Anyone else who wants to spend $100,000 to make a 1M from scratch, please simply PM me and I'll sell mine to you for only $80,000 to save you the time and trouble.
All joking aside... GREAT PROJECT! .

Actually surprised someone hasn't done it in the US. I think it can be done for a lot cheaper than a 1M sells on a private market. Including suspension, aftermarket diff, extra cooling, exhaust. Why wouldn't someone just use OEM parts for a fraction of the cost? |

This is a nice project although it is sad that the limited addition 1m will be less " limited" since in the near future, you will find many 135 with complete 1m parts. They both share the same engine, so this helps too.

You will building a parts bin M-car just like BMW did. Honestly don't see much of a difference. You could actually substitute certain parts for better aftermarket solutions.

you'd be voiding every piece of warranty you had.

I will reply again that the "void the warranty" argument is essentially false. The law in the U. S. is that the provider is not responsible for damage to the car that you cause. If the source of the lack of functionality is not something you did, then they are obligated to honor the warranty. It is the federal law. It may be inconvenient to force a dealer to do things but the federal law is in place.
I would hate to be the dealer trying to explain how BMW parts bolted onto a BMW car caused the damage they did not want to cover under warranty. I think you are pretty safe. I do not care for the "void the warranty" phrase because it sounds like there is some loophole the dealer can invoke to refuse to repair under warranty. There is none. Unless they can show you caused the damage they have to honor the warranty, regardless of what they think of your modifications. Not making the dealer cover damage you caused is just common sense to me. Jim

I have seen this car at munich and the fitment of the Prior parts are very bad.
I cannot recommend buying this kit at all. You will have too see it in persons. Also another forum member said that the fitment is quite bad. I recommend buying original parts only. This safes you at the end a lot of money and stress

Its one of those cars that is parked at a meet next to a 1m and when you tell the 1m owner the engine specs he looks at you and simply says "Its still not a 1m"
I respect the build just the more I think about it the less logical it is

Why not swap in an S65 to match the cluster? Kind of a half assed swap without the suspension conversion IMO. Coming from someone who has swapped to the M components, it's well worth the improvement costs...
