Hello,

I’ve had my 65 plate m135i now for around 6 months and can honestly say I absolutely love it. It ticks almost every box, of course there are a few bits here and there but who’s doesn’t?

One of the main things I have noticed is how easy it is to spin the tyres .. without actually meaning too and not only in the wet. Yes I’ve checked the tyres and there is plenty of tread lol

Something I want to start doing over the course of the next year is to actually make the car more powerful, usual new exhaust, air intake etc.

The first thing I want to look at is increasing the size of my wheels, in terms of the width.

Has anyone done anything similar and could give me a few pointers? Are there any bigger m cars that I could use wheels from maybe?

You should look into fitting a LSD. There is also the frontpafe PH build thread on improving an M135

As above an LSD is where you ought to be looking at first. It'll help a great deal with traction and then you'll be able to make use of the extra power you put on later. Some new suspension bits will help too.
