1m3

 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.

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.
