how the real 1M shouldve been built - V8

[135i_carboned]

Saw this on a other forum ..... Damn this guy spent some cash ...

He took a E82 120d and transplanted a M3 V8 motor ..and did the m suspension and all the other M mods ...

I wouldnt mind .. raise:raise:

Madness...but it seems to work. :thumbs:

He spent so much on the car...he could have made a better driving video instead of just socalled dust drifting...:nonono:

I have to say the guy did a really good job, and also well done for just making it look like the 1M and not going for kinds of other over the top mods in terms of the looks.
The 1M would have been a lot more special if it was done like this, with a proper M engine.

Iesh. All that weight upfront. Doubt it handles like an M car.

Now if BMW made the M1 with the M3 engine in it, it would have been quicker than the M3 :fencelook:

I don't think it adds that much, keep in mind that the S65 is lighter that the S54 which is a "smaller" engine, also the S65 weighs slightly over 200kg which is pretty damn light for an V8.

eidt:
As far as I can see the S65 weighs 202kg and the N54 weighs 195kg so not that much difference, well not enough to destroy the handling.

You learn something new every day! I wonder how much weight was pushed forward if any?

i think the fun factor is what counts here

Well if the M60 is anything to go by then the with the V8 the weight will actually be closer to the centre of gravity of the car as the V8 shorter than the I6 and both sit equally close to the back of the engine bay.

I could do with this in my life.

Who cares if it doesn't handle as good as... It must be a hoot to drive.
