That looks a hoot.

Is the boot lip spoiler standard fit?

That side view really harks back to the E30 M3 in my view. Very nice.
I also feel a little throw back to the 2002 Turbo in some way

It's the BMW Performance carbon spoiler, thought it would finish off the rear nicely over

don't sell it either

use it then then when you want a change moth ball it as a weekend toy

I regretted selling my RS4 biturbo almost immediately, that was a limited 500 run as well and they still fetch good money with star ship millage and RS2's are an appreciating classic if looked after

It's only a weekend used car to begin with and always garaged, 15 min walk to work and living pretty much central London means I stay well away from the killer roads weekdays, and the misses plans to take it back to Aus when the time comes lol

This is the E30 M3 reincarnate IMHO. Would love to own own.

Were those pictures genuinely taken in the wild or are we going to find out it was a captive 1M and you just stuck a camera in its cage?

Nice wheels, I have a 'Stormtrooper' E92 M3 so that's my cup of tea.

It's an underground thing mate, but caged it is ; )

Looking into a hyper black for the wheels in the new year....

Looks fantastic...but I'm not jealous at all. I'd much rather my 10 year old Fiesta!

Umphhhhhhhh. cloud9


One day, I will own these. They're pretty much the only car of the moment that springs to mind where I think "I need one of those".

10/10 biggrin

Sorry, that was a Frozen Planet reference given the press the BBC has had over the recent filing of captive polar bears. ;-)

I get you now, the filming of the cubs in a zoo or something along those lines, well I am happy to say these shots took place in the cold confines of my basement garage, no controlled environment here ; )

No tint at all, not even factory option, its just the dark background and interior, and in the side shots is my neighbours black 4x4 parked up... next to it

I am in love

Well I would have to turn your list around just a little and put that GT3 RS into the number one slot, and maybe add a 4.0 in there for good measures ; )

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!

Cracking motor yes

When I started reading this year's eCOTY, I honestly half expected the 1M to win it.
