Birds B1 setup - Hampshire

[mikeyscott]

Anyone South Hampshire based with Birds B1 kit? I've got a 135i

[mikeyscott]

Yes they run a 130i, but has LSD and ARBs too.

Sounds like a no brainer, transformed your car then.

With current weather, am tiptoeing around

[mikeyscott]

I'll see if Kevin available next Friday

Can you try getting the MPSSs asap then, I am certainly not tip toeing around with them, last night wind and torrential rain, wow, I've never been so impressed with tyres!!

Are you on standard M Sport suspension ?

Yes cracking tyre, I had them on my R32

[mikeyscott]

Better order some from tyre leader

Think I'll go 225/245 I think

Birds have a 130i demonstrator with the kit fitted. Not a 135i but the chassis is basically the same. Best bet is to ring them up and arrange to go see them - they were very helpful when I bought the B1 kit for mine. It makes a massive improvement to the car.

I'm yet to remove the RFT, but picked up a 2nd hand under 1000 mile B1 kit. Thus far it's made little difference, so tyres in new year / spring

I have the Birds full suspension upgrade including ARBs and the Quaife LSD fitted to my 335i, Birds recommended the Conti sport contact 5 which are a quantum leap from the RFTs.

Which is what I'll go for in new year - CS5 unless CS6 released

Dave, did you do all the Birds mods in one go?

If I recall the car had the items when purchased
