The front we will have to wait and see, some sources say the 1-series M uses the M3 wheel carriers, others say it's simply the 135i style wheel carriers. Can anyone come up with a photo to show me? |

So to the OP, the M3 fronts struts will work only if you were to install M3 wheel carriers as well. |

M3 control arm conversion kit and a good set of coilovers will net you much better results. |

I'm asking what are the differences that make the 1M, compared to the M3, other than just a 3" shorter chassis and susp tuning? I think the 1M is an excellent deal for a performance vehicle. Having this much M3 in it makes the deal even sweeter. I clearly admit that I didn't now the 1M has this much in common with the M3. I was under the impression that the 1M was the 1 series chassis, everything except the body, only widened to give better handling and to accommodate the wider wheels/tires, along with some M3 parts to improve handling. But the, with the M3 sub-frames, control bits, and steering, I can see why it's "essentially" the M3 chassis. Last edited by RPM90; 04-17-2011 at 07:13 PM.. |
