My tip would be to post in the 1 Series threads.

My tip would be to sell the 128 and get an N54 135 and mod that instead

My tip would be to sell your N54 135 after you take nicknaz's tip (of course) and get a M240i and mod that (first mod, delete the M in front of the 240i).

My tip would be to take all the tips together.

Who? · 05-20-2016, 12:08 AM

my tip would be to get a prius and save the world

My tip is to look out for the witty tips found here.

My.tip would be to take the tippiest tip and tip it overboard.

HawaiianVibes · 05-20-2016, 01:45 AM

My Tip would be to realize you threw your tip overboard, and still need that tip to mod your 128i,135i,M240i

eluded · 05-20-2016, 02:01 AM

i would go twin turbo.

SleevedCoyote · 05-20-2016, 02:43 AM

My tip would be to put superchargers on your bicycle

Billfitz · 05-20-2016, 07:27 AM

Is the the Honda Civic forum? Civic owners do that sort of mod because they have to. For that $4500 you could just upgrade your car to a BMW model that gives the performance you want, like a 135i, and in a newer model year.

lemonchicken · 05-20-2016, 10:52 PM

She said just the tip.

Some tips for when you supercharge ?

Have another car, so when this one breaks you have something you can rely on.

Install a boost gauge

have extra funds for unforecasted maintenance items such as: blown motor, transmission that blows up, differential that grenades, minor head work, etc.

As I suggested earlier, I would go TwinTurbo or maybe go with 150 shot of nitrous or sell the car and get a 2005-06 FGT (and then upgrade to 4l Whipple or TwinTurbo set up)

Vitoco · 05-21-2016, 03:45 AM

The thread is seriously over the tip.

WHL102 · 05-21-2016, 03:16 PM

Do you want just the tip or the whole 2 inches?
