Re: 125i 130i registry
Hi Bro,
I am glad that there is another 130i lover here. Hahaha. I love the million dollars voice of the inline 6 of our N52 engines.
I have modified my baby with the following and hopefully it could help you in the path of the poison that you wish to chance upon.
1) ADVAN RZ rims (very sweet, recommended by our beloved E46 monster)
2) AP brakes, front and rear (ultimate stopping power ;P)
3) BMW Performance front strut bar (if you are changing to coilovers, two little bars could be obstructing your adjustable pillow mounts if you are getting such a setup. add this strut bar could help understeer if the two bars are removed.)
4) JRZ Suspension (I have a DA race kit which proves to be quite comfortable for street driving. If you want a test ride, let me know. Little modifications have to been done for a race kit.)
5) GruppeM intake (still stuck in Japan)
Taking a break now and a LSD would be next on the list.
Have fun!

Re: 125i 130i registry
Sweet...
And I thought everyone running LSB... nobody answer me...
Some things on top of my mind. Anyone can direct me where to get the best deal? I haven't been to PML BMW Perfomance yet, but on the website, seems like most stuff is carbon, I don't mind just normal.
1) BMW Performance Front Spoiler
2) BMW Performance Roof Spoiler
3) BMW Performance Foot pedals
4) BMW Performance Strut bar
5) Breyton Race LS OR Advan RS (18")
6) Headunit - the stock is REALLY basic. Any seniors did any thing to your headunit yet? Was just thinking of a single din to replace the exsiting headunit. Basic as well.
6) Is it possible to just add a Hurricane filter or something similar to the air in-take? (Sorry..noob)
Above for starters... The rest... slowly...lol

Hi littleluki,
Sounds like you are having fun. Strut bar looks nice though I did not feel any structural benefits. Air filter will be an economic choice rather than a performance one, in that you can clean and reuse most of the aftermarket ones, where you save over the disposable ones over the long term, but I did not measure any performance gains.

Re: 125i 130i registry
Due to pillow mounts and adjustable knobs, the two little bars ( I assume strut supports ones) are removed so that the coilovers could be fitted.
I realized understeer after removing them and I consults suspension specialists from Europe in regards to the little bars, they tell me to install them back if possible. If not, get a strut bar.
My car was not turning right in track (PG) like I first have it and fish tail pretty much in corners. Sometimes when you get a little fast around corners in the streets, you could feel the difference. Upon installing the strut bar the steering immediately feel sharp again.
The car simply turns from my feel.
I may not be right but that's my feel though.
Feel free to share your experiences if you do have them removed too.

Angel lights help!
Ok. So now the ring on my headlights is yellow. Main bulb is white. Can I just change the ring to white? Where can I find it? One of the guys on the sponser site quote me quite expensive. Just want to check is it possible to just change the ring to white?
Thanks
