Georgeous! Have you thought about a carbon fibre splitter? I think it would look very good in contrast with the white and it would suit the wheels.

I was about to ask for details on the Alcantara until I googled it and found it comes from the factory like that! Amazing.

I have actually and there is one being sorted in the US based on the M3 CRT
http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65...

But the front end even running standard ride height is a little on the low side, at present I had to remove the centre front undercover bolt as it clips my garage entrance gate runner, I will soon shortly be soon sort out my garage entrance issue but still I will be only see about a 15mm drop up front when I fit the KW's so the splitter may end up being a disaster waiting to happen, but we shall see ; )

And the alcantara is factory, does look finish off the interior nicely.

If these will fit any e82 it could be worth seeing if anybody on babybmw is interested in a group buy!

Carbon diffusers look very good too, although not sure if any have been developed for the M1 yet.

Depends on the underside of the centre part of the bumper, this splitter has been moulded around and uses the bumper/undertray fitting points but saying that there is a few 135i owners in the US with a full front carbon splitter, will see if I can find for you, as for the rear diffuser, I believe there is one in carbon that is an exact to the oem otherwise there is a few modified with fins........

I am sorry but this just looks f*cking AWESOME.

Was a passenger in a pearly white M3 V8 with Competition pack at the weekend.

My best friend has an E46 M3 that I have spent a lot of time in but the V8 is just on another level. Just brilliant. 8500rpm and seamless shifts, the noise, the wheels, it is just a lovely car to be in.

Would love a 1M or the M3. Either are bloody lovely.



Sorry about the iPhone quality pic..!

That is exactly what my wife had in mind when we first starting looking at BMW's, an M3 in white with the competition pack, and it ended up being number 2 on the list if she couldn't get her hands on the 1M...

Small update..... catless midpipes fitted, Hosetechnic braided brake lines and uprated fluid, will be going in to KW on the 7th May for the DDC ECU coilovers http://www.kw-suspensions.co.uk/uk/kw_ddc.php then making it's way to Hayward & Scott for a custom midpipes back exhaust.

As it stands now, now resembling a Panda rather than a Polar.
