Thanks mate, I'm happy with it.

Rear spoiler lip is Maxton designs, as is the front lip.

I have the BMW M performance side blades fitted, but you can't really see them in the photo.

It also has the "Motech Stance" - Eibach springs, front 12mm and rear 15mm spacers.
Awesome, i think ill have to see the side blades in the flesh on a car before committing to them, though maxton parts seem quite reasonably priced.

Any issues with the splitter, eibachs and speedbumps?

No issues at all, couldn't be happier!

Luckily the bulk of it was fitted before I collected the car (steering wheel with carbon insert, handbrake, gear lever and surround, and alcantera arm rest) I just bought the kit that contains the idrive console trim, dash trim and carbon door handles which my dealer got for me at a discount and I fitted myself.

Cost rrp is as follows but Cotswold do discount I'm sure

Steering wheel with carbon insert £690
Gear lever cover £179
Gear lever surround £97.50
Handbrake lever and cover £133
Centre armrest alcntara and carbon £199
M performance interior (I drive strip, centre dash, 4x door handles) £624

Hope this helps

I didn't fit this steering wheel but did do the one on my e60 550i with one royal steering wheels did for me and it's not a hard job tbh just make sure you disconnect the battery and wait a while before the airbag gets removed. Have seen a f20 how to on led steering wheel which would be a great help on here I think.

I have had my M140i almost three weeks now but didn't have a chance to post a picture. Here's one from day 1.. and no, I didn't get stuck in the snow. :D



Btw, could someone point me to section where I can change my signature? I have gone through User Control Panel but just can't seem to find it.

It is under CP go to prifile tab and on the left there is a "edit sig" menu.

Is yours an xdrive? Or is the RWD safe in Finland? :)
It's actually RWD. If you look at the used market here, pretty much every M135i/M140i is XDrive so I think I'm in minority :). My previous cars have all been FWD so I wanted something that oversteers. Also, I like the idea that I have something to look forward to in the summer. So far no regrets. Studded Contis FTW. :D

About signature, I can't see the edit menu... I think I will contact admin:

Strange, thats where it should be. Not sure if there are any restrictions. Maybe you need 20+ posts or something.
