As some of you may know, the car I owned previous to the FiSt was a 135i which had a couple bolt-ons and the Cobb AP. I never had it dynoed, but most members saw power around 320@ the wheels with an aggressive tune, which is about 380hp at the crank. Definitely was a VERY ballsy car and would pull like a freight train. Which was perfect, because my background has been mostly Supras and other high-hp cars. The only issue I ever had with it was it is not good on gas(I drive 60 miles a day in shitty CA traffic) and the maintenance bill can get out of control if you dont have a warranty (oh, the nightmares I've had).
Upon purchasing my FiST, I originally intended to keep the 135, but upon coming to my senses, it would be impractical for me to have two cars (we don't have a garage at our complex and street parking the bimmer never felt safe to me). So, I decided it would be in my best interest to sell the 1 and lightly mod the FiST while saving up for something else (which will most likely be a Gallardo/GTR/or something super-lightweight with an LSx).
Anyway, plans right now are to make the car a fun little canyon carver. The suspension seems to be more than up to the task at the moment, but the power and soundtrack could definitely be better. Once a few things have been done, I will evaluate what else the car needs and go from there.
Parts on order thus far:
Rear Motor-Mount (RMM)
Cobb AP
Will update with pics and details.
