Evening all been on here a few years now and recently swapped in my E82 123d for a 62 plate M135i so after a month of ownership. Thought I would start a build update thread for myself/your viewing pleasure.

Spec :
Cruise control with brake function.
BMW Professional navigation system.
BMW Advanced loudspeaker system.
Sun protection glass.
Heated front seats.
Sport automatic transmission.
Front and rear park distance control (PDC).
Full black panel display.
Automatic dimming exterior folding mirrors.
Windscreen with green shade band.
Enhanced Bluetooth functionality including BMW Assist.

Bit about my old car. Quite a few mods done on the 123d from visual mods like carbon fibre pretty much anywhere it would fit on the body work. To the fun stuff, performance side milltek cat back and remap from BW chiptune induction kits. So after 3 years of ownership was time for an upgrade.

Enough talk here she is in all her glory.


Side foils now on



Ritcher Decat Cold start :twisted: >>> " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Couldn't resist getting first mod done within a month of ownership. Appreciate it may not be to everyone's taste I think it finishes off the front nicely.

Great colour choice ;-) I'm happy to see you've put the black grills on the EB. Quite a few on here don't like the mix! I think it looks brilliant!

Great looking car - enjoy!

Update :D

Decat fitted on stock exhaust sounds amazing millions times better the fart/bang when you go though the gears in sport mode is way to addictive.
and the burble when the revs are decreasing.

Would like to hear the difference with an MPE fitted as well though just for comparison.

No CEL light either which is always a bonus.

Josh - how many miles have you done with decat on ?
CEL may take 100-500 miles to come on with decat and no remap or a JB4, to clear O2 sensor codes.

At a guess I would say roughly 300 will just have to wait an see.

Where did you get it wrapped? I keep meaning to get that done to mine.
Place called Shady Tints on the Purley way had a few bits done by them over the years. just popped by one Saturday and they squeezed me in was only there about an hour.

check out there Instagram pretty impressive what they do and the amount of decent cars they get in.

That's pretty handy. I'm going to Cooper Croydon on Monday for a "free" Winter Check. Think I may well have to pop in on my way back.

And if you want to hear what MPE sounds like in the flesh, I might be able to help.

Hoping to hear a few different varieties at Bluewater on the 29th.

Bit of advice if the gate is shut for shady there more than likely still open just have to get out and push the button so they can buzz you through.

I like your style BP. Bluewater = cheaper = more money for mods. Man maths :lol2:

Oh, and the meet. And Five Guys!

Matt,

Aye - I'm keen to go to the Meet and she's never been to B'water so kill 2 birds etc.

Not sure if I'm going to do much more to my car TBH as its doing all of what I want from it pretty well these days.

May have to channel any man maths funds towards 2 wheels as my local triumph dealer is playing mid games with me about the new Speed Triple R due in 2016 - trying to resist as my current S3R is fecking corker but they'll lend me one and that'll be it, job done - sold......
