Sweet looking Blackwing! Congrats! And a manual at that. Those have to be pretty rare.

Sorry Lynyrd, I was definitely replying to Curr's post. Sorry to highjack your thread. You would have to check with BMR to see if its strut bar would fit your car. I have no idea about the OEM bar...

It's definitely a nice piece. I installed one on my ZL1 a few weeks ago.

As someone who came from a manual SS 1LE to a manual ZL1 I couldn't agree more with Curr's comments above. :thumbup:

The ZL1 is basically a SS 1LE on steroids, with slightly more weight on the...

Thanks! The color is Le Mans Blue. It was a fun little car. As I said earlier, once reason I kept is so long. The turbo 1 series cars were an under rated performance bargain. Especially since...

It would have been. Unfortunately, I sold my 135i in late 2021 when I purchased my SS 1LE. The 1 series M is basically a part's bin car. It's mostly still 1 series parts with a healthy sprinkling...

Interesting comparison Mike. Definitely two very different cars. I don't have any first hand experience with the CTS-V, but I kind of do with the 1.

I owned a 2009 135i for about 10 years. I...

Not disagreeing with you. Certainly the Rotofab flows air and probably alot more so with a modified car. However, I still have concerns about heatsoak with intakes that aren't completely sealed. ...

I agree. After watching the video when it first came out a couple of weeks ago I came to the same conclusion. Unless you have extensive mods, an aftermarket lid makes very little power. The stock...

I agree with you. A dyno with an open hood and a fan blowing isn't real world driving. In looking at intake options I noticed at least one intake manufacturer stated they did dyno runs with the...

As I understand it, the reason for the steel sound plate is to reduce the supercharger whine in the cabin. It's that simple. I suppose the engineers felt like ZL1 owners wanted more refinement. ...

The Darkhorse is way overpriced for what it is, especially if you go with the track package. I'd rather have a ZL1 or a Corvette. As the article stated, the Darkhorse isn't much faster than the GT,...

Or it could have been a ZLE clone. I've seen several ZL1s with ZLE style rear wings that at first glance appear to be ZLEs, but aren't.

That's another reason I prefer the ACS Composite molded rock guards. I've had them on both my 1LE and now my ZL1. Not sure about the Rockblokz on a ZL1.
