INSTALLING THE BEST MODS ON MY BMW 1 SERIES SO FAR!

[@southsideslondon]

Thanks for the uploads, I'm new to the bmw ownership

[@andynaylor1234]

After watching this video I went away and bought a pair of Emerald Struts for my 120d and they're amazing. My Mrs uses the car as a mobile care worker and being able to pop open the boot from the key instead of fumbling with hands full of PPE has made life so much easier.

[@jamiesumner8311]

Can u tell me if the boot closes normally with the new struts or does it need a bit more force to close. Atm my stock 118i boot can be dropped pretty low just because of how heavy it is

[@andynaylor1234]

@@jamiesumner8311 The boot does take a little extra force to close over the stock struts, but its still easily doable one handed.

[@jamiesumner8311]

@@andynaylor1234 okay, thank you for quick reply, overall would u recommend? I had a look earlier and they are about £80, do you think it’s worth it

[@andynaylor1234]

@@jamiesumner8311 in all honesty, for me yes it was worth it. Being able to open the boot from the key as you approach the car, or are sat inside it just makes life so much easier. When the wife used the car for work she could open the boot to get her PPE even if she was carrying something. Any time we did shopping we could pop the boot as we approached and then simply put the bags in without having to put things down then pick them up again. Now its become a bit of a project car and we have a custom audio setup in the boot with amplifiers, subwoofers, additional speakers and lighting. Having the boot open to reveal the set up instead of having to manually release and lift the door just looks so much better. Its not just aesthetically pleasing, its practical as well.

[@mac3490]

Your videos are really good. Definitely do buy the BMW under-door lights, they look awesome in the dark. I have them on my 2008 E90 330i SE. Only cost around £10.

[@BrettBarnesYT]

Yeah I would do but I’ve not got that package on my car! I would definitely do that if I did

[@mac3490]

Brett Barnes I think there’s a little misunderstanding, what I mean are door lights underneath the car doors (the ones that come on automatically after dark), if you do a search of ‘BMW door illuminator lights’ they should come up. All the best!

[@BrettBarnesYT]

Yeah I know mate mine doesn’t come with that! It’s an optional extra lighting package. I don’t have any lights at the bottom at all

[@B58CQ]

@@BrettBarnesYT you don't need the package, you buy them and out them on your car door yourself. They look tacky anyway imo

Are slinkmods still around ?

Is the boot harder to close now? And is it now too hard to close it without using too much force or does it still feel like a normal boot

[@BrettBarnesYT]

Well I noticed the difference but I got My dad to try it and it’s as stiff has his Hyundai Tucson so I’d say it’s normal yeah

Surely the boot doesn't release until you press the catch IE the BMW badge, also mine is under the lip of the boot.

You can modify your existing struts for less than £10 to do exactly the same thing mate. Search it on KZbin. You just buy the springs and some sink washers to stop them moving on the struts and its a 5 minute job

Hey Brett, quick question. When using those Aftermarket Pedals, u lose a bit of way in the gas pedal. This does not happen with the Originalparts because they use screws and not this kind of lip on the pedal to hook on. I wonder if i should get the Original ones or the aftermarket ones. Did u notice any difference when pushing full throttle with the pedal on ?

I fitted mine without taking the glass out both on my MK7 Golf R and My F21 120d, all I used was 2 flat head screwdrivers to pop open the clips. You was going about it the entirely wrong way, should have made the gap bigger by operating the mirror to look all the way down and then just pop open the clips.

[@BrettBarnesYT]

Yeah mate I did put the mirror completely down so the gap was big. I also have to take the glass off to access the screws behind. I have the middle variant in between a change of mirrors so yours is probably different
