Thanks for all the comments, I was not expecting to see so much favourable people on the looks, to be honest pictures do not really show the bulging aggressiveness of this car, I reference a female bodybuilder when describing the 1M, It is not generally beautiful, but the definition and symmetrical lines grab your attention and you appreciate the efforts that have gone into the build......

The side on shots are fantastic. A couple of questions from me: have the pedals got BMW performance covers on? And, are the wheels standard - I didn't think they had such a shine to them? Rear spoiler looks superb lovely finishing touch. I saw an orange one in the wild in Nottingham the other day and it didn't leave me liking it as much as I do in white. I think black would be my choice.

Oh, Melvster - good work, chuffed for you. Hope it works out as you want it too.

These 1m's are one of the first new cars i have seen in a while where i am actually very very impressed. I dont know a lot about them but they certainly look awesome, are they turbo as well? Remapping should unleash real power then?

I could see myself in one in a ouple of years. They look like a modern e30 m3 which has to be a good thing.

Yes mate they are the BMW Performance pedels, wheels are standard, surprising how well they come up with a few coats of jetseal and good old fashion elbow grease, as for the orange, looks spot on in the sunshine, we did go through a change colour stage but it was short lives lol

Haha only just seen this. www,specsavers.combiggrinbiggrin
I love the look of the 1M. The rear spoiler definitely adds to it.
I can run the 1200 miles in if you'd like wink
