      @@CalvinsCarDiary Bimmertech do a kit I believe as do Kies Motorsport (CZcams)... One cool upgrade you could also do, if you've got the Harmon Kardon speakers is to upgrade the amplifier which is in the boot. Bimmertech do a straight swap that transforms the audio with no other changes! :)

      Samuel Holden how much is the cost of this as my next car is either a M135i or M140i ? I currently have daily drove woth it in but couldn’t use the 3 litre as every day car as I do anywhere between 500 1000 miles a week

  • @ALL.TYPE.NO.FACE1

    I couldn’t help but notice when the new wheel was been fitted that the media screen is so small! You need to retrofit/upgrade that for sure Calvin..

  • @badgerking8511
    @badgerking8511 Před 3 lety +1

    Does the steering wheel not need coding or anything? I have the same car/steering wheel and want to upgrade. did you have any issues at all?

  • @jakestechtravels4864
    @jakestechtravels4864 Před 2 měsíci

    Love the car but I will say..... at 12:33 you complain about a car at over 50k miles..... dude these cars go for 250k miles plus... you hardly broke it in. Anyone watching out on here.... just make sure it had good FSH and you're good to go. I am rocking a 2010 1 series E87 at 109k miles. She is getting the treatment to keep it going for another few years. Good luck my dude!

    A friend of my dad lives in Belgium and often drives to London or even further in the UK, and the side of the steering wheel was always a problem. Hope he'll find a solution like this one.

    @Tight--LiNeZ Před 5 měsíci

    Hi Calvin. I just got an 2014 BMW m135i because of your channel, instead of a Golf R. I want to do the exact same thing to my pre-facelift wheel. I was wondering if you could help me a bit. So I need to get the post facelift LCI wheel first, yeah? Cos I need the switch gear, horn & airbag yeah? Any info would be great thanks Calvin. Love your work. Have subscribed & liked every vid I watch. Cheers from NZ

  • @kingspeechpodcast
    @kingspeechpodcast Před 2 lety +1

    Car looks amazing! Which company/garage did you use to install the new steering wheel?
    Also where did you buy your new steering wheel?

  • @fatwalletboy2
    @fatwalletboy2 Před 4 lety +1

    Does make a big difference but the tiny 2 clock binnacle just reminds me of those similar clusters you got in some original BL Minis like the clubmans 😂

    Stunning job Calvin. She looks superb.

  • @lukamilic
    @lukamilic Před rokem

    Doing the same thing with my Alfa Romeo Mito TB...
    Love the little hothatch but that fat, godawful looking stock steering wheel is annoying the life out of me.
    Last summer, I purchased a stock wheel from the 159, which in my opinion still looks modern to this day. Got all the parts for the wheel and gonna get it fully restored to replace the original wheel...
    I do agree that steering wheels are important.

  • @MrMikkiFunk
    @MrMikkiFunk Před 4 lety

    Haven't got an M135i, would love a facelift one but they seem to be holding their value still 2nd hand, bit out of my budget, even the 1st gen ones but I'm not too keen on the looks. Defo gonna get a steering wheel retrim on the 8P S3 early next year-bit more within my budget at the moment haha (and I love the look of them). Such a nice steering wheel though mate, love the stitching. They did a great job of 'ironing out the kinks' in the body work, lovely paintjob on it now.

    Decent video. I’d not thought of a facelift alcantara wheel only a pre facelift one, might do that to mine. I’m running a 6 speed manual car, estoril blue with pro nav. Love it.

  • @TheRssandhu
    @TheRssandhu Před 4 lety +1
