I agree. The rear quarter panels aren't listed as an option which would have to be widened to meet up with the aftermarket "widened" bumper. Don't forget the much wider stock stance of a 1M, how much would that cost to make the stance identical.

The only "legit" thing would be the hood, but then all 1 series share the same hood, so why wouldn't it work on 1M?

100% marketing hype

Edit
- no rear quarter panel (wide front no wide rear, lol).

No widening of the suspension, so are they expecting people to simply run big spacers?

sorry
Saw that, doesn't apply to me. Thanks though. It will be just like picking up my 1 in germany even though it's an export model. I love being military sometimes. Hope we get this marketing tactic cleared up though. Otherwise, I'll just take the hood and wait for Extreme Dimensions kit.

Love the hood!

But but it still has no ///M button on the steering wheel...

Lol seriously, now we'll all be driving 1M's. The irony is that these modded 135i's are already quicker than the 1M's too!

I'll probably be selling my Performance skirts, cf diffuser and exhaust when this comes out

Btw, this is the hood i"ve been asking Slek to make!!!

no joke, i was thinking the same exact thing. this is 100% a 1M. The fit and finish on this kit is way too OEM looking.

I'm sure 1M owners won't care about this bc you won't ever see one because i'm sure it'll cost a fortune. At the price it'll cost to "make" this car, makes more sense to just get a 1M.

If it looks like the pic, then I don't mind looking like a 1M. if it looks like a copy of a 1M, then I would obviously not want it.

Obviously no one here saw the 350z-Porsche-Panemara @ SEMA. I would rock that in a heartbeat. Nissan doorhandles and all.

isnt the 1m really basically this body kit, an lsd, m3 suspension and a better tune... and interior is different, so now with this kit, if you change the suspension, exhaust, throw on a lsd and get a tune.... you kind of really have a 1m. just not officially

I dont get why the parts wont fit on a 1M? Especially the hood.

As far as M owners being upset, maybe the BSM and AW guys but us VO guys arent really affected. Anyone who likes it and wants it, go for it.

From the first post:
•Prior-Design PDM1-WB rear widenings (fits all bmw 1-Series E82 models except 1M) <<< this answer's your edit


to their defense.. they are not selling a complete car package.. they are selling a body kit... one would assume the owner need to secure the suspension bits... and exhaust ... and paint.. and installation etc etc

p.s have 100% nothing to do with this kit or company.. just making an observation.. also i think it looks great..

plus M3 brakes, M3 Competition Wheels/Tires, M3 mirrors, Lightweight flywheel, gearbox, etc... yes, it will be looking like 1M, but will cost you more than 1M + premium...

I like the kit though, IF it looks like in pictures. The 1 series is a rare car by itself, not only 1M(s)...
