Downforce!!!
Sorry to tease but this showed up to replace the wing on my race car. I had to unpack it next to the 1M so it seemed like a good place to put it for a few minutes.

I've been a BMW CCA member for about 15+ years, and have travelled to many tracks in the midwest and Southwest. I have been to BMW CCA Ofest the last 5 years. Ralph and I met in person for the first time at Ofest 2007 here in Texas, after knowing each other " virtually" for many years since we are both on the E30 M3 SIG and we tend to be up late...

The film for the 3rd brake light is proving to be difficult so although they made a template we didn't have time to install it. I was in a hurry to get to Road Atl in time. It has to be absolutely exact or it looks bad so we would rather not rush it. I'll go back in a few days and post a couple pics.
They also made a template for the front amber turn signals so that should be up on the site soon as well.

I got home a little while ago from Road Atlanta to find some blacked out grills for the 1M waiting on my doorstep.
To kill 2 birds with 1 stone here's the new grill and the lights on with the Lamin-X tinted film. I couldn't tell any difference in the output on the road.

Looks sick and awesome review. The 1M is really starting to look good. Really looking forward to a track review and wonder how the engine will hold up under those conditions. Can't wait to start seeing these out at the track...This is going to be awesome

Love the 1M! I wish I could afford a 1M, maybe when someone decides it's too small for them I'll sell my 135 and upgrade. |

No track time for me today. It wasn't quite what I was expecting. I did have some fun on the mountain and used the M button with MDM. It didn't take long to realize how much that button really does to this car. I never really liked the sport mode on the Z4 MC because it seemed too jumpy but I got used to the M almost immediately. I kept the revs below 4k but used the torque and momentum and the car just flowed nicely.

Dan, next time you go up to the Tail, let me know. Would love to check out your 1M and take the turns behind you. Cheers!

Thank you for your posts, write ups and photos. I ride a Harley and saw nothing that would say you are anything but courteous on the road. It is obvious you know how to handle yourself and a very quick car. I wasn't really sold on your color, but I could see myself in white. I am not on a list yet but am hoping to be shortly. There are none in Oregon yet and even the largest dealer has nothing as of today. My wife volunteered her to Z4M to me today when my 2009 335 lease is up. We'll see. I might take her up and that if I can't get a hold of one of these. Again, thanks for sharing with us! |

I think the top gear boys will like the 1M, even though it's not made in the UK.

Here's some video from last night. I mounted the GoPro to the dash with a stick on mount. This gives a little clearer recording of the sound, which by the way has improved since I bought the car. It now burbles and pops a little.

Black Tip Option
Cost - $7 Time - 1.5 hours (sanding, taping, and prep work) 1200 degree high temp paint (This has been on the tips of my race car for 4 years and looks like the day I painted it) Not for everyone but I like it.

I was going to get black tips on my meisterschaft exhaust too but I think I'm going to go the titanium route this time around.
Can you take a pic farther back? Looks nice and raw. |
