My god that color is so beautiful. A great combination with Dakota Leather Mocha.

Congrats Rivanov! Very nice specification!

From my point of view, after 30.000 km and 14 months with my F40 on the wish list would be:
- M package brakes is a must have (if you have 18" or 19" wheels the cost of M package brakes it is very low; the looks is great and efectiveness I belive is much better. The standard brakes are good in city, but on the alpine passes, even supporting out by engine braking is not satisfied)
- can't say anything bad about the 118i engine, but deciding to buy DCT I would consider twice 120i which has much more power, strut under bonnet and extras (like M package brakes or bigger brakes) are cheaper with this engine. 7s from 0 - 100km/h maybe is not a hot hatch, but I think is a very good result. I believe that on resale it is going to get back a large part of the higher price paid.

Installed the M Performance steering wheel yesterday.
It is actually alot firmer than the original steering wheel, which feels mushy in comparison. This steering wheen has no flex or give irregardless of where you push on it. It also has distinct edges which dig into your hands and provides more grip. It elevated the driving feel alot and I was not expecting that at all.

next up are the M performance forged carbon mirrors. Stay tuned

Better pictures will flllow soon. Didn’t have much time to take a proper photoshoot. But I love Skyscraper Grey! It’s such a beautiful color that changes depending on the weather.

I love this new color. Suits the car very well.

Test drove this yesterday… not a direct rival to M135i. Amazing machine. I especially liked the 5 cylinders and the performances.

Effortlessly quick car, just couldn't live with that dash..

Rivanov · 05-01-2022, 01:22 PM

565km after the first two days. Loving this car so much! Went to the sea today. It was great. Harman Kardon is absolutely amazing in this car!

Installed the OEM forged carbon mirror caps. Note, these do not screw on - they clip on. So if youre stupid like me and spend a small fortune on these (850 eur) remember they can easily be stolen.

Was it woth it? ....Yes!

I got it from my local BMW dealer. It's an OEM part for the F40 and G20. Mine is with alcantara, but there's a version with carbon fiber as well.

Be careful with the install, the gear selector electronics are easy to short circuit.

I've also ordered this fairly unknown interior part in Alcantara

A bit of M135i love

Installed the M Performance carbon exhaust tips. Very high quality. Looks great! The install was fairly stright forward - you need to to have the right tools to cut into stainless steel.
