1M/// the car I have been working on.

[e304me]

wow at the roll bar....i think its safe to say it was designed with only looks in mind

[mikeedler]

I dont think its worth the money. If HPF ever comes out with a kit for the 135 i will be buying one and putting the kit on and that will be the new daily!

You could do the same with a 325i E30 back in the day too, in the end, it's not an M3 even if it outperforms it.

That front bumper looks menacing! I think 8-10mm spacers on the front would be just right!

HAHA.......... these are the WINTER WHEELS believe it or not. There is a set of ADV.1 19x10, 19x11,5s siting in the garage for next summer. going to be bronze centers on em with the smoked chrome lips

I gotta say this is one of the sexiest 1's ive ever seen i cant stop staring at that pics above^ hey OP if this is ana american soldier would this pic happen to be anywhere near k-town?

I am in Bamberg, the car is going to Stuttgart in Jan.

Lol they can easily... Your friends were broke as a result of their own mismanagement no offense just what I've seen. Right after basic kids go to the jewel shop and buy 1k watches.. get to tech school get bored and buy a big tv with a ps3 or xbox and some games.. they go out every week ha and get frivolous with their money. Granted its not a lot of money being made but within 3 years this could easily be purchased by a meticulous saver...and thats as an E-3.Entry level Officer can easily afford within 1-2 year(o-1).

Sick car ... I actually like it a lot.. not so much the styling (BMW's fault) BUT I do like the concept(the whole 1 series).

He is a Special Forces Captain (O-3) who is away on "missions" all the time, so collecting up a lot of extra change for that as well s being in Afganistan for a few years.


I am totally in love with the 1M It is honestly the only other M I would think about getting rid of my E30 M3 for. the E92 is great, just to big. The lines of this thing ae so much better in person vs. pictures.

the first thing you said is very very true and that never even crossed my mind.

stuttgart is im not mistaken is where my step dad works now. I used to live right outside all those bases in a small German town and i rented from a guy over there it was beautiful and i will do everything i can to go back one day.

03- and special forces ya hes got enough for the car lol especially if he saves his deployment money

i had a dream about this car lasdtnight lol

Bump for the best non-e30 thread of the year!

parts just seem to show up at my doorstep weekly, this was orig. only supposed to be "hey mike, do you think you can throw some H&R springs on my car?"
I unfortunately replied, I can do anything you want............

porn. haven't drooled over a 'new-ish' car build in some time..

This.

[89is]

wow, such a beautiful car and build, oh and beautiful e30 m3 mate, subd!

[Jean]

Nice/clean job OP! I like the color too, the M3's could be ordered like that though right? I know this particular one is a wrap though.

Nice look on the car with some good size tires too, love it!

was thinking about getting one but nothing beats the e30 M3, looks so much better.

LOL

[Cliche Guevara]

Ever since they first announced the 1M and its rather limited build run I've had a strong feeling that it will be a future classic. I'm definitely stricken by the car straight out of the factory, but seeing the work you've done to it almost too much for me to handle. Absolutely incredible. From the way it sounds, this guy really deserves it.

[Thizzelle]

it needs a spoiler to finish it off, looks like something is missing

[mikeedler]

LOL

yeah, frozen grey is avail. for the M3 and M6 (we sold a competition model M6 last year)

the only colors avail. for the 1M are Sapphire Black, Alpine White, and Valencia Orange.


this one's original color is black.






thanks alot for the compliments on my E30.

I mounted Bridgestone 19" snow tires on the stock wheels yesterday, and aligned it on our KDS II- added a bit of extra neg. camber for fun.

Wed. the car is receiving tinted tails, and the front amber markers are going to be tinted to boot. Center section is still not finished (shop is taking their time on that.)

the rear spoiler is already ordered from what I heard, going to be that big azz thing from the MotoGP pacecar.


glad you guys enjoy the build pics, I was kinda hesitant at first about posting it here in fear of hate mail.

[M-technik-3]

At the speeds the safety will be driving it can be utilized. If his car is driven on das Ring or a few months on the Autobahn then it works. You can always remove a spoiler.

[mikeedler]

Here are a few more not so good pics of what the car looks like today. It is supposed to be picked up by the owner and will then get a real photo session.


I have now removed the midpipe cats and resonator and it has straight pipes from front to rear- NO ANYTHING in the exhaust system, and yes, it is unbelievably loud!

the tails as well as sidemarkers and front signals were all tinted, and the wheels now have an orange stripe to break up the grey a little bit.

[J308]

It's pretty sweet, but I'm in the "these things are way overpriced" crowd.

Good build regardless.

[5Toes]

Need exhaust video now!!!

[Mr. Tasty]

love that new orange "time attack" on the rims. Sexs
