Project VENOM build thread! 135i -> 1M(Jet Black)

ALEJANDRO · 03-10-2013, 09:48 PM

I have yet to read this thread, but Venom, considering all this work you're doing, wouldn't be way easier and cheaper to buy a 1M?

Venom · 03-10-2013, 10:05 PM

In all honesty, read the first page of the thread. The answer you are looking for is there.

You are not the first to ask this question, but you are the first to not actually try to read the thread before commenting.

If you have any questions after that, feel free to ask.

Just down to $ figures, assuming there wasn't a catalyst for my project, I still saved at least 10k-15k over buying a new 1M. I wanted a 1M but they were sold out and local dealerships had bidding wars that went above the MSRP of the Lime Rock Edition M3.

Go look what used 1M's cost on Autotrader...$60k+

Used 135i's are now selling under $20k...you do the math.

This is quickly becoming one of the most uninformed comments one could make

Looks like it's getting there!

This side still needs filler. It also seems like they can't decide which wheels to put on my car
