135i build thread. I'm done hobcobbling posts together

Yup, I need to confirm INPA works with my MBP through bootcamp on windows 10. The jb4 app always gave me trouble for whatever reason. The coding is relatively straight forward.
Setting up INPA was the biggest pita of the whole process for me. Once I got it working then it was a breeze to code them.

Otherwise i have a working inpa system on my laptop

Any tips or good tutorials to follow?
I've seen some, but some say INPA works on 32bit only, granted that was from 2012. I've got windows 10 64bit on my laptop.
Were you on 64bit windows?

I've made a few adjustments to my plans.
I returned the rear subframe bushings and am planning to just move forward with the coilovers, front swaybar, and control arms. Not having to remove the subframe to do RSFBs will allow me to install the aforementioned parts on the floor in my garage and save a couple bucks. I think I'm going to leave the suspension at that and not take it further. I worry that I will fall into a black hole of track-prepping a car that is the wrong engine and chassis to begin with. As we start talking about additional suspension in the rear, solid bushings, a race seat and harness, and the list goes on - it adds up to an amount of money that I would rather just not spend.
The coilovers will allow me to get rid of my janky unbalanced H&R sport springs, and stabilize the car a bit more for track days and I'll continue to use it as my track car for the 2016 season. That should be good enough and is appropriate for the car, I think. I'll probably be on the lookout for some sort of truck/trailer/track-prepped e36 m3 package further down the road.
I found out my bonus on Friday and once that gets deposited at the end of the month, I can safely say that I will be ordering my Pure stage 2 turbo that i've been fiending over for the past 9 months. More to come on that hopefully in early 2016.

Sounds like you got a well deserved bonus. Time to enjoy the fruits of your hard work!
too bad 14k of it is going to taxes to fund social benefits to lazy people who don't work that take advantage of systems designed to help unfortunate people who want to work / get back on their feet!
had to get that in there. Yes, I'm bitter.

well, bad news is I decided to sell all the suspension parts I got. So I recouped my 2800 bucks. Because I will not be tracking my 135i ever again.
The Good news is.......shipping out at the end of January
Kummrow quoted me about $1300 to install (thanks Andy) but I don't really want to spend that so it's gonna happen in my garage, in the middle of February. I'm banking on El Nino to help me out with garage temps.

Does that mean you no longer plan to track any car or did you make a purchase on a track ready vehicle?
you may notice something gray tucked in the corner of my garage near my BMW with a hardtop, rollbar, racing seats, and so on.......it may also have a turbocharger, i don't know, i'm not an engineer

This makes me happy. While I'm sure your 135 was a blast on the track, I'm sure it would be more painful to write off (and sad) than an NA that you could replace in a heartbeat.

that is absolutely the logic behind it. Well, that and it makes tracking WAY more affordable for me. Not having to drop $300 per event for insurance frees up enough money that I can do more events. I eventually want to instruct so I need as much seat time as I can. Consumables are cheaper and so much less wear and tear with how light the car is.
also not having to compromise the ride quality of the BMW and being able to just now focus on straight-line power for the 135i where it shines, and for the money I could sink into it, it still wouldn't be as fast around the track as the Miata.

As I said on 1Addicts, congrats on your purchase. I miss my '96 turbo Miata. That was the car that really switched my mindset from form to function. It was also the car that really got me into cars. I'd love to buy another one someday.

As I said on blackpeoplemeet.com, I really dig that color.
