1: M Performance Chassis
*You will need to purchase the coils separately. They cost about R6000 = $562
*They are Red, front + rear.
Impressions
I decided on this upgrade firstly due to the aesthetics, more than the athletic ability it will add to my car. The initial drop of 10mm was tough to see on the first day, but after a couple of days and seeing it from further away, it was noticeable.
Performance
Absolutely amazing. Anyone that has an M135i knows the great handling it posses out the box. However after having the car for a year, I did notice some body roll. There was also too much oversteer - which is fun at times, scary on other occasions. The handling is very precise. It's quick, agile and spot on. It ducks and dives with ease and the body roll has greatly decreased. I should also add my tyres are pretty worn out, I do need a new set {I have run flats at the moment}. The ride is stiffer. The front going over bumps okay, the back however comes down hard, this is at near rolling speeds - I have a manual. I drove 200km today across different types of tar, it's not horrible or unbearable, but noticeably stiffer.
-For anyone thinking of purchasing this upgrade, I would give a double thumbs up. You will feel the difference no doubt. The drop makes the M135i look amazing, even though it's only 10mm. The precision that the car has afterwards is amazing- or should I say, more amazing.
2: Race Display Steering Wheel
*The thinner wheel is available, as seen in the F30 I believe. Also full Alcantara and flashy lights
Impressions
They original steering wheel was awesome. The M Performance Wheel does not have an "M" logo, but the newer version, the thinner version, does however. There was no real benefit to adding the Wheel, besides being able to see your; Eco Efficiency % and the important; Oil + Water temp, without entering the hidden menu.
Performance
Not much here. Awesome feel to it. I love the flat bottom, but it doesn't take time to get used to, if you using a certain steering technique. The lights are awesome!! I don't see them that often, since I set it at 6000rpm, so I see it in 1st gear and that about it hahaha! Still a cool item to show to your friends
3: M Performance Body Kit

*Parts arrive raw, unpainted - So you can paint them whatever style you prefer!

Impressions
At first I thought it was over the top, but I kinda got over the 'Plain' look of the car. So I obviously set up this thread, and received a lot of help from all corners of the world
! I will upload the pics tomorrow and you guys can decide if you like it or not! Some people did not like the top stripe over the car, but others find it awesome! If you do go for the stripe over the top, think of to purchasing the black kidneys grills, they are pricey but they have this effect of making the grills look larger. At the end of the day, it's your car and if you love the look, that's all that should matter
Cheers!
Let me know if there's anything else anyone would like to know
Hopefully I will be getting the 405M or 624M over the upcoming months!
Pics will be up tomorrow afternoon
