Am I right in thinking its still the tax of the diesel?

[Quarrymot]

Hi sorry for the late reply ive been abit busy and then ive been away for a week. I wish i could have kept it at the same price of the diesel however it would be illegal as i wouldn't be paying the right tax, so it been changed by DVLA to the right engine and chassis as its been autoligned tested and had a engineer report

[Kananga]

Absolutely incredible.

OP - The car looks great, impressive build - well done!

Out of interest, what are your impressions on driving the car, vs the M3 and regular 1M ?

[R5YUP]

That is superb !

[g3org3y]

LIKE.

WANT.

BMW really should have put this engine in the current Z4.

A genuine 1M sits at around £35k and with around £1500 thrown at it can produce around 450bhp with a lighter engine, more torquey engine and in a more reliable package.

Lighter, more torque etc. etc.

Numbers never tell the whole story. I don't have experience with those exact 2 engines but I have no doubt the S65 is the better engine.

Car looks and sounds amazing.

OP, is that hood a stock M3 hood or another hood?

[anonymous-user]

Now that is nice.

Always received top service from Quarry from taking M cars to them through to SOTW candidates.

Awesome!
How does the M3 engine compare to the N54 for weight?
Reminds me slightly of the mk4 Golf; the range looked pretty poor but the R32 looked great.

Just 7kg heavier, but given it's 2 cyls shorter, the c of g might be a little bit further back behind the front axle line so probably negliable difference between the two engines as far as chassis balance is concerned.

Google brought me here, that looks

TX.

I wouldn't usually use smilies to describe my feelings but as I'm practically speechless these sum up my thoughts right now

[aspirated]

This is perfect

[toon10]

Fantastic. Bookmarked!

I adore the 1M and would love to own one given the funds. They missed a trick not offering it in the best colour (blue) so I think yours looks fantastic. It looks a real quality build.

I have (but I forgot the figure )

The 35k figure was nearly a year ago and everything seems to be on the way up at the moment...

For your next mission, should you wish to undertake it, it to fit the S85 V10 with a Manual Six speed box..... to a 1er.

(just not with a manual 'box, but then, why would you? That's like saying you want to fit carbs to the V10 as well )
