We're around. Traded my black 120 hatch(Black Magic) in for the 135i coup. Thought I'll be very sad coz I loved her to bits, but man now I'm in heaven.

Hey 645Nm, didnt Risipit beat you a couple of times when she had her 120i & you were in your 120d

 

[Twinz]

Yip, my ass got smacked!!! The only time i won was a chip + turbo tuner (cranked up the commonrail turbo to 520Nm). Then SHE also got a chip :thumbsup: I then had to get chip + turbo tuner + upgraded turbo :slap: we haven't raced since

645Nm hooked me up and yes, it made a huge difference. It didn't lag anymore, the acceleration was incredible, had a far greater power band and it red lined higher. I put new air filters in and it was like a new ride. Only paid R5k: SO worth it!!!

Sweet! Sounds good!

What air filter did you install? Did yours come with a flat pad or a cylindrical paper filter thing like mine?

Mine is #6 on this page - http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=UL52&mospid=50766&btnr=13_1123&hg=13&fg=20

Went for the entry level kit cold air intake K&N part 57-0648 (had to look it up now), which made a difference to the standard factory fitted filter, but with the extra 25kw nothing else really mattered.

Hi Risipit

Are you talking about an extra 25kW in your 120i or in your 135i?

 

[Twinz]

Carbonic...you have to realise it does not matter whether a chip produces 10kw or 25kw, when risipit gets hold of the car with a chip the thing boost magically to double its power...for sure..meneer

Xcede 120d right here folks.

Welcome bud. How you doing? You glad with your decision to go Oil burner?

 

[Obviously]

Thanks bro. Good & you? Yeah, this being my first diesel had me being a little apprehensive at first but I'm sure glad to have crossed over onto the dark side...especially after tasting the softserve on offer. :thumbsup:

I am looking ofr 130 or 135 stad wheels. My daughter damaged my rims.17 inch. Do any of you have the original rims for the 1 series as i have need of them if you changed it.

 

[Twinz]

I'm sure glad to have crossed over onto the dark side...especially after tasting the softserve on offer. :thumbsup:

@Obviously
Any other mods planned? Air filter?
I thought about quite a few mods but also left everything else standard after the software upgrade. The car felt funny at high speeds and in cornering with the stock rims & tyres but adding the 335 rims & tyres made a huge difference in the handling compartment.
Do you have the second or third generation commonrail turbo?

The car has a K&N 57i induction kit with custom made heat shield fitted as well. I've got the 17" wheel & tyre upgrade, Star Spoke 256 I think, so there's plenty of grip in the twisties, well for me at least, except on full bore standing start take offs where the 205/50-17's at the rear simply cannot cope with the torque on offer. I suspect that the staggered setup with the 225/45-17 rears as per the M Sport model would be better in this regard. Yeah, I share your sentiments about the high speed stability concern, from 23. km/h onwards it seems to get a bit light at the front end almost like you have to make a concerted effort to keep it from wandering, with a corresponding lightness in steering feel. Nothing dangerous but just not the rock solid stability that I expected. Once again I suspect that the lowered setup & improved aero parts on the M Sport model would help in this regard. I believe that mine is the third gen commonrail. It's got the ally block 177HP N47 motor & EDC17 ECU.
