You're the guy! Someone snapped a pic of you with the teardrop and no one knew who it was. https://www.1addicts.com/forums/show...postcount=5894 Copying you is my goal this winter. So thanks for sharing a how-to. |

I used to tow my SV650S to the track with my Mk6 GTI. One day, a guy showed up towing a Ducati with his 911. Talk about life goals. It had some major work done to the rear subframe to accept a hitch.
Anyway I would absolutely tow something small with my 1er if I still had something to tow. I bet it would do just fine. |

Any idea what size ball that euro towbar is?
I can't find any data on that? Do they make different sizes? Nearest I can find, button mashing, is 50mm. Which converts to just under 2". Last edited by iminhell1; 01-24-2019 at 02:28 AM.. |

https://www.etrailer.com/hitch-2013_BMW_1+Series.htm Last time I installed one of these, you do have to remove the tail lights in order to take the bumper off. There is also a slight modification to the underside plastics, but nothing serious. I did find that I had to grind just a bit of the mount on the exhaust. As the exhaust gets hot, it grows lengthwise and will start to rub against the hitch. I can say it makes a hell of a noise, scared the crap out of me until I figured out what the problem was... |

So I just had the M3 front control arms and sway bar installed. The arms added -.5 degrees camber up front on each side. To put it lightly, I'm blown away by the difference the arms/sway have made. Even with my current 16" winter wheels/205 size tires, the difference is substantial. The handling is improved in every way, straight line, turning, and going over bumps even feels better. It's so solid up front now and I also feel like I'm going back down the suspension tuning worm hole bc of this unfortunately....

Got some in progress pics of my microforged carbon fiber roundels. I spoke with Steve from NRW and I had originally just wanted nice gloss black embossed emblems. He came up with this. They'll look black in most lighting but if you get up close with direct lighting you can see the forged carbon fiber. Just a small detail that I think adds a nice touch. Keep in mine this is still in progress and needs clear coat/polishing

Thanks, I agree. I won't see it for a couple of months, since these are the summer wheels/tires.
