ive been thinking about retroffiting the front PDC and probably putting a snap in adapter it (note:i dont have the baseplate either) but i am open to new ideas



PS:I dont really have much money on hand (im a young boy)
the car has done 76,000 km until now and im planning to leave it to my mother in a few years so please no mod ideas like "flamethrower kit or fartcan exhaust"....im into more usable mods that make the experience more enjoyable

So you've got red pants already: what else could be added, really?

Yet, I would suggest considering:

1. Mud flaps;
2. Sport steering wheel (or may be just a leather steering wheel to save on the airbag module, but sport is much better to touch);
3. Sport front seats (retaining heating will add to the cost, but sport seats are heaven compared to basic overall).

That is a matter of taste. I like them, and they are practical!

Tint your windows black, and maybe change your grill or find some used 17" wheels

i might just do a remake of this....cheapskate style ofc....so 16 inch black alloys (bought brand new pirelli cinturato p7 runflats so really cant afford to get even bigger wheels)

[Kasimze]

"You must be joking, right?" Don't waste the money you don't even have in most stupid and pointless way - to get 16 inch black wheels (inexpensive! ) simply take off the covers (are your steels black?):





or just paint those covers of yours:

Who'd ever tell what's there:

If i do that i wont be able to afford buying a proper f30 in 2-3 years time.......(as i've said i wont ever sell the f20 im giving it to my mother after i buy another car) and if i start spending money on 18 imch alloys i will have to buy again a set of pirellis and that would be just madness O.O

I'd definitely go with this first:

2. Sport steering wheel (or may be just a leather steering wheel to save on the airbag module, but sport is much better to touch);

I have a 118i Sport GP 14 - and I love to drive it and see the beautiful almost luxury steering wheel in leather.

Inspired by this thread, I got myself this thing: BMS Short Throw Clutch Stop. (Just incidentally, it's not for RHD according to this thread, although it's strange people bought it having no clutching excess - you should feel if it would help. )

Installation wasn't exactly as seamless as reported:

1. I had to kneel by the car and lie down in the driver's foot well - that implied clothes cleanness preserving measures ;

2. The factory counterpart failed to come out one piece: I happened to rip it in two but the second part fell out promptly to be removed as well;

3. Pushing the item in place took some effort that must be applied in the right direction - mostly upwards. Figuring that out, to avoid breaking the plastic fixing pin, I dropped the thing behind the left foot rest - it seemed all the fun, but luckily my hand proved small enough and the item hadn't fallen too deep - I managed to rescue it!

The clutching experience improved dramatically. The new stop buffer itself feels spongy compared to the firm factory one, but it does eliminate the pedal's void excessive travel completely: the pedal stops just a bit behind the biting point. That saves time of my life (there's not much left already ) and makes driving noticeably more exiting: gear shifting and second gear starts are much facilitated. A "must have" for a sharp shifter!

I don't think I've ever seen such a poverty stricken specced 1er than this!!... in all honesty - DON'T spend any money on it.. just drive it and enjoy it (if you can) as you might as well be chucking your money into a bonfire! LOL!
