난이도 & 준비물

증상

Seems like a good time to make a thread on this seeing as I've owned it over 3 weeks and have already managed to put something like 1300 miles on it- despite my justification for buying a 4.0 V8 being that my personal mileage was likely to decrease... After 4 very happy and enjoyable years with an E82 125i Coupe I was starting to properly get the bug to move on to something else. I'd had a great time with that car but had got everything I wanted out of owning it (including a very fun trip over to the Nurburgring), and was struggling to see the value for money in putting any more money into it

Sofa said: Thanks all! Sounds like white is a popular colour for these (and reflected in the sales figures too seemingly!)- I'm not normally one for white cars but these do just look right in Mineral White, and seeing your thread @iacabu and how good yours looks on the 359's definitely helped me with that decision. I'd definitely be lying if I said I slept well the night before collecting it (partly excitement, partly apprehension), but I had a good feeling about it and just had to take the plunge. Certainly to someone not into cars it was pretty mental- in a very bizarre coincidence my next door neighbour was one of the stewardesses on my flight to Glasgow and asked me what I was heading up there for- she looked at me like I had two heads when I told her I was going to look at a car. To answer a couple of points: It's on the original dampers (EDC)- I'm actually really impressed by the ride, it rides way more comfortably than my old 125i which I put a Bilstein B12 kit (B8 dampers, Eibach Pro Springs) on about 10k before I sold it and feels much more composed on nasty roads too, although if 'pressing on' one click of the EDC button to firm things up is definitely needed. I think the dampers are pretty healthy still, as my understanding is as they wear they self-compensate by getting firmer and firmer until you're effectively in the 'Sport Plus' mode all the time- whereas there's a noticeable difference going through the suspension modes on mine. Both rear calipers have been refurbished by the previous owner, so hopefully won't have to deal with that myself! The FreakyParts Brembo front calipers are what I'm currently tempted by, as they do seem like a decent value kit, although I may just go for pads and lines as suggested to start with (although my man maths says to just spend the money upfront, rather than potentially spending twice ). Anything fancier will definitely be a waste of money as I'm not really planning on tracking the car outside of a few pretty ge
