1M at 2011 Chicago Autoshow. First shots of full undercarriage.
BIMMERPOST NEWS 1M Coupe from the 2011 Chicago Autoshow The valencia orange 1M coupe continues to make its rounds at the U.S. autoshows, this time on display at the 2011 Chicago Autoshow which kicked off yesterday. Although the valencia orange 1M has already been photographed often, these are the first photos showing the 1M coupe's full undercarriage (by use of a full length under-mirror). One thing revealed by the photos (as stated later in this thread) is that the shocks on the 1M are those from the M3 sedan with competition package. Enjoy!

Ha! The man finally got his picture of the shock label!
Great pictures! This is exactly what it looks like in real life. The lighting in Detroit was all wrong.

Ran a part cross-reference, and confirmed my suspicion:
Part 33522284312 (Shock absorber, rear) was found on the following E90N vehicles: E90N M3 Sedan, S65 (PM93) : REAR SPRING STRUT MOUNTING PARTS First evidence that the 'developed for 1M' in most instances will mean: M-power engineering confirmed that an existing part works just fine on the 1M as well. Nothing wrong with that of course. Last edited by eeghie; 02-10-2011 at 01:31 PM.. |

from the resonator back, the exhausting piping diameter looks quite large!!! and there are no goody bends/crush in the pipe compared to a 135i.

I'm really glad to hear that. With that short time of development there were only two things possible: Take existing M-parts or take parts from the existing 135i. So taking existing M-parts is a great choice in my eyes!

The 1-series M coupe does not share the rear damper with the 135i so the part# would be completely different. Since it is lighter than the M3, damper valving is likely to be different thus a new part number.

Absolutely, it's huge! I think cutting it off on the end and throw the muffler away would make a great sound

01 Shock absorber, rear 33522284015 S7MAA=Yes 01 Shock absorber, rear 33522284312 I'm assuming the S7MAA=Yes version represents competition package with EDC! So not 100% clear on whether the 1M shock is on any version of the M3 competition package, but sure it is existing! Last edited by eeghie; 02-10-2011 at 02:27 PM.. |
