Where did you find the M Performance exhaust? I couldn't find it in stock anywhere. How much did it cost? and was it an easy install?

Thanks

Thanks!

I'll PM you with details.

Tint removed and new PPF on hood and headlights.
Closer to showroom fresh.

Fishee · 09-23-2022, 01:52 PM

Grandad and the grandkid.

The 1er looks so much better IMO. Especially a clean example like this one. Gorgeous little car

Looks fantastic!

Installed stainless brake lines, new bleed nipples, e9X clutch delay/lock valve, new DOT4 LV fluid and flush.

The CDV is a must, what an incredible difference... especially combined with the clutch bump stop.

asbrr · 10-04-2022, 04:03 PM

Awesome! Yes the CDV change is dramatic..also love how you included a very upset looking mechanic's assistant in your pics

Hahah, it's his usual look when wrenching.

Fishee · 10-07-2022, 11:21 PM

Replaced transmission fluid with Redline D4.
Huge improvement over the "lifetime" factory fill.

Fishee · 10-24-2022, 11:24 AM

Swapped out the factory plastic coolant flange for the billet version from rein.
Peace of mind.

Factory piece wasn't too bad, but it was definitely weakened.

The replacement piece is sitting in my trunk, just haven't got around to installing it yet.

Weather is looking good in the city this coming weekend, giddyup!

I'll be changing out my diff fluid...

Fishee · 10-31-2022, 11:16 AM

Oil change, differential fluid change, stupid retention clip popped off the top helper spring pin on the clutch pedal (pain to reinstall), replaced a couple of mashed jack points, washed and waxed...

fast1eddy · 10-31-2022, 12:09 PM

We seem to be on a similar path

Fishee · 03-03-2023, 05:44 PM

Parts day.

Fishee · 06-01-2023, 09:14 AM

New front pads - EBC Red Stuff.
Also good opportunity to give the calipers a good scrubbing.

WrathOTM · 06-02-2023, 12:48 PM

SOOOooooo Big!
But no really I didn't know the pads were that big on the 6-pots

Hahah, I thought the same when they arrived.

asbrr · 06-05-2023, 08:47 PM

Nice!

Curious to hear your feedback on these, how's the initial bite when cold and around town, and highway/high speed performance?

Last but not least, any improvement in dust levels !?

For my street-only use, they've been excellent.
Initial bite when cold and around town, significantly improved confidence over OEM. Firmer pedal feel, very predictable and progressive initial bite (not grabby), and much stronger feeling response.

High speed, same result as around town - just a better pad in every category (well, while they're new anyhow, time will tell).

Low noise, really low dust, more confidence and better feel.
I can now see why they're popular.

Honestly, the amount of dust is about 1/10th of oem.

Awesome, exactly what I want to hear....keep us posted on performance as you use them. I'll probably go this route once my current set on the F30 is due for a change. I'm never tracking the car, and I'm so over fucking brake dust lol
