Glad you made it home safe.

A question that would help me finalize option selections: Did you have either 430 or 431 (dimming/folding interior &/or exterior mirrors) options and if no: Does your passenger mirror angle down when selecting reverse gear to be able to see the passenger side rear wheel & curb (fi useful when parallel parking)?

Welcome home!!! You may have forced my to buy a 1M for the wife......

Slava · 04-12-2011, 11:40 PM

What size tires should I go with? I'm getting mixed info. One says 235/40/18 front 265/35/18 rear or the same front with 255/35/18 rear.

SLAVA, which car and which wheels?

Slappymangooze · 04-13-2011, 12:47 AM

Thanks Derek! That was so nice to read! Have fun, and keep us posted when you get it home!

WLKSFTLY · 04-13-2011, 12:58 AM

I will, absolutely.

I have several more images and info to update yet, but finding the time has been tough after being away 8 days. I'll get the rest up tomorrow hopefully.

as7920 · 04-13-2011, 04:09 AM

You the man Derek!

I so appreciate your fantastic "walkaround" video. Unfortunately I can't see all your updates from last night/yesterday yet as I am now at work but I am very much looking forward to going home, grabbing some popcorn and enjoying the show!

ONce again, many thanks. I also love the commentary!

M3Power79 · 04-13-2011, 04:18 AM

A 1addicts-statue for Derek please

alice · 04-13-2011, 07:01 AM

Really enjoyed those last videos!

@ Derek - In the walk about you say that the boot/trunk is exactly the same as the 135, does this mean that the BMW performance CF spoiler will fit on the 1M??

Bet you cant wait for it to turn up to your house!

Yes. Mine will have the CF spoiler mounted. My dealer promised the car would be ready to run (including my mods) before easter. When done I'll post pictures what it looks like on a black car.

Thanks I'm so excited.....can't wait.... :-)

It is a challenging piece, a triple-X-rated driver's machine for semi-professionals. Its handling balance provides an open invitation to indulge in latent oversteer, and provides an opportunity to separate the men from the boys. It is an absolute hoot on the track and an addictive plaything on your favorite twisty back road. "
