why do u choose to go with RB Turbos? do they have any numbers yet? customer cars running?

I know were doing a pre-order but haven't followed up on it.

Yeah I'm still here, just as excited as ever to read the news. I still have the car, its completely parted out but its for sale. I haven't really advertised it yet. Still waiting on stock midpipes before I go do that.

RB Turbos are the best bang for the buck + wg fix and yes they have a customer car up and running. LostMarine pushing 500+ wheel with more to go.

Regarding the list. The list is focused on power and straight line speed. For me this has the lowest priority. For me handling first, then cooling, then additional power. Power doesn't bring me anything on a curvy road.

So I would start with:
1. Suspension (M3 parts / KW V3 / ARB)
2. Tires (non-runflat for street, track tires for the track)
3. LSD
4. FMIC
5. Oil cooler (additional or Setrab replacing standard cooler)
6. Exhaust (even if it is for the sound only)
7. Seats (recaro / BMW Performance)
8. power tunes if needed

As long as you do not intend to really start playing with tunes, why would you start with a boost gauge...

What would you recommend for a suspension for those of us in god awful cold and dirty Canada? My last coil set seized when rocks found their way in the threads...

I was thinking H&R Sport, but I don't like the rake...eibach?!? I have a 135i...
