competing for your business and it would be silly to spend the money BMW would want. Unless you just want to say its BMW parts for bragging rights. I personally, could not care less.

Anybody notice if a Short Shifter is available ?? Sat in the car at the Detroit show and it definately could benefit from one.

[JohnL135I]

335's have a short shifter available now, I'm assuming it should also work with the 135i. I would also guess it it does not work, BMW will have one available soon after release.

That's what I was looking for but saw no mention of it (limited German)...

[slymen]

good stuff matt, though I agree about the overpricing from BMW on performance original parts, you´re better off getting aftermarket parts with even better visual and performance orientation. Unless of course having unlimited resources, then M/tii your 1er.
looking forward to more cool stuff...

[NovaBimmer]

[Ferdinand]

Octothorp, that's true, but your BMW Center will also have to have the ETK (electronic parts catalog) from that month, and they usually don't get them immediately (or start using them immediately).

So, if you went in to your BMW Center in March, they still would likely not recognize the part numbers you give them.

I thought they were Recaro Sportsters? Not to knitpick, but they're only $1400 /per :wink:

[bluminiboy]

if the seats are not available for the US because of airbags, and you switch to those seats anyway; it may trip the airbag light.

i'm only saying this, because the same happened for the MINIs with their John Cooper Works seats, which were available in Europe but not in the US because of the lack of airbag. If you do switch to those seats or any other seats, the airbag light goes on because of the lack of the airbag/sensor in the seats.
