to you think it's the same spings than the m3??

I guess so because all the suspension parts come from the M3 but not 100% sure on that one.

I'll probably change the stock midpipe for a MadDad to increase the volume a little. I have an iCarbon rear spoiler sitting in my closet that'll look great on a VO trunk.

Do we know if it is interchangeable and 1-to-1? Are the 1 ///M exhaust changes purely from the axle back?

ES BMW · 02-01-2011, 04:12 PM

In the spirit of cutting costs, I'm going to bet that everything is the same up to the new axle back. It looks like all of the sound tuning is done in that rear canister. And this is a good thing since it's the same downpipes on all RWD 1 & 3 series N54s.

Let's hope they are able to get something special out of that thing in the end!

With the 1 exception of the cold start and revving at the Detroit IAS (which I am stil nto sure if it was fabricated) we have yet to hear something to our ear's delight!

I liked that sound very much indeed.

What still confuses me is the fact, that the muffler from Detroit looked identical to the ones we saw on the street that didn't sound special at all.

My guess is also, that there was some tweak or they just emptied that muffler for the show, I don't know.

In fact, I don't care about any fake at all, as long as they get it done right in the end. But boy will I be angry if the 1M will just sound like another 335i...

Bmw would be crazy to try to impress with something that will not be standard, they know that 1M buyers are crazy fans that know every details about the car we love!!! I will wait for my baby in april and hopfully be very very happy!!!!

I think in portugal it is going to be difficult to find one M1 but if i find one i hope it is stock...

cchui369 · 02-03-2011, 10:17 AM

Keeping it stock and simple.
- tints
- black kidneys instead of that chrome one
- maybe painted calipers

It will be my daily driver so I don't wanna mess with it.

Why should it be hard to get? Portugal will receive a number of cars just like the rest of us.

E821M · 02-03-2011, 01:39 PM

Why would the exhaust not sound identical or close to that of the 335is? IMO that system sounds pretty good.

Way too decent. You can't come up with a bodykit like this and then sound like a 335i. The 335i doesn't sound bad, but it just doesn't fit.

Mowse · 02-03-2011, 05:00 PM

Do Dinan mods invalidate the factory warranty? I don't want to do something to my 1M for a little extra kick if it means I'm on my own if something goes south.

April is a bit optimistic isn't it?!

I thought the first production cars will be out around the middle to end of may?

Augenbrauezug · 02-03-2011, 05:10 PM

I do not see myself modifying the car. I love my 135 the way it is, except that it has no LSD. The addition of the LSD, more power and an improved suspension will be enough for me... not to mention the wider stance!

Yes.

That's why Dinan offers their own warranty that is claimed to cover whatever is invalidated by their products.

dmw16 · 02-04-2011, 08:33 AM

I wish I could convince myself to trade my 09 135i in on a 1M, but the wife would kill me (or divorce me).

If I did get a 1M I'd say just the performance kidneys and cf lip spoiler. I'd leave the suspension alone since BMW has put in a fair bit of money designing it I don't think I can do better.
