Drove my lil bro from another mother's 1M

NYBladeZ · 09-27-2011, 02:13 PM

I think Jamaica did matte black on project Lizzette and I wasn't really into it. I really should just roll into the vinyl shop and brainstorm.

Jamaica · 09-27-2011, 02:14 PM

they have the doors in CF. The only parts thats not in CF is the rear quarter panel which can be done.

NYBladeZ · 09-27-2011, 02:18 PM

It's going to be a hard cap for the roof and the rear quarters, after all replacement parts I don't really want CF cap parts for the remaining panels. The caps would cost a lot for a part that isn't real CF, I think the average roof goes for $400-$500 dollars. I'll probably stay red until I get bored of it. I like the way it looks but I'm aware I should probably vinyl it. Right now my latest idea was matte dark green.

I actually like green on these cars. If you go that route, I'd love to see how it turns out.

NYBladeZ · 09-27-2011, 02:24 PM

Plus a Matte Green won't take away from the CF won't blend it like the black. Still I will say I'm happy the hatch got here, my local experienced race/body shop and I are brainstorming ways to mount the GT wing I don't know if I'll have that on by the time fall swings around. My phone died when the Lotus got there, that thing is so wicked to drive.

I saw one in person the other day. It was very nice... until I saw the sticker price.

It's almost used GTR territory and quite honestly (yes I know I drive a Z) but a little too small. I mean, lets face it, the Z is small but it doesn't try to be large or roomy.

The 1 series is rather small and I don't think the seats would be useful for anything other than a coat or book bag.

They are dead sexy looking though...

Great pics of the 1M!

I'm sure an AWESOME ride, but I just can't get over the looks. Again, looks like a 3-series that went thru a "Vacu-FoodSaver".

Hehe - I'd love the V10! But $$$ aside, the mileage will kill me: I plan on DD'ing the R8.

Yup - sorry for straying off the path - back to the 1M!

BMW 1M = FUGLY!

Seriously for the cost you';d think the design team could come up with a better looking car....

isn't carbonsignal local to us? why don't you just pay them to make one off's of the parts you need. If the rest of the CF was supposedly free from a sponsorship, why not suck it up and pay for the parts you need to finish it off. Its driving me nuts driving around my 300zx with the unpainted bumper. i can't stand having a car with mismatched body panels, i dont know how you deal with it.

or just get the car painted red, but maybe leave some CF coming through

I agree.

NYBladeZ · 09-28-2011, 01:14 PM

I'm not a fan of the rear bumper as much but the fender flairs are wicked and the front fasica with angle eyes is always an eye catcher.

bigsix · 10-09-2011, 08:28 AM

Seeing pictures of the 1M on the internet makes the car look like a mess: way too busy in its design.

It seems like it is all function over beauty. BMW has claimed it to be a modern day E30 M3, although I'm sure it's a much different car. The price premium probably comes from the small numbers it's produced in.

This car marks their (M) departure from high revving, naturally aspirated engines.

That torque must be a hoot to use...
