Hey peeps,
I picked up a white with black interior 2012 E82 135i M Sport MT last week and I'm loving it so far. It's got a fairly conservative spec sheet, but it's very neat and tidy and has some cool performance modifications from the previous, meticulous owner.
  • Koni springs and shocks
  • E92 M3 LSD
  • Aluminium charge pipe
  • Powerflow exhaust
She sounds great, but not droney and it's wicked fast to me. Super stoked to be part of performance car culture again, and the E82 was always on my bucket list. I come from the Honda gang, and built a pretty potent B18C swapped EK4 back in the day.

Welcome!

Was your EK4 white and did it have ITB's by any chance?

Congrats on the car, you very lucky to have the lsd fitted. I have been looking for a set of e9x m3 side shafts for so long with no luck finding a set. I have the diff but finding the rest is a problem...

Yeah, it was a bit of a deciding factor for me to be honest.
It sits wide and fat, and the 255's fitted on the back give it pretty wild look. It handles like a large kart, I haven't found a limit of traction just yet, but granted I haven't gone looking too hard!

Just get custom sideshafts made, they probably wont br more than m3 shafts considering M tax.

So had a guy that wanted to charge me r7500 per shaft. And new shafts cost r9200 each... Was hoping to find them for abit less to keep the costs down of the retrofit.
