I think Donald means our M3, all 4 of our cars are white and they all have black wheels. The daughters cars is however red.

Come along to the coffee meet you guys, there will be a few 1Ms there, all colors I'm guessing too. Maybe we need a hot shot photographer there on the day too, suggestions?

You wouldn't believe it, I was alongside a VO 1M this morning on Centenary Drive Homebush at 7.00am.

Its the same 1M that I always spot.. MAC-01M

And again as usual, I was in my Yaris, so I was invisible to him...lol

So I was right then?

Joe, I've fitted the 135i tips to my car and it looks, well to my eye anyway, much better. Yes I know - pics please. I'll shoot them through later. I just jump on the computer now and then to take a break from pre Christmas madness so I haven't had time for pictures yet.

Ian, from what Gazz has informed me in the past, the 1M tips can be tapped off with a block of timber/or small hammer with a malet.

The 135i tips have a larger inside diamater so have to have a reducer fitted.

I love my 1M worth the bloody wait I tell you.

shamelessly say. WAY knows this: I put more kms on my push bike (training for an event) then in my 1M.

I need a new bicycle chain soon... shame Taka as a BMW driver. trying hard to wear the 1M in and get on a track day.

Taka!!! Now that you've driven the 1M a little more... how does the chassis/suspension of the 1m compare to the RX8?
