Hi All
Picked up a 2012 E89 20i Msport in Alpine White with Black Leather last week. Going through a jobs list to make it tip-top ready for the summer and all kinds of road trips. Did the NC500 between Christmas and New Year which served as the inspiration to find a tidy roadster. Posted a few bits already about the jobs done and to do and I’ll post some photos when the weather permits as the wheel refurb is worth a look. My expectations have been well exceeded. Once it has earned my full confidence mechanically, I may look at a tune to give a bit more power. Doesn’t need much but another 50 hp would transform the driving experience I suspect. Dampers and brakes may also appear on the upgrade path in due course. I know we have some brake experts on here so I may start a conversation at the appropriate time.
Anyway, I’m sure most of the things that I’ve done and the items on the to-do list have all already been covered but it’s nice to see how others have approached things. Hope I can help as much as being helped.
