Probably because most bm drivers are snobs :P Maybe you just need a massive 1Addicts sticker for everyone to see.

froop · 01-30-2014, 07:20 AM

I think it's just that you're spotting every 135i out there, but more than likely 95% of the owners of these vehicles don't even know that 1addicts exists. Best to stick to the modded ones to be safe.

I'd rather stay stealth but happy to wave if I'm ever spotted

True. But, in Brisbane, that would probably only be Vinney

and I've already spotted him before. Well, his car definitely does make a statement!
On to the next poor unsuspecting soul !

I can name over 15 owners of highly modified one series cars in the Brisbane metro area. Lol

Pete, don't you know that you're not 'highly modified' unless you have racing stripes? Doesn't matter how much power you're putting down. It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that bling.

Yours included

Nice car and mods list.
I'm relatively a newbie around here and don't personally know anyone or their cars

but, true, I can think of a few more modded cars now but Vinney's car is the only modified one I've actually seen driving on the road - I probably don't get out enough

Anyway, I didn't mean to clog up the thread so on to more car spotting!!!

Kirst · 01-30-2014, 06:07 PM

Never get seen in Brisbane

Probably because I'm not insane enough to work in the city

Does that mean I'm the only 'highly modified' 1er here?

You guys all need to try harder

I could probably squeeze out several hundred more kW by enlarging my stripes.

I think you should just add MORE stripes. Go full zebra!

Maybe I can mix in yellow stripes with my black stripes and go full bee!

VGR00 · 01-30-2014, 11:05 PM

Well I'll add to this thread .....

Spotted white 1M this morning at around 10.20am on Nudgee road turning into Kingsford Smith Drive. Number plate "ONE EM"

I'm surprised that, for the number of cars I spot, I don't really get any waves on the forum - but maybe the owners just want to remain inconspicuous, which is fine too.
Does it look like I'm trying to own this thread

I may need some serious

Baader Meinhof Phenomenon is what you're looking for

OzJustin · 01-31-2014, 06:17 AM

Qld spots seem to be the most common lately. Great to see so many 1ers in Brisbane.

Cakezilla · 01-31-2014, 09:22 AM

I drive around Brissy every day for my job, and I see a hell of a lot of 1'ers to be honest. The thing is, they almost all look the same, stupid M sports kits. I rarely see any modified ones though. Those that are noticeable at least.

May also get a bit sus if I start adding people's address's when I see your car parked in your driveway/garage as I drive past haha.

Harlequin · 01-31-2014, 09:41 AM

Modified 1ers are easy to spot... Look at wheels, exhaust tips, grilles, mirrors, tail lights and headlights.

Black Grilles
LCI Tail lights on a car without Dumbo Ear Mirrors
Non-Standard Exhaust
Aftermarket Wheels
Any CF Additions
LUX or similar.

All of these are easily visible and if a car has cosmetic mods then it probably has some performance mods too... (unless it's Nik's car

)

True, but they are very few and far between... I'm guessing (GUESSING) that you could count the number of 1ers in Oz with performance mods and NO cosmetic mods on 1 hand.

And yes, I know you're one of them

Actually I started some cosmetic mods today

Stickers and badges give me an extra 10hp right? :P
