Fantastic car.

Love the new suspension set-up, seems crazy that the settings can be changed via an iPhone app!

I finally picked up my steering wheel from http://www.royalsteeringwheels.com/
and I am very much impressed big time, the alcantara match is pretty much spot on, the stitching is oem M tricolour and the feel is perfect, Jack has done a bloody great job and I love the feel and finish, very GTS like......

Before



After











Also had the Hayward & Scott fitted to the N55 midpipes, I wanted to keep the oem style of tips but increase the size, now then, the system still needs to coke up but at idle and low revs it is subtle at present but reading some replies form the Z4M guys running a H&S system it takes a few miles to bed in, but under load it really does come alive (Jez can verify his findings), now then, the boom at 70mph/2500rpm, having fitted the N55 mids it didn't totally eradicate the drone but as I found on the autobahn on my way to the ring, it had moved it further up the rev range to nigh on 3k and at speeds of greater than 80mph....... Now, it is totally gone, there is no boom/drone what so ever, just a nice subtle tone in the cabin front and rear, so I am guessing that is a plus right there, as for how it drives, the throttle response has improved again and it does feel all more eager in normal none M mode and more spirited in M, so there is some noticeable change all round. The good thing about the H&S system is being custom if I am wanting the system louder/deeper then that is not a problem, they can and will remove baffles as required, so after a few weeks of mileage I will see where I am at and if I decide but the option is there at no extra cost, H&S want you to be satisfied with the outcome.













And the final, the blackline tail lights (thanks to a friend Andrew selling his 1M biggrin)












And a few of the car overall for now.....

Thanks for your vote mate but, you should check out some of the American 1M's, mine looks very subtle and basic in comparison..... There really is some nice 1M's out there and not just in the US I must say.

Why did BMW now do the steering wheel like that as standard? That looks superb. So much waaannnnttttttt!!!!!!!

There really aren't many cars I'd buy brand new even if I had the cash at the moment. In fact there's 3, Aventador, Nissan GTR and the 1M.

Were you heading southbound on the M11 on Saturday evening? A white 1M with added carbon passed me (white E30) and it looked awesome in my rear view mirrir - such presence!
