I've been on here for year's but never done a build thread or posted many pics up of my car ! This weekend it just clicked over 45k so I thought I would share a few snaps.

Love it! And what a quality mod list - looks great on the OZ Ultraleggeras too.

How do you find the upgraded rear bar with the M3 front? I have the M3 front only currently.

Thicker rear bar makes a massive difference, worth every penny!

Sub frame inserts work great no need for full m3 bushes imo

Is there a Beechdean connection? A mate of mine does strategy for them in the ELMS Endurance races.
No connection mate was just an open track day on the GP circuit

I'm keeping the car now, there's nothing I want to replace it with , I did fancy a v8 m3 but I can't justify the extra out lay.
My be I could shoe horn a s65 lump in the 130 ?

Little winter blast out this morning ,had to go for blood test ( got a knee op in jan )
And thought I would take the 130i
It was -2 when I set off , the car performed great loads of fun in this low grip weather ,im still running Cup2's and Xp8 pads both take a little bit of time to get up to temp in these conditions both performed great once up to temp ,had some lovely sideways action! In the new year I'm going to start filming my outings should make for some entertaining viewing.


Then home for a clean up thought I best give the x3 some love as well .

Looking good mate, had mine out today for a blast through the lakes to collect some computer parts from kendal, some big icy patches! just kept things steady and smooth and the Michelin winters had no trouble :)

How do you keep it so shiny? I've never seen a car gleam like that in Ring pics - mines always filthy by the time I get down there. Had an e91 335i in that colour previously and loved it.

Thought I would treat the old girl to some new fluids and side repeaters , rolled over 48k now.



Need to order some new oz centre caps
I've lost 2 of them, been searching the web but can't seem to find anything.




Not much else to report cars been completely faultless in my ownership so far,
I've been mega busy at work so not had time for car's lately.
