Seems that your 1M has a German twin brother (with some 'special' livery):

Ohh boy I wish I could! Police is all over this and trust me you do not want to deal with Mexican 'po po lol

Gracias!

It's 3M 1080 Scotch print Grey aluminum matte, the code is 1080-M230, so far wrapping has made a good impression on me, let's talk again after 15 washes!

Get your hands on the 'fun package' to let this car shine its true colors (soundwise): Akrapovič Slip-On Exhaust (axle back) + Akrapovič wireless remote + BMW N55 mid pipe (please note that my opinion on this is biased ).

As you might have read, Akrapovič has ended the production of the 1M exhaust. So if you want a new one, don't wait too long to get it.

Exhaust tips: as you got the choice between Carbon Fibre and Titanium tips, get the CF because the Titanium tips start 'bronzing' fairly quickly and irreversibly due to exhaust fumes heat (http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=903660" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://<a href="http://www.1addicts....p?t=903660</a>).
Artemis thanks for the advice, it's well known that slip on and evo prices are far far away from each other so this option it's really a no brainer, what's your thoughts on maddads mid's ?

my friend calls me every second day begging for his 1M back! lol

From what I read, Maddad mids are more gutturally/raspier sounding than N55 mids. Beware of not getting a headache with Maddad mids due to 'drone' sounds during long trips. Personally I'm fine with my N55 mids - your BMW dealer can easily get this part for you (BMW OEM part# 18307599743).

Some info on mids:
