When BMW Performance Intake/Strut

jcw2006aus · 06-23-2008, 04:58 AM

Just got the Performance book... from the dealer and under the BMW Performance Carbon Fibre strut brace, Availabilty, it has in brackets

(135i need BMW Performance Air Intake system to install Strut Brace) but the intake dosn't seem available for the 135 yet?

Any ideas? :iono:

Thanks,
Mark

I believe the air intake and the exhaust system have yet to pass ADRs but are expected to be available soon. Besides $2000+ for a strut brace is !@#$%%.........

I'd be up for the airbox and strut! Not at $2k though..

Just put the rear spoiler on today. Thats about the limit of my expenditure except possibly the short shift kit.

Maybe the waiting and wanting game......for the second time begins? hopefully someone comes up with some good looking strut brace and intake soon.... maybe I should start manufacturing some??? :biggrin:

That looks great on the LeMans blue

Nice job.

DIY, or did Doncaster BMW do it for you?

Also purchased in Aust or from Dan United?

I'd also be interested in getting the air intake...but some people have posted on here that it won't be available for the 135i (even though it's listed in the brochure)...so I don't really know what to expect now.

As has been already mentioned, BMW say that to fit the strut brace to the 135i you must fit the air intake...so I guess it must be coming? :iono:

IF ANYONE IN Sydney is replacing their rear spoiler and wants to sell the original can you please drop me a PM...thanks..:biggrin:
Especially if the colour is BSM..
