Actually AFAIK from the 1 series forums, it's the same chassis 'hardware' as fitted to the current E92 M3 not the actual chassis itselfOriginally Posted by nick_sixx
Its flared because it's built on the 3 series chassis, not the normal 1 series haha. Thats why the bumpers stick out so far.
My (very rich) mate just ordered one of these too....for his 22nd birthday
That also includes the diff and suspension taken straight from the M3's parts bin...
At around 110k drive away, your 22 year old friend sure has something to smile about
My rides: 2004 Opel/Bertone TS Astra turbo convertible - 2012 Mercedes Benz C204 C Class coupe
Others: 2009 Honda City VTiL sedan - 2015 Fiat 500
To me 110K is a bit rich i think for what it is, especially if you tick a few options and include dealer and govt costs starts getting closer to 130K
That being the case puts it right inline with new Pov spec M3 and if buying BMW i know what i would be buying
Biased i know, but 130K buys this:
Yawn....... it's a limited edition M car, and is marketed as a race going version of the 135i so the manual is the obvious and logical choice.Pity BMW have not included a DCT option on this variant - popular opinion suggests that because it already kicks M3 butt, no need to make it even more emabarassing for big brother
Just to clear up, the E87 and E90 chassis is identical so the 1 series and 3 series share the same chassis throughout the range.Actually AFAIK from the 1 series forums, it's the same chassis 'hardware' as fitted to the current E92 M3 not the actual chassis itself
That also includes the diff and suspension taken straight from the M3's parts bin...
So it was easy to put the E92 M3 parts on the 1M cause the chassis is the same, but the bodywork had to be modified to suit!!

Great purchase!!!
I actually walked pass Park Lane BMW yesterday on my way to the Dorchester Hotel and looked in the window. There were some serious cars in there, but there is another dealer down the road that had a grey Spyker, a yellow Lamborghini (with really bad yellow and black interior and rims and best of all a raw carbon Koniegsegg...
Got to love that...

Thanks mate, thats a nice complement, especially the hate part lol
She has done well, even had a call from BMW today inviting her to Goodwood Festival of Speed as a guest of BMW, 2 tickets, dinner and a drive of one of their cars up the hill circuit...........
I am really envious now !
Would love to attend that event one day.
Great work mate.

it is a great event, not your usual car show etc, very well organised and the hill run event is great to watch with many exotic and former race cars involved plus drivers, driving up one of BMW's cars I am looking forward to ........
the 6 month wait now will be well worth it, may even have a buyer for the corsa as soon as later this month, we are heading down now to spend the day cleaning her up and a coat of wax.
im guessing theyre not doing the open to public testing like last year and incident with a civic type r
