Will do, but it's March 2012. We're running 4 campers next year!

I did see a !M coupe in white, sold at my local BMW dealer, the sales guy phoned me up so I could have a look round (Bur not drive as already sold  :ashamed:)

Very nice....... I don't think I'd have white as my last M3 was the same colour, I have to say I really liked it  :happy2:

I'm keeping my Pirelli for at least 6-12m I have had it only 3m. It's now revo stage 2 with a forge twintercooler on order (I won't go 2+). VWR six pot front brakes also on order and chassis now sorted;

 TD 8x18's, Bilstein PSS10, walk, TT lower alloy arms, Neuspeed ARB's, THS engine mount.

I'm now happy with how it behaves, I think a 12m old low miles 1M could be too tempting in 2012.....

Having both the 135i and the 335d as our company cars, I would say that the one thing the 135i lacks is the chassis of the 3 series. It just feels so much more stable and planted in corners and at speed, but the 135i feels more nimble and about 1/2 of the weight.

the 1M uses the 135i engine (n54) but with a shortened M3 cup chassis, which by the sounds of it is an amazing combination. I need to test one :driver:

Get the M3's front wishbones/control arms and bushes, along with the rear subframe bushes. You'll find it feel like someone's put a tarmac magnet under the car.  :happy2:

The 370z was rated better than the TTRS in EVO...
