Performance BMW Magazine December 2018 Vorige editie

This time of year is usually pretty lean for most people as everyone is saving up their cash for Christmas and so there’s really not much left in the kitty for car shenanigans. That’s why we’ve put together a value for money mods guide in this issue. It’s not about the cheapest mods but it is about the ones that, in our opinion, represent the best value for money imaginable – and some of them are actually pretty cheap, too. From styling to suspension and wheels, we’ve done a bit of hunting and found a fine selection of mods that will seriously impress, without breaking your bank account, perfect for some budget winter modding.
For this month’s selection of cars we’ve really given you an automotive pick ’n mix, serving up a truly eclectic selection of modded BMs from around the globe and there’s something for everyone in this issue. Our cover car is an absolutely full-on 135i pushing out a frankly ridiculous 750whp from its single-turbo N54 and it is a beast built for the road but with the track kept firmly in mind. It’s an epic machine and no mistake. If that’s not quite hardcore enough then we’ve also got the legendary JUDD F1 V8-powered E36 hill climb monster, star of some of the most-watched YouTube clips in Internet history and one of the greatest track BMs of all time. We’ve also got a 440hp, 4WD 435i that’s a real all-weather weapon, a sublime S14-swapped 2002 and a seriously cool retro-styled E36 Cab as well as show reports and loads more to get your teeth into.
