Number plate arrived!

The plate has arrived. Waiting the time to put them on the car.

Gruppe M RAM intake

A serious intake combining cold air induction, relocation and shortening of the system. How does it work with the intercooler? But 20ps just intake alone in a tuned car is massive even for twin turbo engine. EVO IX could not get any extra power from an intake system.

It comes with a premium price! 198000Yen ($1AUD = 60Yen atm).

135i accessories wish list

Here is some in house BMW performance goodies for the 135i. Me want!

Something I already have from the cooperate package:

 

Left: iPod cable; Right: Portable Satnav.

This is major in the wish list (Please buy me this!)

This is the carbon fibre diffuser at the front.

Matches well with the black grill and the diffuser at the rear. Cool!

Something I will definitely pay for!

  
Left: Performance steering wheel, a pump kit when I change the tyres to RE11.

Something I may not even get:

   

   

I think the orginal M kit looks heaps better.

(well the CF strut does not fit the 135i because of the engine?)

What you get for $75 are a badge to put on the grill (right...), a vinyl sticker (to go with OzRenesis one) and a laminated membership card from BMWCCV. I wonder what do we give for OzRenesis :)

First mod of the car will be tyres!

I have been commenting on the lack of performance of the Potenza run flat tyres. Although when they are heated up on the track, they are actually not bad. But I am willing to give the RE-11 a go. Watch the video. Lots of Japanese racers uses them over S-tyres.

These are the sizes I am thinking: 225/40 R18 front and 255/35 R18 rear.

The table on the left demonstrate the circumference difference between the stock tyres to the RE11 available sizes. To tell you the truth, I copied the sizes of a Japanese tuner do to his car. :)
