All of these werde built up a little bit and my Sports Hatch will get some mods, too. Plans are already made and in 2009 I will have them done... Some shots for you. Don't expect some awesome pictures - I'm not a pro aon photography first mod: short shiftknob next mod: blackline rearlights my second BMW - minature in 1:87 new white lights... just a pic...! from behind :wink: exhaust tip blackline detailed led lights miniature in spotlight stubby antenna rotery knob from LCI tyre kit for using non-runflats My mod-list is very long and I've got a lot to do til spring 2009 :wink: - exterieur parts of m-package - roof spoiler - eibach springs - radial spoke 216 8.5x18" - shadowline exterieur - some interieur parts

Looks great, it's so interesting to see the underrepresented 1er's on here. I think the model 1er is so neat. This is also the first time I had seen that steering wheel, great color and I am sure you will enjoy. Wilkommen!

Thanks for your replies and accepting me though I don't own a high powered engine
It's the regular sports steering wheel. I will replace the silver trim with this black/chromed cover - but without multifunctions.

I like your interior. Maybe the first time ever gray cloth looks good, normally it's quite the un-sexay choise. Keep posting them pics as you add more mods. Out of interest; did you buy the car as new or used? (did you option it yourself?)
...schönes auto... :biggrin:

You're right, normally it is the unsexy choice :wink:
But all my VW had black interieur and so I searched for a car with gray seats, which is the answer to your question: I bought it used (3.5 years with 60.000km) in a great condition... Danke schön :thumbup:

I love the colour, too...!
After you've seen the next pic, you'll know why I mod the car and why I chose sparkling graphite :biggrin: It's my Dad's E92 w/ Sport Package. He said that my car would look boring compared to his Coupé - he's right :wink:

I didn't think about the environment when I bought the 116i...
In the last years I had a VW Bora (Jetta) TDI and a Golf GTI 25th Anniversary :wink:

Wenn das Auto bis dahin fertig ist, lasse ich mich vielleicht blicken :smile:

Hi Rafael,
cool to find another german user in the hatchback section! :smile: You are from Oldenburg right? I have some relatives in this are :wink: Have fun with our first BMW! :biggrin: Hope you mind asking why you joined an english-speaking BMW forum? I joined it, because i dislike the behavior in most of the german forums...

Hi Chris...!
Actually I am from Hamburg, but I moved to Oldenburg a few years ago... I really like my hatch but I'm not sure if I should mod it like I planned. Today I've been at a BMW dealer in Hamburg and fell in love with a saphirschwarz 123d coupe. Now I wonder if I let my hatch nearly stock and save my money for buying a coupe in 2 years... It's a hard decision... There are different reasons for joining an english-speaking forum. One is that I like how Americans mod their BMWs. It's mostly OEM+ which I like very much. Another reason is as you said the behavior of german forum members... "If you have just a 116 you're nothing" - that's one point of view I dislike ... Of course I join a german forum, too... :wink: Edit: I ordered the black/chrome steering wheel cover today :biggrin:

Hi Rafael,
if you like the 116i Hatch and if you satisfied with the performance, i think you should drive it, as long as you can. :wink: I did the same with my 318ti E46.. i drove the car over four years and i liked it very much. But now i wanted "a little bit" more performance... If you go for the 123d Coupe in a few years, i think you will make no wrong decision.. :smile: I drove the 123d one time it has nearly the same performance in the lower rpm area (compared to a 135i).

There's no doubt - I like my 116i.
Another interesting 1er is the 3door hatch - especially as Limited Sport Edition... We'll see what happens within the next 12 - 24 months... For sure is, that I won't mod the 116i as planned...

The next little mod:
new steering wheel cover (LCI)... It's definitely an improvement of the interieur...
