Official Debut: BMW 1M Coupe MotoGP Safety Car

alice · 03-18-2011, 02:26 PM

mmmmmm .... Akra exhaust looks awesome. Hopefully it will sound as good!

I also want the front splitter!

BrokenVert · 03-18-2011, 02:34 PM

So we can all look at this but of course BMW will be too stupid to actually offer it.

I was thinking the same thing. I didnt know Akrapovic made exhausts for cars. I know they did for motorcycles. I had akra slip-on's, on my last two Yamaha R1's and it sounded

Can't wait to hear what it sounds like for the 1M...

I am really liking the AW with those hood vents on the safety car. I think a AW 1M with Akra exhaust, and white hood with those carbon fiber hood vents would be amazing!

Place a little "M" stripe down one side (front to back) on the car and wow!

Thanks for all these images! I have officially updated my wallpapers folder

providence · 03-18-2011, 04:55 PM

gotta say, this white car looks better than the bsm next to it... but then again; it's supposed to...with all those mods there is certainly a more squatted look to the AW. hopefully some of these mods will trickle into production. fingers crossed.... my order still stays in bsm... for now..

darkvaderr · 03-18-2011, 05:00 PM

Too bad Akra exhaust for M3 is ~3500 for the slip on and ~5800 for the full

Don't think the gf would be happy especially if I want TE37sl's and the iCarbon vented hood as well

Also with the limited numbers of 1M, don't think we'd be able to score a budget system like the Megan Racing Stainless Steel exhaust for the M3 for ~600 *sigh

blacknbean · 03-18-2011, 05:02 PM

thats hot! it looks way better lowered and looks a bit lighter with all the mods. i bet its amazing to drive! 1M GTS! bring it!

sq86 · 03-18-2011, 05:21 PM

Things I would like on mine: kidney grills, side badges, calipers, rims, seats, steering wheel and that exhaust ohh yeah...

Just with bsm please

The M button (throttle map) is on the steering wheel. The MDM button (DSC) is on the dash.

GOLFFRR · 03-18-2011, 11:51 PM

stunning

sparoz · 03-19-2011, 12:05 AM

Well, now they have already made one - no excuse for Akrapovic not to offer an exhaust for the 1M.

And on the 1M, the button is labeled "MDM", on the Safety Car it's simply "OFF". This leads me to ASSume that the Safety Car has no "Normal" mode, it's MDM or nothing

The 1M in Geneva also had the standard button "DSC off", not the MDM button we saw on other prototypes.

Still wondering what will be in the final version.

LazyEye · 03-19-2011, 06:23 AM

Where can one find the color codes (RAL?) for the M-colours?

Are there variations between years, or have they 'always' been the same?

This is what it looks like:

Sorry! Can't figure out how to make Imageshack NOT rotate the picture.

skyphab · 03-19-2011, 06:35 AM

Alright, I guess it's the same button like in the normal 1-series?
Looks like they are using one button and don't write DSC or MDM on it. So it goes both ways.

EmmDrei · 03-19-2011, 06:41 AM

That's what I wrote earlier.

Dackelone · 03-19-2011, 07:00 AM

^^Jeeze... talk about cutting costs! At least give us a lousy button! lol

skyphab · 03-19-2011, 07:23 AM

@EmmDrei: Ah, I thought the normal BMW button says "DSC off" and they changed that one to "off" that they can use it in the 1M too?

Well, I don't care about the button's title as long as the car has MDM!
