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.

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

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 paid 210 eur but I found the part online for a little bit less.
https://www.salesafter.eu/bmw-cars/m...ml?language=en 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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL2CXuY3IG0 |

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.
