I think aussieinlondon's car looks better to be honest.

+1 it's perfect.

The car in the feature IMO is horrific

I really wish BMW would hurry up and officially unveil the 2-series.

Every time I read an article on here or in Evo about a tuned 1M I can't help but think, "Well that's another one ruined then."

I guess that makes it 447 un-sullied 1M's left then...

Yes to the colour, however I'd love to see it on the standard CSL style rims.

That colour does look fabulous
Does seem to have a lot of ground clearence at the rear

I agree.

I think it looks a bit chunky, especially at the back.
Think the 1M needs styled so it looks a bit sleeker, not just whack 20s on it and make everything wider.

nice colour...can't see the point of modifying these though..seems a waste

the wheels look st also..

[ZX10Ben]

Trying too hard with those oversized wheels. As mentioned earlier, a bit "Max Power-ish" for me too. I'd also guess that would certainly be a horrible ride (Possibly).

Given the choice, I'd take this one every time: http://pistonheads.com/sales/4096186.htm

I agree, I actally prefer the standard non flared arches.

That looks Horrendous, if you pulled up to a girl in that she'd laugh at you!

[KMB]

I think the 1 coupe has some nice proportions, the 1M may have over stepped the mark on the muscle front, however if only rear legroom was slightly more reasonable then I still think it would be a better proposition than the current M3.

Yummy

Avus Blue would have been nicer IMO. I've always thought most of the darker E36 metallic shades like Boston Green, Avus Blue etc would really suit the 1M.

How come BMW.co.uk doest list the 1M?

Most interesting version they list is the 135i and smallest M is M3????

Because they don't make it any longer.

Probably because it was based on the previous generation 1-series which isn't made anymore.

The colour on the car pictures is quite nice, but otherwise they seem to have taken what was already a decidedly ugly car and made it worse, IMO.

Throwing a couple of other colours into the mix..

Dakar Yellow


Fire Orange (a la M3 GTS)

[handbraketurn]

Nice colour, looked great as standard though, this is OTT, those wheels are awful. Look like one of those videos of Arab's supercars, really no need. The CSL style wheels in my humble opinion are gorgeous.

[MarJay]

85bhp from a remap and exhaust!?!

Jeez.

[bbr92]

I wonder if it has the BMW OBD fix applied and an upgraded alarm along with that package
