[@rmnepro]

It’s okay to dislike certain choice of mods or to not like a build in general but to blatantly call someone else’s build “trash” or that they “ruined” it is HILARIOUS 😭

[@ForceFed]

"I'd like to take this chance, to apologize....................to absolutely nobody!" - Thic Whips McGregor 🤣

[@brianmcdonald1547]

Wheels aren't what I would have picked but your take on it is spot on. It's your car, who cares if others don't like part of it. Still a badass car.

[@ModestBuildSheet]

@ThicWhips I knew from the minute I saw the thumbnail, you were never going to address the hate. I love that about you man. Do it for, and you alone. This is genuinely my favourite 1 series ever.

[@blakedelaney1951]

Anyone hating on BBS wheels on any German car doesn't know. If you know you know.

[@mycatthicc1182]

I really hope to do something like this to my 135i someday. Been my daily for almost 4 years this June. I never have the money to modify it, because I spend it all trying to properly maintain it! Even with stock turbos, FBO is still very fun to this day. Thanks for the talk and inspiring me!!!

[@FilmingHoncho]

I like the routes you do with your builds , track oriented look . E88s completes this build 100% , apexs are nice but bbs just hits different on E Chassis. You Never Disappoint! 🙌🏽

[@brandonchism6960]

So before I watch the vid, I'll add thoughts on the topic presented. Seeing the IG post of your car with the BBS wheels cemented the choice of BBS for me on my E36. I know they are totally different chassis, but I loved the look so much that I wanted it on my car. Secondly, even if I hated the look, no one cares. At the end of the day, your hard earned money is what's been poured into all of the builds you've documented for us. Yes, because it's put out on social media/KZbin it's subject to scrutiny. BUT until the people hating or applauding your cars start giving you blank checks to fund the builds, their opinions as well as my own mean squat for your car man!!! Keep doing your thing and I'll keep watching the vids. Edit: Just finished the vid... Perfection!!!

[@hawkhand6238]

I absolutely love the look of the 1er😍😍😍I hope to see this thing in person soon

[@lost0824]

Car looks amazing , Love to see the channel grow !

[@ryan2k814]

Love the pov drives in the 1m clone, please make more!!

[@SOUTHERNCALIFORNIA]

I got BBS E88’s on my F80 and love my set up. She definitely has her own personality!

[@senditsammy]

Looking to get the ultimate clutch pedal for my F82 to pair with my rtd short shifter. All the websites that supply the ucp says ships in September. Is that true or does it ship faster?

[@e92_trev]

e88’s definitely fit the age and style of this car (club sport). The apex’s are more a modern ‘CS’ take for the build. Overall can’t really go wrong with either one🤷🏽‍♂️

[@boipelomuse9295]

Ey man, I'm new to the car scene and your channel is convincing me to stick to it. You built a freaking sweet car dude!

[@tonyvo8476]

will this fit on the manual supra ?

[@dest6230]

At first i didn’t like the wheels that much but they growing on me. They looked good in the last shots of the video

[@raygotz1069]

It's insane that you would get hate for these wheels: 1) BBS is quality not just lightness but also strength 2) BBS ain't cheap EVER 3) All our builds have had an OEM + spin to them and nothing to over the top - tastefully and thoughtfully done 4) None of your builds are over the top on costs that average people could not afford, you focus on quality and craftmanship not just names and brand recognition. Been incredible to see the channel grow and the projects you are beginning to tackle are nutty! Looking forward to the subframe and suspension project next. I joined at 23K subs I believe and nothing but love for you here sir!

[@ThicWhips]

Thanks brother

[@STICKSHFT]

Preach brother!! My favorite video you’ve done!

[@paulrondeau2517]

As always, great content, man. For the E88s, I feel like there will always be two groups of haters for mod choices: the losers who will hate everything regardless (and likely don't even own a car lol), and then the enthusiasts who are extremely opinionated based on what's popular today. A true genuine enthusiast never discriminates on this petty stuff - they just appreciate the unique build & design choices of others. As a fellow E90 M3 owner and BMW fan, I really enjoy your content!

[@schm3ez]

Great video. Gratitude is the attitude. Always bet on yourself and do what you want. It’ll always make you the happiest.

[@jorgecuebas2912]

Does anybody know a shop in the Nc area that can manual swap my e82 DCT?

[@yourboyelgin]

hey john, would you mind doing a small video on different tires? maybe comparing tire prices, quality, etc?

[@billybatts4061]

Well said, all of it! Great advice and your build is about what you want and you being happy with it because your opinion is the only one that matters!

[@jeffreybargstadt2972]

I totally agree with having a mixture of BMW's to drive. I have the '17 M2 (Stage 2) and it is so raw, you feel everything. Then with my '22 M3 Competition xdrive, it's a totally different experience. The M3c is so smooth and fast compared to the rawness of the M2. Love your builds and content broham!

[@khemchee4685]

Crazy I have a top mount w/ a 6266 w/ the T51R mod but mines is no way near as loud as yours.

