What about a nice German number plate surround for the rear? Not the ones you get on eBay a proper one.

Aussieinlondon- Really, good on you. Even if it's way out of my reach, it makes me happy that a real enthusiast owns a car like this one. Drive it like you love it...

... and make us mere peasants proud.

Thanks mate, but peasants lol

I know of a few who have picked them up while in Germany, I am actually dropping by the Welt for a look around in Sept so the plan was to pick one up while I am there....

Well, my family farmed bits of Ireland through the famine. So both our ancestors probably stole corn from the Crown...

... but mine didn't get caught.

Not alot planned at this point in time, I am new to the BMW tuning scene so will review and watch what others do for the time been, at the moment its just the uprated cooler having helped Forge out, the good thing is, visually you wouldn't know it was there unless you remove the undercover, from the front it just looks oem, but that is where it ends..... Next on the list is chassie, will be going down the KW DDC with ECU, on the brakes front, they work extremely well, bit of a difference with the M3 being the overall weight of the 2 cars, I run Alcon 6 pots with a 365mm disc on my astra coupled with competition pads and on the road the oem brakes on the 1M are much more responsive from the word go but then the comp pads on my astra need some heat to work affectively, but then they are track pads as is my astra's main intended use, I do have some braided brake lines for the 1M currently sitting in my boot which Forge's sister company measured up for while the car was up for the cooler work, will fit shortly front and rear and add some dot5.1 fluid and see how it goes....

[blearyeyedboy]

Keep it coming aussieinlondon. I'm reading with interest.

[CraigMST]

I absolutely love the 1M, especially with the way you've styled it.
Now adding mods for more performance and drivability. Touche.

[aussieinlondon]

No changes of late other than the KW DDC/ECU coilovers are in build and should be here mid April at this stage, and the control app has been uploaded to my ipod touch

....... other than that have been clocking up some miles.

Anyways over the weekend as we had some semi nice weather (the sun was shining) I thought I would get the car out of the garage and take a few pics in some proper light.

[Charlie Michael]

The 1 series coupe is another one of those cars i'd love to own at some point, yours looks realy nice. Love the interior too.

[r1tey]
