Looks like a good list and all perfectly doable. Are you going for the off-centre bush setup for the rear calipers? Have you got a supplier in mind for the headlight lenses if you do go ahead?

There's definitely more I'm forgetting! Yeah bushes and disc shims are here. Not entirely sure if I need the shims but never mind!

Tbh I just ordered some unbranded lenses from ebay for the enormous price of about £30. I'll be PPFing them anyway, so paying triple the price for fancy ones from name brands in the US didn't seem like it was worth the uplift when they're most likely all from the same factory 🤷‍♂️

It will be like a new car!
Don't forget all the new arms and bushes you will want on your new subframe 😉

Rear arms are fairly new M3 jobbies so they're sticking around. But will be replacing the brake pipes, bushes, and all other hardware. Might give the diff a blast whilst I've got it off too!

Can you do 30 day insurance swap for hair dressing <no rinse> free ? as your bmw has an issue<hair dryer broken> 🎻

I still miss mine! some lowering springs, yellow dot RX8 anti roll bars and a fast road alignment transforms these.

Keep the oil on the max line and you should be ok!

This one will be getting precisely sod all in the way of mods - if I change one thing, I know I’ll change more and it’s not in good enough nick to be worth it!

Nah, the 130i is insured via a broker for mods/agreed value so no easy route out sadly!

Lowering springs and an alignment transform it. Sounds like you could fit them yourself as well! Would be a shame not to! Go on!

I think to align this rusty f*cker I'd have to replace every single component and half the chassis 😂

This is an acceptable reason not to

The little blue horror is insured from tomorrow so I’ve obviously still got it in bits. Mostly just tarting it up where possible, and treating any easy to treat rot to stop it getting worse. It probably has about 10kg of added weight in Dynax S50 in the hollow sections now.

Also bought stuff for a full major service (chain driven thankfully so no need to do a belt), replaced the battery, and have ordered some plain plates to replace the oversized dealer branded monstrosities on there now.

Haven’t really started on the 1er yet but I’ve got annual leave coming up so we’ll see how much I can get done then…

Quite happy with how these turned out too:
