WTB ST XTA, ARC8, DP, FMIC, M1/M3 control arms

ialivciuc@gmail.com · 10-09-2021, 12:25 PM

Looking to buy some tasty mods/upgrades for my 2012 135i.

Suspension:
Preferable option 1 is ST XTA (might consider something similar)
M1/M3 front control arms kit

Wheels/Tires:
Apex Arc8 (I`d like a squared setup)
255(245)/35 R18 track-oriented tires

Performance parts:
Downpipe
FMIC
Chargepipe

Cheers,
Max

Heres the setup I went with - am totally happy.

Bilstein B12 kit
Dinan camber plates
Front control arms (TRW are great and can be had for cheap).
M3 subframe bushings (a must for this platform).

Apex arc8 in a staggered setup - love the look of the arc8s - just be wary of the max front fitment - i had to use the camber plate to avoid rubbing with 245 fronts.

VRSF chargepipe - had to change cause my stock one cracked under boost
Wagner Stage 1 intercooler - slid right in and was an easy install.

Did not bother tuning the car so didn't bother doing a downpipe. Don't think it is necessary just yet - was enjoying the suspension mods.

Have fun!
