Love the e82s, I'm on my second. Like the stripe and blacklines on yours: they suit the white and break it up a bit.

I love the 1 series, especially the coupe. I like BMW peformance stuff but some of it is just silly and ruins the looks of the coupe IMHO, which is what has happened to yours. I'm sure you like it, but it just aint for me.

I'll never get why people spend what must be thousands on BMW performance stuff to then fit to the lowest level diesel... why not just save that money and put towards fuel for a 125i/130i.... makes zero sense to me but each to their own.

Everyone is entitled to there own oppinion...

I do see your point on spending money on a 118D however at the time I bought the car I was only 18 and a 118D was the only engine that I could get insured on as no body would insure me at that age. Would probably still struggle now at 20.

Yeh fair play then!

What interior performance goodies do you have?

Love those alloys too, one of the best bmw designs since the csl's

I dont have any performance interior bits yet, hoping to get the gear knob, handbrake with gators and pedals in the next few weeks, would love the full carbon interior trim but couldnt bring myself to paying BMW's prices eek

Just get your existing trim hydro dipped, much better than wrapping.


You did well for 18!
