This is amazing - congratulations on this wonderful car. What modifications do you have on the car? I see the rear spoiler and suspect the pedals are from the Performance Parts range too?

I'm surprised they do not appear to have the front splitter and bonnet from the Moto GP Pace Car in the Performance Parts range either. I think the front splitter finishes it off nicely. I know the world's first M Power showroom in Singapore actually had the bonnet fitted to a customer's vehicle however!



Thanks, aftermarket splitters are available in the US, so to carbon bonnets with the power dome but nothing over here as of yet, the Singapore supplied bonnet is locally sourced I believe, time will tell what will become available.

As for mine, not alot of changes, picked her up 2 weeks ago so what you see is all that I have done while trying to get some miles on the clock (so far 700 of the 1200 required) and getting her booked in for the run in service hopefully not long into the new, so yes the performance spoiler and pedals, also the IND side indictors (gloss black) and M mats with orange stitching, new year plans is KW v3's with the bluetooth DDC adjustment, but one dilema, clearance getting into my garage is nothing more than millimeters so I will be well limited with ride height adjustability so we shall see.....

I know the other current M cars are accomplished in their own way, but this for me is the most desirable M since the CSL. Yours looks superb.

A CSL to accompany my 1M would suit me just fine ; )

Thanks mate, but I can't take the credit, so hats off to the misses lol, she walked into Park Lane on her lunch break, spec'd it up to her liking , colour and all and then placed the order.......I was keen on orange or black but happy she ran with the white as she wasn't willing to change as much as I asked lol.

Looks a bit fussy in my opinion. Too much going on.

Plus a polar bear is one of the biggest strongest predators in the world, a 1 series doesnt cut it. You'd need an M5 to be a bear.

Bet it's good fun mind.

M5 is more of a charging bull elephant, heavy, powerful, good in a straight line and fugly as hell smile
