Thanks. They're BMW 261's.

12mm spacers fitted too, but I'm getting a bit of scrubbing :(

New wheels on...

Thanks. Yeah, standard handling isn't the greatest, particularly the skittish back end when cornering on bumpy roads. I have some rear subframe inserts which I'll fit when changing the suspension. Apparently it makes quite a improvement. Some nice upgrades you have there! I almost bought a set...

Wow. I would never tire of listening to that.

Ha, it's not that loud. Maybe a bit louder than I'd want though! The135i backbox does have the valve that opens/closes at lower revs though. I'll fit that tomorrow and see how it sounds.

Small update. I finally had enough of the custom backbox, due to the fact it was hugely visible and obviously aftermarket, so replaced it with a 135i backbox. It’s a totally different sound. Quieter in car, but much more sonorous when ‘on it’. And it pops away like a good ‘un on the overrun...

The hips on the singer :hearteyes: Awesome pictures.

That looks fab! We changed our NA to an NC last yr. The NC feels like a softer, grown up NA. We now have lowering springs and custom exhaust on it which has changed the characteristics for the better. I love it.

That looks brilliant. I wouldn't change a thing. Our next car hopefully.

That one looks really disappointing. The arch gap, grey plastics, number plate surrounds, wheels hidden in the arches. All easily rectified I suppose. And do they all come with chrome window surrounds?

Best colour for them. I looked for one in that colour but ended up with black. Could it do with some new side repeaters? Look a little yellow though could be pics.

Incredible car. I'd love to see it with the current wheels in silver.

Awesome. Look forward to progress!

It was, yeah. That thing felt rapid, can't imagine what the Z3M would be like. Just a shame the steering felt completely disconnected to the chassis...

Thanks dude. The 3 doors do demand a huge premium over 5 doors. There have been a couple of LE’s (that have all the kit, bar the rear roof spoiler) that have sold on Birds recently. A nine owner car with 60k+ miles and lots of BMW Perfomance additions went for £11k. Another one owner car is on...

Thanks. I did consider painting the box black, but the examples I've seen look cheaper still if anything. When it's polished up it doesn't look too bad, but it's whether I can be a*sed polishing it up every time I clean it. It'll be getting a service and remap in May, so I'll give it until then...

Yeah, that's lovely.

They're not huge. I think boot capacity is the same as a mk5 Golf (not the R32 which is smaller due 4wd gubbins). We don't have kids, but used our last one for camping trips - easily enough space for 2 x mountain bikes and camping equipment. It's often said that they are really cramped in the...

So I’ve got myself another 130i. I did have a 130i LE previously, but sold it to finance a wedding/house purchase. The car is ok spec wise, but is missing nav (not bothered) and xenons (bit bothered). Three door 130’s come up for sale so infrequently though. Even though the LE was only 1/160...

Silver on silver, less chav, more elegance...

Yeah that's lovely. Bright silver FTW.

Wow. I do love a road trip. Epic car, roads and scenery. Does your Mrs get a bit narked when you keep asking her to take pics?

I bucked the trend and went for something completely different with mine... Ok that's a lie. ASW.

Ah my old one, and in fact my wedding car (road trip to our wedding in Germany). I wondered where it was now!

Prob me on my way to work. Not been cleaned for two weeks but silver is pretty forgiving! Didn't spot yours, though i normally am on autopilot when commuting.

Mmm, that 928. The Focus proving that less is more.

Hubba. Dat thigh gap.

Love the car, HATE the stickers. Cheapens a nice motor.

Don't think it's on the forum unfortunately. That was my wedding chariot so would like to see it looked after, ha.
