KNock knock..

I picked up a lovely valencia orange 1M v.recently. Great car and wish I'd have done it sooner. Bags of character handling-wise with lovely low end torque grunt and real road presence.

Need to find a big enough car park to practise what the MDM mode is! How much slip does this allow?

Welcome to the club! I went for orange too. I've used MDM quite a few times in the dry, no sideways action yet........must try harder!!

Anyone with one of these in VO, considered getting the wheels done in black? I reckon it would look great!

A titanium grey looks much better than black and you do not loose the design of the wheel

Thanks - that looks great smile, do you mind if I ask...how much did it cost?

Plus I am curious, how are you finding the car, general thoughts on ownership, how it drives etc? I am going to see one on Saturday, anything I should look out for? Any advice much appreciated.

That isn't his. Aussie owns the 1M Polar Bear. Probably the best 1M out there.

Would be Valencia orange for me though, I think it is a brilliant colour, and those wheels really suit it.

What a stunning car and brilliant picture. I absolutely love the grey wheels very tempted to get that done on my M3.

Wow smile

I have my wheels done in the same colour and agree with Aussie that it maintains the design of the wheel.





Lee at CCC in Hitchen did both my wheels and the wheels in the VO pictured above smile

I don't mind you asking the cost but in all honesty I don't know. That's because I had a number of bits done to the car at the same time (fitting alcantara steering wheel, carbon BMW spoiler, having the side repeaters sprayed black, fitting the N55 mid pipe, etc) and I can't remember the cost of the individual bits.

Best thing to do is call Lee at CCC in Hitchen and he'll be able to provide you with a quote smile
