My 1M, nickname Snow. Ownership thread updates
I am very pleased to inform the 1Addicts community that I have finally collected my 1M this afternoon, nick named "Snow".
Can't wait to do some proper driving this weekend. From my brief drive home today, I'm very impressed (coming from owning an Audi RS4 for over 5 years). The mods will start soon, mainly cosmetic enhancements. I won't be rushing in to do anything mechanical just yet other than replacing the midpipe with the N55 midpipe. Already organise time with Peter from Advan to do this. Here are some quick pics I got while paperwork was completed. I look forward to getting together with fellow Beemers enthusiasts. UPDATED: Just uploaded some photos I took with my iPhone on the day of delivery. Last edited by 1MOz; 04-03-2013 at 05:51 AM.. Reason: More photos added |

Thanks everyone for your nice words.
All the photos were taken with just one lens and natural light, EF 24-70mm F/2.8 a great all rounder lens. I'm no professional but if anyone want to know anything photography, let me know as I am more than happy to help. |

I used Canon 5D MkII. I believe Luster can do the coding. I may even get the OBD thing to code myself. Apparently it's not that expensive, under $100 on eBay. |

I'm sorry if I've taken this off topic but I'm really keen on the coding as well. On the '08 idrive the warning screen would disappear after a few seconds but on the 1M it stays there until I confirm it. It's shitting me!
Did I mention your car looks great. |
