Why I love this car ...
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.

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 |

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.

Thanks! I appreciate the sentiment.
![]() Check this link here: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=618025 As quoted from that article - the 1M is a great daily driver - but you beef up a 135i for tracking. Last edited by nateg; 11-15-2016 at 01:13 PM. Reason: add link to reference |
