I heart DINAN, I haven't had any problems with my DINAN mods, and DINAN matches the BMW warranty. not pushing anything

I guess because BMW's aren't meant for Drag Racing.

lol ^ good one

theres not a lot of activity (BMW specific) and there are already strong local German car forums. if the traffic in other blew up all being BMW specific I'm sure the admins would strongly think about adding a BMW specific section.

tobibeck80 - I'm pretty sure he can get darn near every German part now, i haven't seen that steering wheel though sounds pretty slick, any info on it (BMW part number if its a factory toy lol)?

I can ask my brother if he can find out the part number, he is a BMW Service technician.

and yes its a genuine BMW part, I'm definitely know that you can order it for the E92 and 1 series coupe, but I'm not sure if it can be ordered as an option for the 1 series hatch and convertible and the other 3's like the E90, E91 and E93.

For all those cars you can order most of the other BMW Performance stuff though like carbon fiber strut bars (900 euros), brake system, exhausts, suede leather carbon seats (2500 euro each), carbon fiber covers, diffusors, short shift systems and so on....the list is huge.

special bodykit with carbon flaps and spoilers, brake air vents in the sideskirts for the rear brakes......

Check this dude out, he bought a fully loaded 135 coupe with everything the catalogue has to offer, except that carbon fiber front strut bar! you can see that steering wheel as well, suede, the setting buttons are covered beneath the suede leather

135i QP - BMW Performance -> für Carbon-Liebhaber [ 1er BMW - E81 / E82 / E87 / E88 ] - www.BMW-Syndikat.de [Fotos - Bilder - Stories]

thats the best pic I could found of that strut bar

totaly awesome, you can also buy those stickers @ BMW

they started with this program after showing the 135 tii concept car, which looked pretty much the same as that 135 in that photostory up there

you know I've been here since day 1 many years ago and I don't know why there isn't a BMW tech. So I'm adding it
