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.

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.

  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...
