you honestly have to be kidding lol. i had no idea about this. are these graphics for sale? does it have the one on the back as well? the one in the pic above is a little too large for my taste and mine is already in the process of being made but i would like to compare the cost.

With the current 1er M Coupe we are more interested in and because it is more feasible in "Longetivity".

Although reaction to the car has been exceptional both by enthusiasts and the media alike. The answer to maintaining the car's longetivity is to expand on the greatness of the 1er M Coupe by allowing the customer to decide.

For example - The approach to introducing some minor accessories both retaining visual and performance impact is more feasible and can be more profitable in the long run it also gives the customer scope to make the car more to their preference.

M enthusiasts although some might be lucky to get at the top of the ladder , the greater majority of loyal M enthusiasts have the humble beginning of M by either a pre-owned M3 whether in E30,E36 or E46. The same goes for the other M models. Looking at the future and the 1er M Coupe will fall into this category , although production is limited the car will still be around and you have to think ahead in relation to these future enthusiasts. Whilst cheaper maintainence and running costs are very appealing
so is the opportunity to create your own car.

As discussed previously in the early days of the (135iS) as the media believed.
There was talk of a "personalisation" programme. Although the intention was offering a full range of accessories and options that car borne from this original strategy is the 1M Safety Car.
Because the window for the 1M Coupe is short there is more interest in the Longetivity of the project by offering some of the features identified by the Safety Car some aspects will help the visual appeal of the car and some will benefit performance. All accessories will be after-market and available to the 1er M customer whether in present or future tense.

OY...PULSES THROUGH YOUR VEINS... : MAY

only a few days left in May...

Yes it was in reference to the early May launch of the 1er - Two Originals. Red and Blue.

But the weeks are getting shorter now.

[T1T2GRE]

Meh.

I would still be thrilled to get a 1SMC. Producers always hold out to maximise consumer purchasing (the more betterer iPhone will have blahblahblah...etc.). SSDD. BMW needs to stay financially viable, so I don't hold it against them.

I'm not going to wait until I'm incontinent and senile to buy "the one", and the 1SMC will keep me happy.

Thanks Scott. Any ETA on these products? i would rather have BMW OEM parts than source a few of these things out in the aftermarket world. Also, i hope these things will make it to the US. I would kill for the rear roll bar, the rear wing(i think its a GTS wing) and the front splitter from the MOTO GP car.

[Grey Dove]

^ +1 front splitter for when please?

Scott: Blue only pulses through veins. Red is arteries. Make with the blue 1m post haste! Please.

[as7920]

Thanks Scott. Good to know. And very much appreciated.

Thanks Scott. Good to know that the early adopters won't be left out in the cold. The information is much appreciated.

Blue available for 2011 model year? Please?

So I'm confused are there just going to be a bunch of after market parts and not a different new car?

Will I ever get a blue 1?

perhaps BMW will release all the 1M performance parts at once - with blue and red brake calipers to match the Safety Car theme?

but I wish it was for sure a blue 1M. a Monte Carlo Blue 1M to end all.

I am confused also. If I see a red 1m I am going to shoot myself and then put my white 1m up for sale.

you may want to reverse that order.

[WAY]

I think Scott is refering to the new 1er which will probably be shown in blue and red in the next few days.

For the 1M, I hope they release the follow:
1. BMW Performance seats with orange stitching
2. BMW Performance alcantara wheels with tri-colour stitching
3. Power upgrade kit (you can never have too much!)
4. Akra exhaust through BMW
