BMW 1M Clone Build Video (135i to 1m clone conversion)

Overview of building a BMW 1M Clone, starting with a 6mt, n55 135i. This is by no means a guide on the "best" or "right" way to do things, but I wanted to share the process. Please leave any questions about the build process below and I'll do my best to answer them. Hope you enjoy!

I like that you're just chillin' and trying stuff out and working hard and hoping for the best. You don't have to be a mega-pro to produce great content.

[raymondlibombo]

Respect for calling what it is on the plate

[qwertqaz]

That towel catching fire lmao. Would love to do this same conversion, looks great.

Bro u gotta wear shoes when repairing cars, imagine something fall down and crush your toes, happened to my dad he while he was wearing slippers

[alberta]

nice build, your video transitions show how much work you did in edit. nice. criticism = get some shoes

[stavrosgreen]

Amazing car great vid, the only thing i would clone is weed, anything else should stay as it is and enjoy it. Great cars so much fun, i have the n54 135i 470bhp oem vargas turbos and full upgrades and maintenance. 6k in so far all in one go engine bits. Get it back end of the month cant wait

[nickbarba]

welding in the slippers I relate to that

[hamicrogun]

bravo you have talent, I have a 135i conversion 1m but I miss changing the front fenders, I will ask you for advice when I change them if possible

[evansikorski]

Really nicely done! Did you do any research on changing the differential to a limited slip? I think only the 1M has that and the 135is and 135i don't sadly.

[Luke-kppx]

Hey man, did you put a stock 1m backbox onto the N55 midpipe? If so what does that sound like i'm in the process of doing the same soon, and would love to know if it's too loud or what your thoughts were with yours!

[SPSHIFTING]

Im sure the care said 128i dude whats up.

[mot]

Where did you get those rear fenders ?

[ElliottBrooks]

Some real good content in here - you should add commentary over the top so everyone knows exactly whats happening - as well as show more before/after. The end result needs a full walk around showing the final result. Keep it up though!

[davidgiannini]

What wheel specs and tires are you running?

[AnthonyStromDesign]

Does the front bumper have to be a 1m bumper to match the 1m fenders? Where did purchase the rear fender flairs? thanks for making the video. I admire that you take on the conversion project. That's a big job!

[georgefitzpatrick]

subscribing because i need more e82 content. so make more cuh

[anrs]

Hey man, did you use genuine bmw 1m bumpers ? I have seen a kit but I want genuine I think with after market rear arch. Do you know if 1m bumpers fit straight onto a 135i?

[frankbordonaro]

are these oem panels? how much did the parts cost? obv not the rear quarters

[nickbarba]

what'd you use to get the windshield washers to stick haha

[cstokes]

You made it look too easy. Lol. Did you replace or reshape the EVAP lines for the exhaust? What about the battery and cables? What did you do for those?
