On my part, the only thing that makes me don't want to get the Performance exhaust is the tips. My car is black and I just love the black tips. Any other color, why not?! Looks and sounds awesome!

I have Sapphire black metallic 135i with performance exhaust, decals and cf mirrors/spoiler. To be quite honest the black cars can look "too black" and i honestly believe that the performance exhaust looks better then the stock tips. The chrome adds a little definition to the car, and helps highlight the styling. I met up with a few fellow 1addicts today, Chyld will undoubtedly be putting up some pics of our cars, check it out, i promise you wont be disappointed.

The black tips on the 135i are just a cheap tip cover... The chrome ones on the performance exhaust are solid and VERY nice. I can't believe that some people are trying to put the black cheap ones over the nice solid ones...

I just picked up a Black Sapphire 135i with Perfomance Exhaust this weekend, I'm very pleased with the look and the sound of the system!

Performance suspension?

Love mine. Sounds great and the chrome tips are way better than stock.

Also have done the CF cold air intake, which really increases the sound factor.

Has anyone installed the performance suspension? Mulling it over.

I had the performance suspension put on before delivery, really like it. Still waiting on the exhaust and intake.

Yes I am, I figured I would use them up before getting new ones. although the amount of driving I am able to do it might be a while.
Suspension is nice not much lean at all through the corners, and it was only lowered about an inch or so.

I think you just made up my mind. Anyone in need of factory stock suspension components, exhaust, air intake with filter, cashmere silver metallic rear view mirror covers, front grill chrome surround black slats? In Nevada.
