It would look a lot better if it wasn't next to an M3

It looks much better without the M3 next to it.

[fundahl]

I also think it looks better in Blue (hopefully we get) and Black.

[e92]

this thing would be great if it had a serious M motor.

I thought it only comes in 3 colors, that orange in the original shoots, black and white.
And probably BMW individual, for a hefty price.

I'm really, really trying to decide whether to go M3 control arms/coil-overs, Wavetrac LSD, iCarbon lip and trunk spoiler with black Apex wheels on my white 135i, or just buy a 1M and transfer my DCI and JB4 over.......

Honest opinions would really help me out guys!

I don't think it's worth it to buy a new M1.

I meant 1M

If that's your dilemma I'd go for the 1M.
The traction, suspension is standard where you can only get with the 135i after a lot of work, which is all money down the drain...
And because of the N54 you can take the engine mods with you.
The wider wheelarches leave a lot more room for wider rubber a s well...

True, but sometimes I look at it and it has some awkwardness that the 135i doesn't seem to have......

I bought my car new too (ordered), so I'm not going to do it unless the dealership gives me a good trade-in price.

The dealership in Corpus is super LAME! I talked to the head guy there and he said there was no interest in getting a 1M, and one of the only manual cars they have sold recently was to me, a year ago.....

Mmm, this is mostly about money.
If you're trading a less than 1 year old car you're gonna lose a lot of money no matter how long you talk to the dealer, unless you find someone who will buy it from you without the dealer involved and offers good money for it. But 20% off new is not unusual.
And , and I have one myself so I look at it every day, the 1 looks a bit awkward to begin with, compared to a 3. It's always gonna be awkward. The 1M just looks more muscular.
The colorsceme is just more limited.

I wish I could see an iCarbon type lip and trunk spoiler, but on the 1M.....

I don't think they exist yet. The trunklip on the 1M is allready bigger than on the 135i, and there are as of yet no performance upgrades released by BMW for the 1M...
I could photoshop them for you, but you would not be able to get them anywhere...
So that would just be a mind$#@!.

Oh, were you the one that made those badass 1M convertible renders? If you could, that would be awesome! Maybe it will inspire iCarbon to be ready.

Nope that was not me.
But the front would look a bit like this

I personally think it does not bring anything extra to the design.

[fundahl]

I think it would fill the bottom quite nicely and get rid of the "gaping mouth look". It works very well on the 135i in my opinion. I think it would look a bit different than that picture, but thanks for the quick photoshop anyway!

Just go for the 1M at that point. At least it will be "fresh" kind of...

[ben14142001]

The white looks pretty nice.

[Sorena]

i say go for 1M ,atleast It carries M name
I think it will look better in black , no picture with black?

[DavidV]

[Sorena]

Yeah , much better
Thanks
