Saw a white 1M in Klerksdorp yesterday and today.... You are sooo lucky to own this Beauty!!! raise:raise:

Saw a 1M tonight on Rivonia Road in Sunninghill as well.
They do have presence on the road. :rollsmile:

I must admit, this Frankenstein car is really growing on me. It is far from perfect and far from the fastest, but it does pack a punch.
It is really nice to see the subtle touches from the ///M division.

Thanks for all the comments. :ty:

This car is even better when you get to see it up close:inlove:
Awesome choice Morne:thumbs:

1m has a great looking rear end. Saw a white one on friday rolling on n1 before rivonia

Who said a Frankenstein car can't be great?

You are enjoying it and that is all that counts.

So far the only turbo BMW I really like

left = N55 | right = N54

1M rear resonator:

And hence the 1M drones slightly at highway speeds.

 

[SP33DYV]

So I'm having the N55 mid-section fitted on Tuesday and I really hope it takes the droning away.

 

[SP33DYV]

So I had the N55 Mid-section fitted and I am impressed. The car sounds better, and the droning on the highway is gone. :thumbs:
And there is now an audible burble when changing gears and sometimes even some crackling. The best is, it's motor plan friendly. So I only have the high flow cats in the down pipes left.

Cool stuff.

Strange how the N55 mid-pipes remove the droning. I would think that the N54 pipes with the cats would do better in this regard.

Anyways, have fun listening to the new zorst. :rollsmile:

The standard N54 mid section is different to the 1M mid section. The 1M has a dummy silencer at the back.

And I suspect that this dummy silencer is the cause of the droning. :dunno:

Great stuff Morne,
