1LittleMonster 135i > 1M Build (#1littlemonster)

Fidiman · 04-13-2015, 01:13 PM

Can't wait to see the next steps! I'm planning to put some Recaro Pole Position seats in my car. I will probably do a colour match as you did

135TX · 04-14-2015, 08:56 AM

Im curious if the N54 exhausts specific for the 1M will sound as good on the N55, since they have a different exhaust note. I'm sure it will be different, just whether it's better or worse. All personal preference i suppose.

Good progress thus far, looks great. Keep it up!

Few updates this weekend; Apex Stud Conversion Kit & Custom Interior Orange Stitching DIY completed.

ShocknAwe · 04-26-2015, 06:57 PM

Looks nice. What did you do, thread orange through the black stitches? Are you going to do the seats too?

Yeah! It was fairly easy just time consuming. I got the idea from a DIY on e90post. The seats will stay the way they are but the VAC Roll Cage will be orange to match, along with the calipers and intake scoops.

That looks great. Can you link me to that diy by chance?

Your build looks great OP, awesome job so far!

Heh I love your thread. I am just wondering if the fender and panel removal is intuitive or did you have a guide or manual to assist? It appears a relatively straightforward process from the pictures but that could be due to your experience. Thanks
