You can use a heat gun tbh. That's how I used to do the old the E46 facelift coupe ones. Just takes a bit longer that's all.

Cheers. I will be. I have an addiction so can't stop even if I tried LOL.

Just bought a set of Rainbow SLC210.25NG's to swap out from the Gladens

Even the stuff I've modded I can't leave alone

Thanks. She's certainly keeps changing constantly lol.

Yeah saw that. I'd personally not swap out to an RRS. Too problematic. And no fun.

Na i was looking at a RR not sport, but yeah your right either way. Still not decided tho

Hi Raj,
Tried copying your M3 cowl install to get rid of the heavy standard unit, do you have the part number for the cable ducting? Can't seem to find it on realoem.com

Thanks
Adam

Hi Adam.

Yeah no problem I'll dig it out.
It was under the engine electrical I'm sure but just checked realoem and it's not highlighting it.

Will check shortly and get it for you.

Hi again Adam.

Here you go:

12527838732 and 12527838733

They come under the Engine Electrical hence not on that diagram you linked.

748adam · 03-15-2017, 05:52 PM

Thanks raj,
Really improves the engine bay, did you have to lengthen the wires for the bonnet sensor and the other one on the left?

No problem.

The bonnet one didn't need extending and just use some washers to raise it up to correct height. Pretty much sits in the same position.
The other one does need extending for it to fit in the correct position in the new cowling.

Thanks raj, much appreciated

So it's been a while since I added to this.

I decided to trial some fixed camber plates with the OE top mounts and remov the Vorshlag adjustable plates I had.

Once on I needed to get the alignment done.

Decided to get mine and Tinsta's cars booked in with Matt@Spires for full corner weighting and alignment.

Achieved pretty much bang on 50/50 diagonal axis weight distribution which is excellent to know it's been setup properly now.

Final camber figures achieved for the fronts:

-1.8degrees both fronts.

Am very pleased with that from the plates and the M3 LCA's.

So a breeze to fit and good additional camber achieved. Sorted.

The eagle eyed will have noticed another little mod added.

I bought a splitter/lip from Schmiedmann in December and it's been sat in the garage ever since. Then a coupe of weeks ago a splitter came up on FB which I just had to have.

Now it is used and needs a little tlc:

It's a full Vorsteiner splitter with complete undertray built in.

After we were finished with Matt we took a few pics (oh and put the summer Rays back on too):

Thanks,

Raj.

CI-R's on the 1M?

What's his specs, they look to be very concave!!

CitizenKane · 04-09-2017, 03:23 PM

I noticed the spoiler!

Looks amazing. I shudder to think how much one would cost new though...

Hard to miss isn't it LOL.

£1200 brand new

Tinsta · 04-09-2017, 04:07 PM

Excellent, cheers for the pics Raj

Do like the new splitter, gives a meany look to the front now

After yesterdays antics, setup now feels great, alot more pointy and nimble and responsive.. tad lighter steering feel too.

No worries.

Glad we both got the beasts sorted.

Agreed feels so much better now.

Pics came out well.

Need to do a proper little photo shoot soon though.
See ya Friday

Thought they may be FI's but I couldnt tell, look very very similar to the CI-R, I know the FI-R are much easier to make out as they have the awesome little cut outs in the spokes!

They look awesome on the 1er, is it a proper 1M, or a self build?

Thanks, its my car, yep FI's in 18s quite a wide setup, 9.5/10.5. Selfbuild trackday project. All genuine 1M parts, with alot of carbon too, complete bonnet/roof/bootlid/splitter/diffuser/sideskirts, bmw perf wheel/seats, kw's/akra/alcons and all the engine bits.

As with most things, one thing lead to another, after fitting bigger ER oil coolers, needed wider arches/bumper. I wanted a better exhaust, which was light, so titanium was the option - did have a lightweight titanauspuffanlage for a while, very very light, but too loud for tracks!

Hence, battery tray etc lead to an off the shelf 1M exhaust, then rear bumper, so it made sense to go the whole hogg and use 1M parts, but stay focused for the track.

Hence I don't call it a 1M (although it has pretty much all the same bits, inc rear subframe/m3 dct diff etc), after alot of time, effort and money, prefer to label it a 1CSL

Rather not hijack Raj's thread..
