Pretty sad that the last 1M in the US has been wrecked.

Slow_335i · 07-05-2012, 11:08 AM

wow good stuff!

kbryce · 07-05-2012, 11:36 AM

this is amazing

sixburgh · 07-05-2012, 11:52 AM

I dig the "M" stripes on the AW 1M. I truly miss my e82, yes, I do..
Great thread.

positiveions · 07-05-2012, 11:53 AM

it is so sad to see people wrecking these rare cars.
Andy, your shop is doing a good job restoring these puppies. Keep it up.

I was hoping you'd swap the S65 motor in there

turugara · 07-05-2012, 12:00 PM

I'd consider a VO one if your ever selling.

WULFFZA · 07-05-2012, 12:08 PM

Kudos to this guy, got to keep these on the road! Ofcourse I get bitter all over again for the one I ordered that never arrived..then to see this, 4 wrecked in short duration, no respect..

DrivenByE30 · 07-05-2012, 12:28 PM

Somebody had to do it,

i am sure glad you are the one man, and with such professionalism and determination too!

And With this type of transparencies, you wont have problem selling them...
But of course, sadly, the price wont be to the level of commitment you have given them...

Worth it nevertheless...

If one of my cars were totalled and still worth it for me to go through this type of work, i will know who to call !

I'll bet as DSC is a major pain in the ass. Intervening all the time, cutting engine power. I by default switch to DTC unless it's raining & wet. Little off topic but couldn't resist my tiny rant - it really should be less intrusive.

Glassoman55 · 07-05-2012, 12:53 PM

if the dsc were any less obtrusive i wouldn't be able to keep up with all the wrecks.... lol ... it should be mandatory that owners take some sort of driving course before buying these cars.... most people don't even know the basics of safe driving.... i see it all the time.....

This is such an amazing thread! Please keep up the great work and pictures, I really enjoy reading about this stuff as an amateur do it yourself kind of guy.

This is awesome. Great work and you'll only get better as you keep working at them. You're already the go-to guy for this type of work!

Glassoman55 · 07-05-2012, 01:12 PM

Mad respect for you bro. I'm so glad someone has the heart and ambition like yourself to take on four huge liabilities and rescuing these cars.

Keep up the good work =]

roadmax · 07-05-2012, 01:25 PM

Great job on restoring 1Ms back. The M stripes on white 1M look very good and original. By the way is it expensive wrapping complete car instead of painting?

FLOSS M · 07-05-2012, 01:25 PM

excellent job, keep up the good work!

1&done · 07-05-2012, 01:50 PM

I'm flying up to buy #740

Peahi · 07-05-2012, 02:21 PM

So sad to see all these crashed brand new cars. But great work you bringing em back to life!!!! You should keep all four as loaner cars for your shop! Do a wrap advertising your body shop on each.

Jmo550 · 07-05-2012, 02:38 PM

My job consists of buying auction cars all over the states and I'm pretty sure I bid on that rollover white 1m . Lucky you man . Good luck on the sales

Glassoman55 · 07-05-2012, 02:46 PM

thanks....im pretty sure that we must know the same people then....
