Found them this morning...it was a 120i

i think it is a little bit too much spoiler on the front...but it could be that it is just the color that i don´t really like. perhaps it looks better in black or at least a dark grey?

The wheels are 20" and take rubbers in 225/30...not bad for a small car [hihi] but the real deal is the work they did on the engine:

supercharged 225 ponies (was 175) and 273Nm / 202lb/ft (was 200Nm / 148lb/ft) are now coming out of the exhaust pipe! imagine what they do could do to the 130i [burnout]

too much front spoiler is right, i like the car, but am not a huge fan of the taillights.... does that make me a ricer?
I have the exact opposite opinion of the front spoiler and taillights. I like them. I am sure there could be changes made that I would like more, but the way it is now I think it looks hot. I wonder what the gas mileage would be with these mods. If it gets great gas mileage it would be the commuter car from heaven...

Eagerly awaiting the 1 series.. The front bumper looks a little busy, but overall the new kit follows the existing 'flame' bodylines that it comes with nicely.

How much do those weight again? That little 120i is putting out high end 3 series power, there's got to at least be a few hundred lbs difference? That thing must absolutely SCOOT. Imagine it with a high end suspension, and lightweight wheels (not huge 20's, as good as they look and all).

i believe that if the 1 hits the market as good as the mini did, they might reconsider their position. the US are the 2nd biggest market for the mini, i think no one expected that. so why not the 1?

I like the over-stated front end...if they toned it down it would look like every other hot-hatch out there.....definitely nice....if i had to go from 5 to 1 then that or the upcomming 1M would be it.....
