340i modifications
Ok this forum is brutal! It's converted me from a 335d to placing an order for the 340i and now I'm looking at modifications already!
I already have my eyes on the mppk is there anything I should empty my wallet for?

For me
I won't get the MPPk, instead i would go for Rebellion tuning box (400+ on stock engine), they're very big in the Amg scene. EBC Yellow pads for the front, change tyre to michelin PSS4s , exhuast system and suspension mods! |

You fool!!
That's one of my reasons for buying a derv after modifying all of my last 4 petrol cars. You can't do much to a 35d. Jeez, if I had all the money I've spent on modifying cars over the years, I'd probably spend it on a car. |

Apart from power, suspension (all of it eventually), tyres, exhaust, bodykit and the list goes on....

Some of the M135i owners are getting crazy power, at a cost of course, and if i bought the 35i engine it'd probably be close to 500bhp by now. Once it all starts.... Thats why i can't by a focus RS or another Jap hot hatch, it'd likely end in divorce! |

My car hasn't arrived yet, but my list IS LONG
A priority for me will be to get the car to 400+ bhp. 1. MPPSK - ordered and will be installed on delivery of the car 2. M Perf carbon aero package - as above 3. M Perf 405M 20" alloys - as above 4. M Perf alcantara key holder - bought 5. Sonax Profoline ceramic coating for paintwork - bought 6. Deep pile car mats Currently considering (in no particular order) 1. Carbon mirror covers 2. JB+ or Dinan Sport or Rebellion piggyback - waiting to see which works best with the MPPSK 3. Light smoke 3M wrap of headlights 4. 3M aluminium frozen silver or Grigio Telesto full wrap 5. M Perf pedals 6. M Perf steering wheel (sparkly one) 7. Get rid of the RFT's once I've destroyed the rears Phew... costly business and probably not worth it!

The MPE on my 135i Coupe was the best mod that I did.

Has anyone had work done by these guys?
www.performance-centre.co.uk On a 140i they have some impressive figures from the JB4. "Over 410 bhp and over 630nm of torque!"