[@bilbofr4ggins646]

E88’s have that odd illusion in videos and pics the center compared to lip looks so small. But in person jaw droppers 🤷‍♂️

[@ThicWhips]

This is very real

[@csboi]

Yeah I left a comment on the E88 reveal video, stating that I felt they (to me) always look a bit small, which is especially true in photos/videos. It's just my style and it's my only criticism of this build (if you can even call it that, taste is subjective anyway). But man when I see them in person, drool instantly happens. 🤷‍♂️

[@_thebassface]

the wheels firee! i need that setup badddd

[@BenBinnebose]

Kudos on finding a way out of the corp life and having the courage to opt out, I still need to find my way out. Love the build. I am in the group of haters on the BBS though lol, obvious you shouldn't care because its your car and my opinion means nothing. I just hate wheel spokes that are convex, they should always be concave, they'd look sick if they were concave.

[@cleanwhite6527]

Man man man. Like I said on the reveal video, I had something different in my mind, but I still like the E88. My vision was the LM-R . But that was “MY” vision.

[@m3sneakerhead465]

Turner and ECS both have had a ship date of September for months on the UCP.

[@Shari_Tejp]

i commented on that video that i like the apex more, but that's just my opinion, doesn't mean i don't respect you or your build. I actually consider you one of the best and most tasteful BMW guys on the whole fckin planet. Especially what you plan with this car to put S65 in it. Greetings from Croatia!

[@MufasaAM]

it's to drum up drama over nothing. this video was about a repalcement clutch pedal and he just threw that bit in the end.

[@1320orRoll]

Can't make everybody happy, so as long as you're ok with it. That's all that matters. Keep doing ya thing

[@dyee16]

how long did it take to receive your clutch pedal? ecs is showing a 4 month lead time

[@ThicWhips]

I ordered it months ago, just got it!

[@sbongambongwa3059]

New subscriber here! I love the wheel setup, personally. Even the one before. The car just looks great overall. Clean build 💯

Thanks for the sub!

Dude! Please don’t listen to the haters, you as well as every true car enthusiast will know that the BBSs are super cool. And nothing is ever gonna be aesthetically appealing to 100% of the population. Gotta do wut u love ❤️

Hating on E88’s is so fucking mind boggling to me. That’s a grail wheel for a majority of E9X guys

E88s look so classy, you do you.

[@dayr1227]

I like e88s. I personally think the apex wheels just fit the cs style build better.

[@houtan]

I’m not even going to watch this video. The bbs wheels are badass brother. Love the lip they have, the face, the color, all of it. Nice job.

[@ThicWhips]

Thanks (but you should watch it bro!) 😂👍

[@EstorilE36M345]

I think plenty of the “hate” was just trolling anyway. Car looks sick.

[@Swagory]

What is your camera setup?

[@ThicWhips]

[@JordanAnatole]

Talk to em🙌🏾🔥

[@Bvrrv_]

I enjoy the channel and continue to support, as a 1MClone owner myself I love the E88’s but 19’s would have been a better choice. The wheel face of an 18” E88 is too small for our vehicles body style. When you incorporate a 3 piece wheel with a step lip you have to consider the diameter of the wheel face not just the overall wheel diameter. Keep up the good work, excited to see what’s next.

[@csboi]

18" and 19" E88 is the same wheel face tho? I think he did the right thing going 18"... I see 19" all the time in my area (on F8X) and they look weird because the lip is larger, effective making the wheel face appear smaller by comparison.

[@Bvrrv_]

@@csboi Thanks for the clarification. Cheers.

[@IronPickle420]

gorgeous wheels. The previous wheels were ALSO gorgeous. The car shows off wheels very well

[@BAD_GRIM]

Am I missing something when did people start hating on BBS wheels ? BBS makes the factory OEM wheels for companies too.

[@jjohn56]

I think it's more of E88 hate on these. It's a Porsche wheel. I think we all love BBS in general.

[@BAD_GRIM]

[@kkeshav74]

[@Mpower3o2]

Your car, your money, your build. Personally, the BBS’s make the car have this aggressive but classy look. Loving the 1M Clone 🤌🏾 That engine bay 🤤♥️

[@mr2scroll538]

BBS is a gold staple what classic for bmw

[@B-Crook]

I don't get the hate. E88s are a dream wheel of mine as well and on this build they look perfect, IMO.

[@NA-gm5sx]

The wheels are amazing, silver wheels on a black car is amazing, the black on black on black wheels murdered out with red brake calipers is so played out and more boy racer than a riced out CTR

[@BobbyBimmer]

Everything is subjective when it comes to car builds. Those wheels fit and suit the car well. Haters gonna hate since the internet empowers them.

[@tjmg6328]

EVERY BUILD HAS SOMEONES UNIQUE TOUCH TO IT. ITS YOURS FOR A REASON. IF EVERY BUILD HAD THE SAME SHIT ON IT NOTHING WOULD BE YOUR OWN. COPY N PASTE BUILDS ARE NOT CREATIVE! THE GREATEST THING TO BUILDING A CAR IS TO PERSONALIZE IT TO HOW YOU LIKE IT NOT THE SPECTATORS. YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY ON WHAT YOU WANT NOT WHAT OTHERS WANT.

[@Jamaicanbroda202]

These wheels are sick

[@098cpt]

I read the comments, its more like pointy elbow comments at this point. Most will run this wheels, but not their preference, especially since the rest of the built is awesome ! You're right, this is very subjective, and it's ok to give opinions

[@cavedinhead_]
