    Car is sick as hell though. Nice work.
    miltary discounts and saving money. u live and eat for free if u save money and dont spend it all on pizza rolls and beer like 99% of all young soldiers ull have plenty of money. not to mention it has not been stated how old this guy is, what is rank it what brtanch and so on. i knows guys that make more money then my hwole household and they get all the discounts and shit that everyone else. so dont knock us baby!!!!

        I am not too impressed with the 1M, but the way this car is being done is really fancying me. Good job man, wish I had those skills.

          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!

            The 1M has the suspension, brakes and body to fit bigger tires as well, there is more to it than the engine.

              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

                            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.

                                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).
