But we all see the real production car at the last part of the video & our description are all true. The headlight had some fancy things & the side mirrors are very attractive & most importantly...foldible

The car isn't publicly revealed for a while longer. But it does look very, very good in the metal undisguised.

The more fast and furious among you may think they could have made it more cartoonish but for me they judged the mods well - they add lots of attitude whilst retaining a tasteful overall effect. It does look like a proper M-car. The stance is spot-on and the flared arches add real muscle to the side sill line that improves the standard shape no end.

Watch the video closely for hints. The black car with the chromeline window trim is one of the original test prototypes whereas the other black one and the white car were both pretty-much production spec under the disguise. The mirrors and lights (front and rear) are all disguised for a reason - ie they are noticeably different.

Driving back from the airport yesterday in my own 135i highlighted just how much more focussed, responsive and special the 1M feels. The throttle response, especially with the M button armed, is much improved.

I really want to know the on off throttle actions. How does it compare to a NA M car.

Hmm... I wonder what a slightly used M3 sedan will go for in the summer of 2011...

Sounds and looks like you had a great time!

Looking forward to more details.

Are you still under non-disclosure or embargoed?

Cheers,

Mark.

The sauber edition has all the goodies from the performance package in the interior, that is all the carbon dash door and mirrors plus performance steering wheel.

the rims are darker too.

plus the boot lid carbon wing.

I have not made any pictures of my car but will do so as you requested them.

regards
Adam
