Bux's BMW 123d M-Sport Coupe

[DB.]

I still think I'd rather a petrol, but the 123d has been tempting me. Looking at purchasing next year.

 

[Flat Eric]

It will be a while before I could afford one of these. But it's deffo something I will consider in a few years time. Not going to look too much into it yet otherwise I will want one.

 

[philmots]

As much as I love these.. I'd not have one over a E90 330d. 300hp/500lbft mapped and 6 cylinders. :-D

 

[RDH]

Proper mint! Uber jealous.

Nice

 

[Englebert]

They tick many boxes, great little cars.

Surely this route is a must...

 

[Flat Eric]

^^^^^^^
Looks evil.

 

[DB.]

Still prefer fresh silver wheels as opposed to anthracite/black!

 

[Bux]

Thanks for the comments guys, nice to know that everyone approves of the car haha!

Just a quick update, got the documents back from the DVLA so have just been able to put my private plate on

Apologies for the iPhone pic, couldn't be bothered to go get the camera

 

[Reev]

Bloody love these cars, big fan of that interior too.

 

[DB.]

Have you got a nav/screen in that bit that pops up?

Saw a friends girlfriends 1 series that had this, looked great!

Nah not got that, got the storage pack with a cubby hole in the dash instead.

Don't do that, looks good as it is

 

[chriscummins7]

Awesome cars! Loved ours, despite not being M-sport.

On it's way tuesday though for a new F30 320d. Will miss the POWER!

 

[Bux]

Managed to get out and take a couple new pictures, and also make a slight upgrade

[/url]


After seeing quite a few of the coupes on babybmw.net, I decided to get hold of 1 quick mod...
Can you guess what it is?

Darkline rear lights!

 

[DB.]

Love the lights, how much did they set you back? Oem?

 

[Bux]

Genuine BMW. They cost quite a bit... £265.01 to be exact. Changes the whole look of the rear though, especially with the new rear light pattern, makes it looks a lot newer.

 

[EllD90]

That was my mate's first mod on his 135i lol. Think he managed to squeeze a bit of discount though. Look great

 

[DB.]

Agreed pal, big improvement for such a subtle mod.

 

[Ash87]

lights look smart mate

Do you have the part number for the lights? Wouldn't mind a set of these on my 135

On the BMW system it just comes up with 'Rear Light' and a quantity of 1, but its just a single box with both lights in, and they come with bulbs too.

If yours already has the LED rear lights (like the ones i had) then they should just be plug and play.

Thanks mate. Mines a 58 plate so I'm guessing it has the same lights as yours did

 

[Jon.G]

Love those lights. Needs a CF boot lip now

 

[Matt W]

Yes! Looks mint.

 

[Gally]

I just never got on with the wheels. They look like they came with se spec or something. No offence. Silver Csl's needed.

This

 

[Bux]

Maybe in the future, don't want to do everything too quickly

 

[Bux]

Right, i've not done much to the car since I last posted, apart from some new rear tyres and constant cleaning (stupid black cars). I thought I would just post up this picture though as i'm a big wuss and refuse to take it out in the snow

 

[Dan@SJM]

Thats not bath is it!?

 

[Bux]

Just south of Bath, it's still hammering it down with snow

 

[Dan@SJM]

Ffs. Im getting cold today then

 

[Bux]

Little bit of an update, not really much has been happening to the Beemer lately.

First thing this weekend was new rear discs and pads as they were in need of doing. It's so much easier to do when you get to use a proper workshop!

Today I set about trying to sort out my headlight. Since I bought it it has been a bit scratched up and not as clear as the drivers side one, so I thought I might as well go and have a go at clearing it up.

Before:

Wet sanded:

First going over:

Second going over:

It's still not 100% but I'm happier with it than it was before.

Next things planned are a new front wheel (buckled ) and maybe some silversions for it.

 

[RDH]

Love it. Proper car.

 

[Luke.]

Looks good mate, I can't believe you've not debadged it yet.. Would of been my first mod..

 

[brisa4984]

Nice attempt with the lights. Mines looking so filthy!

 

[Bux]

I'm tempted to debadge it, but with it on it shows that its different to a 120/118

 

[Alan]

Pretty much identical to my old mans, tho his has black leather with the 'active seats'.
