Anyone have mod plans for their 1M?

GotBoost? · 12-15-2010, 08:18 PM

any future mod list you guys would like to share?

randomquickness · 12-15-2010, 08:22 PM

^ sounds good!

I may or may not go to town on the 1M.

if you've been on this forum since the beginning you already know.

stock for a while, then probably suspension and maybe bolt ons that wont void the warranty.

M3 Adjuster · 12-15-2010, 08:53 PM

Stock for awhile, maybe a tune... and when the warranty is up, probably a set of ASTs and maybe a cage.

Initially, I'd add the 135i black kidney grill and maybe spoiler. They fit?

tlav17 · 12-15-2010, 09:28 PM

IF i get one, definitely needs to be lowered

TunedM2C · 12-15-2010, 09:46 PM

Window tint, Eibach springs, catback exhaust and maybe this for shits 'n giggles.

Modified clutch delay valve and oil catch can. Later on AST or Moton coilovers.

I already have some lightweight 18" wheels that will fit just fine.

airbrush in black the front grill, wheels and shadow line. full intake and full exhaust, though I want something that wouldn't void the warranty or I'd wait unti the warranty finish which I'll extended.

techthentic · 12-15-2010, 10:06 PM

Right off the bat, I'd do:
CDV, clutch stop, shift knob, aluminum pedals.

Then to save some money, I'll either do the iCarbon CF hood if it's plug-and-plug like with the 135i plus spacers for the stock rims, or a set of Advan RS or Volk Te37sl
Saving the one I don't do for later

And exhaust a little further after that

GotBoost? · 12-15-2010, 10:16 PM

hmm il look into that Thanks!

poody · 12-16-2010, 12:29 AM

exterior mods are the first thing I do. Clear bra, air splitter/lip so if I do buttom out on a driveway i dont scratch it up, and clear bra on the windshield for rock chips.

After break in, aggressive alignment, light suspension work..ie sway bars, brakelines, next typical bolt-ons (intake, TBE) and a tune.

I'm not familiar with beamers, and the 1M will be my first, but thats typ roadmap for mods.

The conti 3 is not a tire I would put on... Pzero, Conti 5P or indeed the Michelin SuperSports

IS3andME · 12-16-2010, 03:18 AM

Odd how nobody has driven the final product yet, but gonna do performance mods...on a limited edition car....And not knowing the reliability factor of the car...

Goodyear Supercar G2 is another one... Some good tires coming out this year. My money is on the PSS for an all-rounder...

EmmDrei · 12-16-2010, 05:28 AM

If I order one, then it'll get:

- Steel brake lines
- BMW Performance seats
- 4-point harnesses
- CAE shifter or rebuilt BMW shortshift
- 18" wheels
- Alcantara steering wheel
- BMW Performance carbon spoiler

marcel b · 12-16-2010, 05:44 AM

will take some mods over from my 335:

- AFE Drop-in (if the airbox is identical)
- ETS FMIC (if it fits)
- BMW Performance seats (hopefully they will come with a special version with the orange stitching so I can buy the covers
- Alcantara steering wheel (BMW performance)
- BMW Perfromance carbon spoiler

49ER ROLL · 12-16-2010, 11:21 AM

stock but i don't know how long that'll last because i really want matte black.

jdmorris · 12-16-2010, 12:08 PM

A 1M would need the same initial mods as a 135i - equal sized tires all around and lots of front camber (which helps with monster fronts, as well). The 135i "needs" 18x9's with 255's while the 1M should take 18x10's (or more) with 285's. Add camber plates and voila - a car that _really_ handles. IMHO.
