A change of work location means a commute with too many speed bumps and an office car park that is best suited to an SUV stance than an m135i on H&R sport springs. Shame, as the car rode and handled superbly.

Not a fan of the standard m135i alloys so opted for a set of f3x style 397s painted ferric grey. More aggressive offset means no need for spacers.

Birds springs work very well with birds ARBs, qualifies LSD and m4 LCAs. Car is a DD, dads taxi and occasional track day. Ticks the boxes.....
