Hi folks.
Just wanted to share my latest dream car with you.
Quick on my BMW history:

- 06 E61 535D
- 05 E60 M5
- 08 E61 535D

Really enjoyed all the 3 cars above, but wanted something more special. With occationally trackdays in mind I found that the 1M must be a proper DD and trackday car.
So, I have been more or less on the search for 2 years for the "one".

By the "one" I mean that it should not be stock, but the perfect amount of quality upgrades must be in place. My wishlist of upgrades its just cost to much $$ in Norway.

The marked for these in Norway are not big and when they show up for sale they are to expensive. Did search in Germany for a while when the "one" suddenly was advertised on a Greman website.

This car (now mine) was located in Russia and owned by a fellow 1addicts member.
In my opinion the previous owner has done the correct upgrades on the car.

- Akrapovic evo exhaust w/ titanium tips and AR design catless DP`s
- Øhlins R&T suspension
- Wagner Evo I intercooler
- Cobb chargepipe
- Turbosmart DV`s
- Upgraded oil coolers
- Cobb AP with Custom ******** map
- AFE gt momentum intake
- Brembo 18z front calipers with Ferrodo DS2500 pads
- Rouge engineering short shifter.
- Recaro CS seats.
- Black kidneys
- Carbon performance rear wing.


After a few weeks of communicating each other we agreed to meet i Helsinki to seal the deal.

2 months later I am on Norwegian plates. It was a PITA to get a Russian car registered in Norway but eventually it worked out fine.

Have driven around 2k km so far and loving the car. Yet to track it but hopefuly soon. Nearest race track is a 8 hour drive from where I live so with a family with 2 kids this needs to be well planned

I have done a few things with the car in my ownership.

- Changed spark plugs and have new coils in the garage.
- Change engine oil and brake fluid.
- New wheel alignment that will work as a DD and on trackdays
- New PSS front and rear in stock dimension.

Considering to order a CAI, inlets and outlets. But will probably start with the CAI. Appreciate reccomondations on CAI and inlets/outlets.

Alright, enough text. Here are som pictures.
