Holy moly!
Does it have an adjustable suspension that lowers it on a dial?
Otherwise, I don't see how you can roll it outside of a smooth showroom floor.
What other performance mods do you have?

It's on Air Suspension. He just presses a few buttons and he can raise or lower the car however he wants. Pretty cool stuff!

Like Chris said, it's on air suspension. Easy toggle of a switch for height front and rear. Performance wise it's just MHD stage 2 with DCI, charge pipe, downpipes and XHD stage 3 on the trans.

I'm actually researching an engine swap I've been wanting to do. That would mean the N54 would be going into 128i I'm picking up this winter

Updated the navigation system with the 2020 maps. I used the help and downloads/links in the E90 Nav subforum.

It's a bit tedious but works. I really don't think the BMW nav system is that good. On routes I know it sort of took me around the block to get next door. But for free it's worth updating.

- custom MHD tune from Wedge
- coded out some brake things, e-diff, front corner lamps, oversteer coefficients, etc.
- gloss black wrapped wheel center caps and removed M logos (tried to find separate gloss black caps, but none fit.)
- glasses holder handle swap (I installed)
- Megan Racing strut tower bar (I installed)
- M3 rear guide rods (indy)

I believe the only thing left on the list is the muffler mod and some new summer wheels/tires next summer, and then it's just maintenance from here on out...famous last words! If you can think of something I should add, let me know.

p.s. I'm at 47K miles. Oh yeah, I'm finally doing the CDV delete next week, too.

Cashmere Silver Metallic:

Well, I thought I was done...but I installed blacklines.

Looks proper with that great color!

Thanks! I just realized that photo was a little blurry, so I added another pic in better light.

[low135]

Started taking the vinyl off today. Can't wait to see it with the new color

[..Rush..]

That looks great!
May I kindly ask what the ballpark estimate is of parts and labor?
I want to do the same.

$550 for labor to open, blackout the housing and reseal. Then you pay for the other parts and he installs while they're opened. I'm doing RGB chasing 3/4 DTM halos and new LED eyebrows. Total is like $840 or so + shipping both ways to Atlanta. So I'll probably be $900ish all in

I received this exciting picture. Very excited to be doing some cosmetic (but still functional) mods to my car. Very excited for a true oil cooler, a possible ram-air intake (I know, I know), not-janky-looking brake ducts, and a much better look. Everything has to have a function...

I might also do N5tuner front fenders so I can run wider tires up front. That depends on what the estimate is for repairing the dent on my driver's side fender from a flying quick-shade at a track day back in May.

You got it

Did it come in a box or crate? Good thing it was not damaged! Saw your post on where you got it, at least I know it still exists.

It's existence is quickly ending. It's NLA through BMW, I think ECS sold me one of the last they have. It was in a cardboard box. It's flexible plastic, it's really hard to damage.

Did you get the little parts that came w it, grills and air ducts as well?

Had to get them separately. They're even harder to find.

[6ixSpd]

Replaced the water pump and thermostat. I forgot how much I hated this job. It's such a royal pain doing it on jackstands... So little room to manoeuvre and that goddamn top bolt took almost half of the total job time. Argh. At least she's back on the road in 24 hours. Snapped a pic with the M as it was my parts hauler for the day lol.

[spidertri]

Replaced the small DISA, it was stuck in the slightly open position and rattling loudly. No SES light though, just one instance of a shadow code.

Installed an aluminum coolant flange on the hose that comes from the thermostat to the head, old one had not failed yet but was very brittle.

Replaced the header to midpipe gaskets and hardware.

I think they also have those in stock, but hey if you got them cheaper elsewhere...

I couldn't find them on ECS or FCP. Ebay yielded a result from Slovakia for a good price.

I should clarify: the 135i ducts weren't available. I'm going to do an air-oil cooler when I do the bumper, so I wanted the OE ducting. That specific duct is NLA for some reason, the others aren't.
