Ordered my new LSD: 3.73 ratio 3-clutch unit with 35/60 ramps from DiffsOnline. I can hardly wait to install it later this month...
Between this diff and my Ohlins, the aftermarket parts on my car are worth more than my car by itself... #GermanDepreciation

Does anyone know of anyone parting out a 135i ?
I'm looking for the underfloor panels and brackets. I've highlighted them in the attached image. Thanks

You’re gonna love that car even more brother! Who cares if the parts are worth more than the car, right? Don’t have an LSD yet but that seems to be the consensus. Wish I can fork that much now. To think that Diffsonline is local to me...

It doesn't take much to overtake the car's worth with mods anymore, considering it's a 200k-mile base model with an accident or two on its CarFax, etc. All I care about is how big the smile is on my face at the end of the drive... Reducing the weight of your wallet reduces the weight in your car #becauseracecar Looking nice on the outside is about it; little rust generally means little heat (heat promotes oxidation) which means it wasn't abused and doesn't have a heap of miles on it. Just look out for ones that look way too clean...

Weird thing just happened to me: my car didn't start on the first try, and it did it twice. It would click, then lose all power momentarily, then start up perfectly on the second try.

It's like when my wife complains about visibility when reversing. ITS A CONVERTIBLE. IT HAS GREAT VISIBILITY. The problem is you've accidentally LEFT THE ROOF ON while driving. Anyway, Clearly, I love sunroofs, but I do agree with the sentiment of removing of 20kg of weight above your head. It's just a shame they don't make those CF replacements with a centre section that clips in & out, so you can still have the open-top when it's not raining. |

This happens to me as well. Probably wrong but... My theory is the battery drains, then when the car recognizes that it’s not receiving enough power, the backup activates to start the car.
