I'm sure your build is totaling much more than that of used, but true factory built 1M. In any case, I still applaud you for this undertaking. Very nice work.

I think in the end it's cheaper for him to get to where he wants to go rather than get an 1M. I too think that 1M will hold up its value much more even if somewhat modified. After all, buying a car that already has little value and investing money in it to make it look like an 1M only to have even less value in the end is kind of contradicting in my opinion, but everyone is entitled to their craziness , just like the rest of us

I don't think he has any intentions of selling it either, especially with the v8 in the works for the future. Fantastic build I can't wait to see this in person!

Have you looked at used 1M prices lately? Most are $50k...$60k and up. Keep in mind their msrp in 2011 was $47k.

You can get clean low mileage 135i's less than $20k all day. Leaves you a lot of room to make the car exactly what you want. If you plan on keeping the car long term, why not go the custom route for less money?

That's our 135 to full 1m conversion 2 years ago. Drives amazing!

JerezblackM3 · 12-25-2015, 05:30 AM

And meanwhile, 135 to 1m conversion with a v10!! Plus a supercharger. ??

NickDHdfc · 12-25-2015, 09:35 AM

Goals! Haven't seen the v10 swap yet

Yup!

) that's what we are creating now.

Brearley_III · 01-01-2016, 02:07 PM

OK now that the car is home I have a list of to-dos... 1st thing is to tackle the cakeater rear seat delete and find a way to reinstall the rear seatbelt coverings with the new roll bars in place.

Brearley_III · 01-01-2016, 06:13 PM

and SUCCESS....

removed the foam forms to use as a template, then I made my cuts on the plastics, then folded in the leather material... Piece of cake.

Tomorrow I'll tackle the rear seat panel...

Brearley_III · 01-03-2016, 04:28 PM

With the help of my beautiful wife this project only took about 4 hours to complete! I didn't install a lip on the panels like cakeater's diy because of limited room with the cage. Still looks perfect.

Can't take credit for the upholstery work.

She even labeled them for me!

test fit w/ carpet

final test fit before installing the last velcro bits

final install! forgot to take pics of the under brackets I made, sorry...

Sk8fe · 01-03-2016, 05:42 PM

Those seats

Brearley_III · 01-22-2016, 08:19 AM

OK so I've tried 2 specialty shops trying to get rid of my airbag & seatbelt lights with no luck... Anyone know who can code out these darn things!?

Traf · 05-12-2016, 01:48 PM

Would the 1M Driveshaft fit a N54 135i ?
