I definitely think so as well. I might just plastidip my stock ones and use those after winter. I wanna keep a stock downpipes for now but do n55 mids make a huge difference. I was thinking that with a berk race axelback?? I want do want it to be loud.

Got the rear diffuser on. Fitment isn't great, there is a tab missing on one side so the right corner sits out a bit. Looks good. Here are some pictures, I parked on my neighbors hill so I could see the carbon fiber in the sun (also makes the rear end look lowered which I can't wait for).

Also put a euro plate on that i got from a family friend that did a european delivery

Hell yes! The springs will make a big difference because the 08-10 135i's had progressive springs that caused the car to lean too much when driven hard. Besides, the 135i is a bit tall so lowering it helps with looks as well as handling.

Springs(Cobb) are finally on the car!! I haven't been able to drive around much since the weather has been bad but feels solid and is pretty stiff. Here are some pictures one of before and one of after in the same spot. I definitely thought it would drop the car more but I do like the feel!

Before:


After:


Don't mind the scratches on the bumper, their from the previous owner.


Also got BMW M logos for the wheels to top them off.


Does anyone know if the springs will settle at all??? Will take better pictures in the next couple weeks.

Alright, I'm hoping so! The rear still seems little tall when its parked on a level surface. After an access port and exhaust i might look at getting coilovers.

Here are some photos from this weekend. The weather is horrible so haven't been able to wash and take pictures of the car but got out with my buddies M3 to do some exploring.

Debating what to do next:
Access port stage 1
Berk race axleback exhaust
Spacers

Don't want to void warranty just yet so do not want to do downpipes.

Berk race exhaust got here on Monday!


Got it from Elliott at Mod Bargains

Install was a piece of cake, reused my spring loads bolts. Fitment is great and it is very loud!!! Love the look as well. Thought about getting high temp paint and make it black so isn't not as flash but still debating.





I made a video of a cold start as well and post that later.

Nice, how were the exhaust hangers to deal with? did the oem just slip right off with some elbow grease?

Yea they weren't too bad! I had my dad pulling one way and had me pulling the other so it wasn't too hard. Getting them on was more difficult in my opinion. Nice to have two hands if possible but you should be fine!!

Update!

So i just bought some ST coilovers. Some guy on a social media site posted them and gave me an incredible deal so i had to pick them up! only had 100 miles on them just wanted to go with something different. I was thinking about waiting to do the install so i can get camber plates and then don't have to worry about doing twice the work. Here is a picture of them. I was wondering what peoples opinions are on camber plates? I was going to go with vorshlag since I haven't heard anything bad. I also ordered downpipes from a fella on here. Not sure as to what the brand is but if anyone has any ideas? Ill get better pictures once everything has arrived!
