Testimonial - E87 130i - B1 Dynamics Package (Quaife LSD, B1 sport suspension, B1 anti-roll bars) - Mr Oliver C

Date: 15/12/14

 

Hi Kevin,

 

My apologies it has taken so long to get around to writing this email.

 

Well... What can I say? Wow!

 

Purchasing the B1 pack for my 130i is arguably the best thing I could have done.

It has made small differences but in many areas. The car is so much nicer to live with and I will not be any hurry to change.

 

For me the stumbling block was certainly the cost. As someone who has regularly changed cars every few years, spending over £3k modifying a used car is not something I would normally do given my experience in the trade. But the 130i has certainly been one of the best little cars I have ever purchased, reliable, relatively inexpensive to run, fast, comfortable, and practical. So the idea of making it better tipped the balance.

 

If you had to ask me what the most significant difference was that I noticed... it would have to be the car's ability to turn in with a slight increase on the throttle. You can almost feel the diff biting in pushing the car round and the suspension soaking up the rest.

 

I have a small list of ex colleagues at Cotswold that are lining up for a drive when it is next in for service, you never know there may be some referrals!

 

Many thanks to yourself and James for taking the time on the phone explaining the changes and reassuring me that the cost would be worth it, I'm utterly delighted with the result.

 

I'm sure we'll talk again soon, but otherwise have a great Christmas!

 

Best regards

Oliver
