Very special and highly sought after g82 m3 comp seats. I picked these babies up in Melbourne from https://au.gktech.com/, only a 20 hr round trip but well worth it. These are going to look killer in the 1m. Picking up the body harnesses tomorrow so I can make these plug and play without touching the seats with a custom patch loom. These seats are brand new without a mark on them. 1m3

www.1m3.com Finally finished the 1m time lapsed video of the full Install. The full mechanical conversion was done in 21 hrs straight and electrical took another 6 days making it 7 days drive-in/drive-out. 1m3

www.1m3.com Found the original video when the s65 was first started after getting it picked up from the auctions. Just shows how lucky it was to find a donor car like this for our first genuine 1m s65 swap in the world. There was a few s65 swaps already done on cars like based on the e82 platform but no one ever attempted a v8 swapped 1m. Video of the donor car and picture of the cluster to document the swap, the donor car was from NSW and the rego was MAXM3 with a vin number PY37490. 1m3

  I brought a few parts from ASV Euro Car Parts over the years so when I saw BMW Owners Club NSW were hosting a cars & coffee at their newly refreshed facilities I registered for the event and a tour. Spent a few hrs cleaning my machine for the event to represent the BMW brand amongst the herd of other euros that attended and it really paid off. The beast took out Best modified, Peoples Choice & Best Braking Equipment on the day. If you ever attended one of their show and shines they are a real tough crowd to please and not very forgiving if the car is not up to par. Doing a few shows over the last 3 to 4 years I learned what it takes to get the car show worthy and picked up a few tips along the way but its no show queen as I do attend track/skid pan days, club cruises and it has its battle scars to prove it.  It's driven not hidden but its really only a weekend fun car. I really enjoyed attending this event and its always a great feeling when your hard work is appreci...

The BC Forged RZ39's were refinished in satin black and fitted with some brand new ps4s tyres. What a transformation in ride quality due to the weight savings and extra side wall over the factory 359's.

Here are some genuine carbon fibre side skirt extensions from perl-carbon.de These are the best ones I've seen and the quality did not disappoint.

Some high quality led under carriage lighting was added inspired by Paul Walkers GTR from 2 Fast 2 Furious.  Love the The Fast and the Furious movies so this was added to help attract attention at the local car shows and help raise money for charity.

The BMW m4 GTS on Vorsteiner up risers was added to keep this monster planted at the track for better high speed stability, at first I was skeptical as I thought these things where more of a gimmick, the difference is actually quite dramatic as the rear end feels planted and no longer nervous.      

 A new ultra-lightweight deep cycle/starter battery was added to help shave more weight of this build, original agm battery was 24.7kg & the lithium is 10.5kg. Less than 1/2 the weight and double in capacity. The battery is physically a little bigger than original but not a problem as the 1m has a huge battery compartment. Making the battery fit was a little annoying as it's not a direct fit and the compartment needed a little modification with a Dremel but well worthwhile.   The best part of this new battery from  Lithiumax  is the monitoring software via Bluetooth as I can keep an eye out on the current draw of the electronics and never have to worry about going flat. Battery has a restart function built in so you will never be left stranded and needing a jumpstart, this can kill the FRM module from voltage being too low whilst cranking in these cars very easily and can cost in excess of 2000 dollars AUD to fix. This is a great investment and preventative to a ...

  TUNED NEXT LEVEL 2022 First event of the year and by far the biggest held at eastern creek. The place was packed with top quality cars. Took out Best Euro bmw1m3.com www.1m3.com madautodevelopments.com

Putting the 1m3 on a diet. Much lighter m2 comp seats & better match for factory interior. A brand new m3 LCI steering wheel with paddles for lighting fast shifts. A carbon fibre DCT gearstick. Koya SF-06 lightweight wheels

BMW 1M3 S65 V8 DCT The picture was taken the day I picked up my 1 series M from the dealers and this is my journey building this monster 1m3 the way BMW should have done in the first place, a shared sentiment by the many. As a child I always loved cars and I had an extensive hot wheels collection, so when the M factory engineers built and BMW released this baby, my childhood memories came flooding back. Feasting my eyes upon this beauty l was like a kid in the toy store for the first time but it was a little out of reach for me, so when the opportunity came along some years later I pounced like a kitten on a yarn ball. It is fun, exciting and tough looking but I always felt the n54t powerplant was just a slightly optimized variant of the 135i donk and an afterthought especially where the model has a host of parts raided from the e9x M3 parts bin. The ///M variant of the n54t was nothing special besides some electronic software improvements and a host of revised parts to improve it'...
