Re: BMW newbie
Welcome BMWSiao and z76 to the forum
For your 318i and you want to feel more power, go for mods that give you more torque.
Torque is the one that give u the boost and acceleration, and bhp is the power for u to hit top speed...
In SG, we almost do not have a chance to go top speed.. so abit no point...
And as our car is RWD, going for staggered setup will help a lot in cornering...handling as well... but cost is an issue cos you cannot rotate rear tires to front and vice versa...

Re: BMW newbie
Thanks bro. Super newbie here. What do you suggest for a must-have mod for my new bimmer? The thing is it is still under warranty (1.5 years old). On the other hand, I don't want to void the warranty.
Some of the aesthetic and performance mods I had in mind are :
1. ECU tuning
2. Angel Eye Light
3. 18" staggered sports rims
4. DVD player/Reverse cam/GPS display unit
5.
6.
Bros, please advise.... thanks!

Re: BMW newbie
Basically what AC is saying is whatever you mod, that part warranty will void.
Anything estatic is easier to mod, if you target the ECU then need to look for piggyback stuff ba. Reflash the ECU then reverting will Be more troublesome.

Re: BMW newbie
Hi BMW,
actually the weight wont be of alot of a difference......probably go for lighter rims better and slam in with a good sets of coilover ( improve the handling better )
* power is nothing without proper Handling..............

Re: BMW newbie
Save weight tip 1: Go join the meetup badminton or soccer games and shed about 5-10kg weight. One of the most affordable mod! Instant 5bhp gain!!
Somehow my car slower and slower...i wonder why....feel like lost of 20 bhp..:whatthe:

UNLESS
you mod with M performance parts from PML or MA... then Warranty covered...
that is a fact.. cannot run.... Even you change rims outside, PML will say that it is bigger so it will affect your suspension blah blah blah... :/
Whatever you mod, sure void warranty on that part...BMWSiao;789114 said:
