Why I love this car ...

PA135i · 07-18-2016, 06:15 PM

Not sure if this was already posted but when I saw this I loved what this guy did in describing how our 1ers are special performance cars.

Matticus91 · 07-21-2016, 01:54 PM

Hey I've seen this vid, it is a good example i definitely agree!

PA135i · 07-21-2016, 09:35 PM

Thanks... I knew you guys must have seen it, but it is well done and fun to watch.

Esteban · 07-22-2016, 12:54 PM

Yeah, I saw it too last year and enjoyed it.

VMRWheels · 07-22-2016, 02:15 PM

Very cool!

Trptguy · 07-29-2016, 09:40 PM

can't stand the guy talking though. Very stilted and I hate his giggles

I had to watch it after hearing this. His voice didn't really bother me, but I lost it at "this car isn't exactly stock...it's got the ECU reworked by Dinan"

The camera work was good.

Superb production/direction in this film. And, of course, "the car is the star".

Indeed. That statement nails it.

I liked it. Describes how I feel about mine often.

i think if this car wasnt designed around runflats and got a better rear diff, it would truly be something special

but if you discount the n54 and the cars overall size, it really doesn't have much going for it imho

HyeWarrior · 11-04-2016, 12:00 PM

I've only had mine for a year and it's been a love hate relationship. Ultimately planning on keeping it forever since it was the first car I actually bought and because I genuinely think this is the 2002 successor. I doubt bmw will make another performance car in such a small package ever again.

Agree w/ the first part, not hard issues to fix though. LSD from M factory or other vendor, code out the e-diff nannies, upgrade suspension to Koni, Billstein or other, new tires.

Disagree w/ the rest. Love my n55

ignore the troll. our cars are diamonds in the rough and are so much fun to build. and it is a blast to beat 1Ms and e90 M3s - blow their doors off with the 135i. yum.

As quoted from that article - the 1M is a great daily driver - but you beef up a 135i for tracking.
