Do you think 305 pss would fit in the rear without rubbing?

305 could fit.havent tried it.. but it comes down to how your suspension is set up...

do you have that much power that you need 305s?

Congrats on making the front page!

Your 1M is so cool!! GLWS.

I know you did a lot of mods, but 100k is a lot for a 1 series...

there is no standard pricing for a 1M. It defies 'normal pricing' most of the time. For the right buyer it will sell...as witnessed by past market history!

Mr.SugarSkulls · 04-06-2015, 08:42 AM

Best 1m out there hands down

ChrisMT79 · 04-06-2015, 09:17 AM

Looks terrific! The only thing I have never liked of the 1's is the "bubbly" look of the headlamp/body design (subjective I know). I think you did a great job overall however!

Great comment. It's amazing how divisive the 1er is.

I've always loved the function-over-form approach of the 1M. The lines that result from stuffing M3 running gear under a 1-Series chassis are incredibly athletic and to me, reminiscent of the E30 M3.

The wider fenders work particularly well here because the chassis is so short.

i was considering a CF roof a while back and would've most likely made the switch if i would've decided to keep the car...

No, but I need a rediculous setup for fun! LOL! Still have the stock wheels with 275 pss.

Some time ago a forum fellow replaced the roof of his 1M with a CF roof. It turned out to be more complicated than expected to get it right. But once the roof had been chopped, there was no way back.

aworkx in germany offers a pretty sick solution.. wouldve most likely gone that way..

Aside from the OEM headlight washers, everything else is excellent.

As Xenon lights were standard on the 1M, headlight washers were a mandatory feature (at least in Europe). BMW refused to supply a 1M without these. BMW was only prepared to make an exception for some deliveries outside Europe. Forum fellow Stratus650 was one of them (though it took some arm-twisting).

Fortunately, the BMW spare parts department is less fussy about supplying a front bumper without headlight cleaning system holes(S502A = No): 51118057717
