Hello guys and gals.

I've already said hi on the 1M forum but thought I'd do the same here.

Proud owner of a lovely 1M based in sunny Lincolnshire.

Fantastic car...

Hey guys

Hi all.

New on the forums although had a wee nosey about before, some pretty sweet motors about the place. Personally just got 116i E87 ES but may be looking to upgrade sometime soon. Coupe looks pretty appealing but, considering I'm 22, the insurance does not.

But anyway, good to be here. Catch you all about.

Hi all,

Hi there fellow 1er owners.

I've just joined so thought I best say hello. I'm in the south west, I've now owned my 123d E82 for about 6 weeks & I think it's a great all round car.

Bought my 135i back in March 2014. Have quietly been upgrading it since and the results are pretty spectacular, if I don't say so myself. Just started my first ever thread today. It's about walnut blasting. Glad to be part of the forum ☺

Evening all!

New to the forum (Duh). Got myself a 2013 E82 120d Sports Plus. Real good spec just missing the iDrive if I remember correctly.

Hope to change a few things to it, got my eye on a lip carbon spoiler & Front Lip from SSDD. Want to get a remap but worried about new software overwriting it!

Been looking at VMR Alloys and they look awesome! I do like Rota alloys but wont be able to get the dish due to the high ET needed. Would like to lower it but being a sport how much lower than a non sport is it? As that would effect by how much the spring lower it!?

[GrantE83]

Hello,

I'm over on the X1 forum but they don't even have a regional section it's a bit quiet over there but I'll be keeping an eye on this forum and the 3 series section for UK just to see for any meets etc.

Got a black X1 20D, just picked up some 19" staggered x5 wheels which are gonna be a squeeze to get on but will be getting different tyres fitted this weekend.

See you around

So what happened to the 125i dying?

[LDB]

Hi all

Currently driving a E87 123d Auto.

hope i can share what I've learned from owning it so far with you all.

Hi, picked up my 1M from Northern Ireland and enjoyed the drive home to Scotland, Aberdeenshire.

Any advise on key mods or best way to look after it are appreciated.

Any one else live in the same area with a 1M?

[VFRMark]

Hi everyone,
I have a RX8 which i love to bits but alas its 2004 model and bodies starting to die so after much seacrching around and debating i finally bought a manual 2014 135iM, blue with the red leather and a few toys. It seems faster then the RX8 but not sure if as much enjoyment as the RX8. Pick up the 135 on Sat and will be able to compare back to back. I do love my RX8 but shes getting very old....

[koop71]

recently bought an E88 118d sports plus edition

[strayker270]

Ey Up!
Moved from a Z4 E85 to a 135i convertible! Awaiting collection so sorry for no pictures.

Hi everyone, I picked up my 2008 E82 135i yesterday (was a bloody long day). I had sold my E85 Z4M-Roadster (I was given a stunning black lab puppy in Feb and after him jumping in my lap when I tried driving with him in the Z4M, I decided to get a car with rear seats) on Friday and by Sunday I had a replacement. The car had only gone up on eBay as an advert Sat evening and by sheer luck I spotted it and got in touch with the previous owner and managed to beat some 8 other people to get the car.

As I said, I had just owned a Z4M roadster, which I had for 18 months, which was great with the S54 engine, but it was eye watering how expensive it was to look after properly. I've owned 4 E30's in the past, with my last being an E30 Alpina C2. I also have owned a Subaru Impreza P1 which had sooo much work done during my ownership, but due to ongoing spinal problems, I was unable to drive for around 3 years so sold it as it was rusting on our driveway.

The car is in Alpine White and has according to the spec sheet, Boston Coral Red leather, which is soooo nice

It's had a lot of work done on it and is making about 480bhp. It's got a lot of Forge Motorsport parts throughout the engine bay and has what I was told a Stage 2+ map on it. With the TC off, the tires were lighting up in 5th!

My ultimate goal is to get the 1M body conversion done as I've always loved the look of the 1M, but not the price.

I'm based in the Hereford area, but I only moved here in Feb some 12 days before lockdown happened.

I've uploaded some images I ripped off the eBay advert, but will take some of my own pics in the coming days once the car is cleaned and has a nice background setting for some photos.


Cheers,

Dan

PS: - If you ever meet me in person, you can call me either Dan or Felix, as I've used this nickname for about 18 years and have gotten so use to other members of car clubs calling me Felix from my forum name, thinking it was my real name lol

PPS - In my profile pic is the offending Black Lab Puppy, who is bloody massive at 7 months old and I have to now train to get into my E82's back seat and get him all clicked in safely so I can finally take the little guy out to some parks etc so he can run off lead and we can play some games together.

PPPS - Ironically, I don't actually like cats!

Hey, only had my 09 120i E88 for a few weeks and i'm lovin it,i've been an E46 fanatic for a good few years but thought it was time for a change so here we are, no decent pics atm but here's one with my first couple of mods, depo v2's with hid upgrade and gloss black double slat grills but i'm sure they'll be plenty more to come, look forward to sharing more.
cheers Steve
