Lovely thing. I had a 135i when they first come out, which i loved.
You need the seats Christian!! Get your credit card out!
And some 6 pots on the front and 4 pots on the back.
With the power mods you have in mind, will make it a complete car.
Awesome awesome awesome
Just back from a weekend away in padstow with the mrs. Great car. Youd never know it was turbo’d pulls like a train. Ha Ha on those seats I know someone who might be selling a set and im first inline! Johns on the brake case im sure he will come up with something.

Awesome. In fairness, I expected no less
The front 6 pot BMW upgrade is what I have on my Mini, and they are fecking awesome brakes 330mm discs, I suspect the calipers are a bit heavy though!

Just picked up one of these almost identical to the one Quo had without so much carbon. It’s very very nice indeed as Muu pointed out I seem to have a weakness for oddball rare coupes, this is my third!!

I’d go for a 135i …
Less nickable , less dosh but very nearly as quick

You’re right but it was heart not head influenced purchase.

Rob999:
The M5 gone then Ben?
Yup Rob, got a good offer for it and let it go as I’d ticked the box.
Nice one Ben. More pictures required

1M is sooooo much more of a car than the 135. 135 is a 1 series with a pokey engine and badges. BMW love a badge.
1M has all sorts of BMW oddness about it - M3 rear suspension grafted into a 1 series shell.
Speak to Christian, as I think he still has some of the bits for his 1M that never got fitted/sold.

Glad you approve John given your insider knowledge.
Christian has already been on to me of course the car is so damned good though it does not really feel wanting in any department.

Thanks lads, the closest this one will get to the circuit is sitting outside the pit garage.
