120D Details, Problems And 'To do's

Hello,
My name is Paul and i have a 4 door '04 120d (163 bhp). I am looking to restore it to a mint condition and to improve it with some mods.
I've created this thread because I want all of your advice on what I want to do and what I could do.

The car has:
• The Aerodynamic Pack
• Sport Leather Seats
• Steering Wheel Comands
Problems:
• Left head-light not working ( some genius hit the car and ran off )
• Front bumper chipped
• Rear bumper is missing an ornament
• The clutch is slipping
• The acceleration pedal is falling off

What i want to do
:
• Replace the Aero Pack with the Performance Pack

• Rear Bumper with Parking sensors

• Install the Illuminated door sill strip retrofit kit

• Replace the Headlights with a retrofit facelift kit
- http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...8&postcount=98
- If somebody knows what parts and stuff I need , don’t be shy
- I have Bi-Xenon headlights

• Carbon wrap the mirror covers, grills and the interior silver trim

• Change the CD player because it’s an aftermarket and it doesn’t support AUX

• Make an iPhone Dock in the ashtray

• Install a Cup Holder

• Install the Dash Storage Compartment


• Replace the Clutch and Pedals

• Get a Roof Rack and a luggage box

• Get a new Exhaust (not sure which one yet)

• Better Sound Insulation for the engine compartment

• Get some bigger wheels (Rotiform BLQ ; VMR V710s or some ADV1s)

• Put some Toyo R888s on those wheels

• Get a sport suspension and lower the car to the limit OR (this is the big one) install an Air Lift sistem

- I guess not many BMW owners do this but I would try to give it that low dub look that Vw and Audis have


• Full Detail Process ( Interior , Exterior , Engine , AC system )
I’ve attached a picture of the car so you can get a general ideea of the whole project.

If you would like to give me some advice, think of it as your own project and tell me what you would do with the car.
( Mods, Rims, Accesories, Kits, Anything Goes)

Thanks

Sounds like some nice plans.
Keen for the dub look too. Though finding it hard to find a lowering package for the hatch

You've got some cool mod plans. I'm also looking for a roof rack because I need to transport my jump skis quite often. They're 80" so that's pretty big to fit in a 1 hatch. It works, I've done it untill now but I'm afraid I will damage the interior..

The Performance bumpers should add a real nice touch to the car. Feel free to let us know if you need to get setup with some VMR V710's and we'll be more then happy to send some your way.
