Love everything, except the Volks. And maybe it's just the video or because the exhaust is shorter but this sounds better than some E9X M3's

Acheron83 · 11-04-2014, 03:02 AM

Great build and really well produced vids!

...however the type of driving being done in the vid left me a little disappointed, particularly the drifting around a public highway and the weaving through traffic in the tunnel, with no indicators and inches from other cars.

Just needs some 1M mirrors, and Perfect!

He doesn't want to install 1M mirrors.
It's like a small prompt for BMW fans and other that it isn't 1M.

Has been done already. About a year ago IIRC there were a few articles about that. Doesn't really work performance-wise though, as it's far too front heavy, oversteer everywhere and not much quicker than the original 1M. More of a showcar, really.

Read here (in German though): BMW 1er Coupé V10 engine

Sick car, sick build. Owner drives like an irresponsible little cunt on public roads and spoils the whole effect. Well done!

Fuman · 11-04-2014, 05:19 AM

I just need to say that I was blown away. This is indeed passion!

pj.rodriguez · 11-04-2014, 08:29 AM

I lose my mind every time I see this car on the forums. So amazing and really well done.

bladeomatic · 11-04-2014, 09:50 AM

Nasty little toy.
How could you possibly pull up to a signal and not thumb your nose to every 'vette you see?

I may have enough money to build one someday.
I may not have enough money to keep it in tires.

I really, *really* like this car. I'm just baffled as to why he didn't paint the engine bay.

essex_lad · 11-04-2014, 12:03 PM

I would love this, what a machine.

e92dave · 11-04-2014, 12:05 PM

Glad to see no 1m was harmed in the making. Beautiful build nonetheless

Its most probably been wrapped or the engine was already in and the paint was the final touch.
