ActiveE hood pics
Weatherford BMW in Berkley has one, so I was fortunate to see the car in person. Personally, I would never retrofit the hood, regardless of cost or availability. Contrary to my expectation, it doesn\'t really have the look of the E9x M3 powerdome. IMO, it looks out of place.
If you\'re considering the mod, you may want to check it out directly before pulling the trigger. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I have been saying this same exact thing for months to people on the forums but they are just to stubborn to listen and want a cheap hood lol.

Test drove the Active E today... I wouldn't put that hood on the 1M. The bulge was kind of annoying.

The BMW Active E is an experimental model. You cannot purchase an Active E as it is only available for lease only with BMW.
Every component in this case the Hood is exclusive to the Active E and is therefore individual to the car , you cannot order an Active E hood without having a VIN number and even if provided with one, because it is an experimental vehicle BMW will take an interest because they would want to examine how the car coped in a real-life crash, and will repair the car itself. BMW will not sell you the Hood if you do not have an Active E. It is the same regarding BMW M3 CSL , M3 GTS and M3 CRT they will not sell you parts if you do not have a VIN number and ownership of those vehicles. If your dealer says he can get you one then he is either stupid or suicidal.

Here are some pics of Stratus650 's ActiveE hood on his wrapped 1M. This car looks FANTASTIC in real life!!
![]() One thing to note is how the inner's of the ActiveE hood is missing some of the cross bracing. This makes the hood lighter slightly, bc it must clear the ActiveE's (front)battery pack up under its hood. Enjoy... For anyone who would like to see more pics of Stratus650 's fabulous 1er M Coupe... take a look at this link... http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...=740756&page=2
