Very smart, I like that a lot!

I don't understand a few of the packs though (I rarely do with BM's) what are these?
Comfort access, Sun glass package, Extended lights

 

[Matt W]

Clio media?

Like it.

 

[Ed.innit]

Hush Mitt
Where else is it to go?

Cat

Comfort access allows the car to be locked and unlocked and started with the key in your pocket.
Sun glass is a tint on the rear 3 windows
Extended lights are door handle lights that come on when you unlock also various ambient lights set in the roof lining and door cards

Ah cool, nice options!

I think 1M's come with a Tracker as standard? They should do.

Lovely car. I had a ride in a E92 335d which was tuned last week. Was mental quick.

 

[Ed.innit]

Yea id like a go in a 335d too, crazy amount or torque.

Theres 1000's of ways around the crappy security. And BMW disabled the OBD ports so its not possible to code a blank key from the car anymore.
Id never let that put me off buying a car.

Hope you have more luck than i do.

Bad experince?

Thieving b******s will nick anything if they really want too.

 

[brisa4984]

yeh, previous bad experience mate...nevermind.

Like the 335i tho dude. always had a soft spot for these. Tune well and all IIRC

 

[Darren S]

Love the shape on these - BMW got the coupe (especially the top end with twin pipes) just spot on right.

I think silver for some reason works especially well on them.

Nice purchase

 

[Ian_182]

That looks very nice, and I like the interior re-trim.

 

[Slammed172]

Love it. Think i'll own one when I'm 30+. Or a 335D.

My mate part ex'd his in BMW cardiff on wed for a 135i. We had a good drive before we took it in. They go very well, will miss that car.
Was suprised how well the 135i goes too.

 

[AdDaMan]

Awesome. Interior looks mint now. You getting it mapped?

 

[George182]

Very nice indeed!

Who did the trimming of the interior parts - they did a brilliant job!

 

[finch wxm]

Very Nice buddy

 

[Addicted]

Always wanted a 335, love it!

 

[raviedavie]

I've got a 335i M sport convertible in the same colour, black with red leather and I love it. Engine is a masterpiece !

 

[CabinFever]

Lovely purchase, looks great.

I was toying with buying one a while back, but couldn't find a decent spec/colour.
Enjoy.

 

[Ed.innit]

Thanks for the kind words.
Lavish automotive did the trims, they are of a good quality.
I fancy a JB4 for it, maybe next year, in the summer

Love the M135i, we borrowed one as part of our local dealers media day, the thing was sooo much fun, huge love for the 7 speed DCT box.
The M235i is supposed to be an even better package

 

[C.J]

Looks tidy!

 

[jon_r]

Lovely car. Very similar to my brothers. Get it mapped, you won't regret it, his is an animal now!

 

[dan_88]

Nice car. Get a JB4 or Cobb ap, you won't regret it

Is his petrol?
I like the sound of the JB4 as its plug and play, then when it needs to go into the dealers, you literally flash back, then unplug it and its like its never been there, from what Ive read

 

[Cub.]

Lovely car!

Can you PM details for who did the alcantara interior please

 

[George182]

Lavish automotive @Cub.

The jb4 is a piggy back ecu, you have to take go into the ecu box, disconnect some connectors and plug in the jb4 harness. It's not hard and takes around 30 mins once your used to it. The Cobb ap is a lot easier to use as you flash the car through the obd port. Both have there's advantages. I'm currently running the Cobb but i may refit the jb4 when I go fbo again

More reading is obviously required.

Will it affect your warranty remapping it?

 

[dan_88]

If they find out. The beauty of the above is that they can be removed for warranty/service work

 

[C.J]

Warranty is the sole reason I've left mine alone. The Cobb option does sound the safest option though.

Tis a shame as such a simple mod changes the car completely. For the record I've made various claims, just removed the device first

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Very smart, liking the re trimmed parts

Youve had both did you say?

Fancy listing the advantages and disadvantaged of both, mainly to aid me being lazy and reading through 10's of posts on E90post

Still got both.

Cobb + easier to install, hand held device to monitor + log, loaded with loads of maps for different mods, alters timing curve
- generally more expensive, takes longer to switch maps, tend to run more boost to achieve similar power to jb4

Jb4 + change maps on the go through steering wheel, again different maps for different mods, easy to integrate with meth if you wanted to go that route, generally cheaper
- harder to install, stock timing curve, need to connect to laptop to log,

You wouldn't be disappointed in either, they both do a good job. Smiles for £ you can't beat the JB4 in my opinion

 

[philmots]

That's really smart, good choice..

I never quite get the spacers though, I think they look daft.

Door handle lights are standard on the 6 cylinder ones..

Recently picked up another BMW but went for a proper engine!
