How to build a 120i e87

Wow that is an extensive list of items that need sorting.. Good job on the 335i brakes, with a car like this you need top notch brakes and suspension! Still all the best I think it will all be worth it! :bravo:

Yeah was kinda expecting it for the price I paid

To be honest if I wasn't going to be putting this car on the track every so often the stock brakes were actually very good

Well 40k is not that bad just redo everything
40k for the engine and body is not a bad price :smilebounce:

Since none of my heater valves are connected and my climate control doesn't turn on. I decided to remove the AC unit and get a new belt. Had to mod the block thou so it doesn't catch

Modified Radiator test fit with new fans. Going to get another fan. These are t the cheap Midas crap they cost 2700 a pop

Radiator was also modified so it was now sectioned which should help it heat up quick and once the thermostat is open it should cool down quick too

Msport steering wheel installed

Old one

Also installed my m3 steering rack but might have an issue with a leaking pipe fml

Just waiting on
Additional fan
Sump as myne is leaking
Rear caliper as myne is seized by the sliding pin
Oil cooler to be installed

Haha thanks. Struggled to find a kit. Seems like NOS has lost its popularity. Went to turbo and nos connection to get the kit.

They just imported this bad boy

So car has been sitting for awhile as it had some issues to be resolved. Which most have been resolved.

I got a set of 18" 135i wheels as my 335i caliper upgrade was catching on a lot of rims
It's been ruining my life as minimum size I could go is 18" due to the caliper size and offset of the rims

Nice upgrade.

Wheels look great.

Where do you shop for your OEM spares, ie. steering wheel, rims, etc?
