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

[Thizzelle]

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

[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.

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

[89is]

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

[wannaBMthree]

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.

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.



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



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

[getouth]

^ well said.....PO1 USN!

[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!

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

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?

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).

[e304me]

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

[RondoAcapriccio]

Is this a US Soldier?
Not knocking our armed services, but how the hell does a soldier afford this car, let alone all of the modifications? All the friends I had in the Marines and Air Force barely made money at all.

Car is sick as hell though. Nice work.

I get it, I was kinda poking fun with the last comment. It's just that I have seen many arguments about how you can build a better performing 135 for less than the cost of a 1M. You probably can but, you can't convert one for less than the cost of a 1M, it has been tried.

oh true true. i guess it all depends on how cheap you can get the 135. i love them both i just can seem to get myself to the price tag the bought. i means its an amazing peice of machinery but 15k more and you have a lightly used gtr. idk lol glad theres no hard feelings.

[325ix]

lol im sorry i didnt not mean to come off that way at all i just read that and made myself sound like a prick smh. you never called me one that just all came out wrong over the internet lol my bad bro

im not a retrd this im aware of but the price i can buy a used 135 and put a shit load of after markets parts that are better then the stock 1m parts and still not pay as much as a 1m. thats crazy talk. granted if i had the money laying around it would be a diferent story
