Remorse

Very valid points and can't say I disagree. if I could have a brand new M3 or a F. Id get the M3 hands down, but secondhand ownership is a different story.

Worth considering if you're in the market for a E9x M3, not much can compare to a "M" car steering feel in my honest opinion. However what you lose in that you gain in reliability not trying to sell you it, but I don't trust buying a used M3 without knowing whether its been properly warmed up before driven hard (rod bearings) - Only real thing that held me back from getting one.

I'm guilty.. ? keeping this until M2s depreciate abit more

If you're with AMI for normal insurance AMI Breakdown Coverage is really good. Came in handy a few times when I owned the 135i.

Hi all, Incase anyone is looking to get new tyres, it'll be a nice time to get RE003s. http://www.bridgestonetyrecentre.co.nz/promotions/current-offer/ Buy 1 get 1 half price.

Hi all, Is it me or is the M2 depreciating quite quickly? I've seen quite a few on trademe for around the 75k mark. Genuine question as I'm interested in purchasing one in the near future and deciding when it would be the best time to get one. Thanks.

Is that price right? 2K USD. Anyways. https://ltmotorwerks.com/ would be your best bet. Ive heard nothing but good things from them. Also guaranteed fitment. Hope that helps.

JTUNE will be able to do it also, $800 for FMIC and DP sounds about right. Doesn't hurt to ask them for a quote as well.

I got JTUNE to install mine, since they've done a few 7" VRSF for E9x and E8x platforms. Wanted to service the car with MOTUL X-cess as well, so it was convenient for me. I got mine off @gaijin since he went big tom FMIC for his single turbo conversion. My car is AT and it feels slightly different to stock FMIC, a little lag yes. But very minimal. Not to the point where you notice it. However, with that being said. The car pulls alot more consistently now. Im also running MHD Stage1+ so I had to get a FMIC before Summer came around regardless. Hope that helps!

Hi all, I'm wanting to get a VRSF 7" FMIC installed on my 135i, I was wondering whether anyone has any recommendations as to where I could get this done? Thanks in advance.

It pulls more consistently that's for sure, I'm pretty sure this is more of a placebo effect but the car feels like it builds boost more quickly. The noise itself is quite intoxicating

Car went from no engine mods to a few over the weekend. Thanks to @gaijin , Martin was extremely helpful and got everything done quickly (would've taken me atleast a few hours alone) VRSF CP, HKS BOV, BMS Intake and BMS Oil Catch Can tucked away Before and after Pics:

@Mada You can probably get a brand new set for about $550 Landed, send me a PM if you want me to link you. @TermiPeteNZ Cheers man, Aesthetics of the car will most likely change in the future to 1M front and rear. But performance mods first

Hi all, I've been on this forum for about two months, which is when I first purchased a bone stock 135i. Modifications currently on the car are mainly visual. Visual Mods: Started off with the Front bumper Gloss black Wrap, Plasti-dip Grille, Carbon diffuser, Carbon Boot-lip and finally Black-line Taillights thanks @BM WORLD Recently got a set of Nkb Elite 7X with NITTOs, Engine modification: Not too much , will be FBO shortly though. Currently running MHD Stage 1+ Look forward to meeting members at meets -Nathan

Hi team, I am looking for an aftermarket 135i axleback, does not have to be a particular brand, can even been custom/PE. Trying my luck on here before I look at buying a BERK one from overseas. Thanks, Nathan.
