Any Info on this?
I had a ride in an 1M (100% oem suspension wise besides an clutch type diff) and the biggest difference i felt was the steering was so much better (my car has active Steering).
Would love to code that options in! |
Everyone overlooks the steering on the 1M. But it is significantly quicker and better than standard 135 steering. I don't believe there is any weight savings though. It's also not just that it's quicker. With all the torque and full lock diff you need quicker steering to reign in the rear. |
It has m3 steering which people don't appreciate until they drive one.
For e82 if you don't have active steering, you can still bolt an m3 rack in, which will give you a shorter rack . If you have e82 w/ active steering, you can bolt an m3 rack in and code it for full function which makes it exactly the same as the M3/1M. My v8 e82 has it fully functional and my second e82 build is going to have it as well.
