///1M Colours

Brissie · 02-13-2011, 05:11 AM

Anyone else think the rear bumper doesn't look right, and too fussy?

alik01 · 02-13-2011, 05:36 AM

I agree on the rear bumper, I don't like how it doesn't wrap around the exhaust tips. I might actually look at a Vorsteiner carbon diffuser or something eventually. I still love this car so much and am waiting very impatiently for those build slots to be allocated.

Finally!

Of course colour choice is a qualitative thing and we all have an opinion. However in the 1M we have a car that has undeniable quantitative attributes which are undisputable. Even that great antagonist Jeremy Clarkson in his review of next years cars in the AUSTRALIAN quotes the 1m as the car that he most wants to drive and he lists the reasons why.....sad bit is his choice car for next year is the new Citroen DS3 race!

lavaletta · 02-19-2011, 04:36 PM

Yes, but he hasn't actually driven the 1M yet. I also note his comment (again) that the 135 is the best car in the BMW lineup.

Any comments on the black wheels? I have asked for mine to be painted black before delivery, should look awesome on the AW car, then again I already think the combination works well cause the M3 has been given the same treatment excepting I went Matt on that car.

Fair comment, have to agree, though maybe that stupid orange reflector in the headlight assembly screws the look, plus the shots are pretty average IMO.

Alpine* · 03-03-2011, 08:02 PM

More BLACK (for those who don't troll the 1 Series site).

the wheel arches look awesome in black, like an m3 e46 on roids, looks like it could fit 20's

BBK · 03-03-2011, 10:03 PM

Still think the Black looks best, with AW second. Although the ride height is toooooo high!

sparoz · 03-04-2011, 08:41 AM

Lol - I like VO still - I definitely not going with a black with this car. Still thinking about AW, my wife was picking me up yesterday, and her car do look great.

alik01 · 03-04-2011, 04:36 PM

Don't think the shots do it justice. Sticking to AW personally.

WAY · 03-04-2011, 10:50 PM

I'm sticking to VO. Black doesn't show the lines. VO is different, good or bad lol. But I'm going to pick up the car with carbon mirrors, carbon spoiler, black grilles, and black wheels so I think it will look rather aggressive.

Alpine* · 03-13-2011, 01:44 AM

This is the look I want for the 1M:

Black kidneys (gloss)
Black and white Roundels (front and rear)
Black and monochrome ///M boot badge
Black wheels
LED Angels
maybe a blacked out roof, not sure (Not fake carbon though)

similar to the M3..
