Love my new 1M!!!

Hi guys,

I just bought an almost new BMW 1M (1,600 miles). I've only driven the car for 2 days. I can feel the car is sharper, smoother, nimbler and more powerful than my jb+ 09 335i. The brakes are amazing and the handling is razor sharp. I'm amazed by the suspension, i thought it would be harsh but actually it's comfortable for everyday use.

The car came with everything you see in the pictures. I'll have a complete list of mods tomorrow. It came with upgraded turbos, DCI, Downpipes, DV, exhaust (akrapovic), intercooler, Vishnu V5, etc...

Beautiful. I would get rid of all the stickers though. Doesn't work on that car to me. What turbos did they upgrade to?

Absolutely sick! Looking forward to hearing more about the mods, especially the turbos! The front lip and skirts are gorgeous. Not a sticker fan, but damn. Congrats.

Not bad! That's the same crazy price Americans buy them here with dealer premium. Lol.

Congratulations again.

Now just get the REvozport rear skirts and you'll complete the look. Nice to be able to jump into an already modded car. Any idea what size turbos they are? Was the Procede specifically dialed into the upgraded snails I assume?
