[@zanerasmussen8889]

It's hard to express the difficulty that resides in keeping a car looking factory while completely changing it. It's why you see so many car with wide paneling on them, standard ls/jz swap, etc. This is impressive. The kid even knows it a little too much, lol.

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

As soon as he said the calipers were painted Estoril Blue, I knew the owner was a bmw NERD. All caps. This is OEM++++ As a fellow bmw nerd, I approve. Maybe would have chosen techno violet calipers. But that's IT. Build is beautiful. The End.

[@Federico-ms5pn]

I’m a factory trained BMW technician and this is by far my favorite BMW. It looks extremely factory.

[@jayvoorhees4170]

Bruh, you can bolt M3 mechanicals straight onto the 1 series. They specifically made it that way, plus you could actually get a 1 series M sport with the 4L V8 in the EU. This car is sick and has been my dream project for a minute, but that's because it is so easy to do yet a true European muscle car. Most of the stuff done here is almost plug 'n' play/bolt in conversions 🤷

[@InfernoPhilM]

San Marino Blue is the absolute best blue and best color of all time. I love it. This is a dream build.

[@Phonophobia]

Still not convinced that this isn't the car from the vaults he's talking about. Nice disguise. Dope ass ride, and as a M-thusiast: They should have made the 1 M-Series just like that.

I just got an LMB e82 and I always admired the wide body look but the 1M is so expensive these days. I think this build is giving me dangerous ideas...

[@NickHazletonMusic]

Or get a dinan 4.6 stroker motor 😍

[@paulofurtado81]

12:25 "everything works, the turn signal" hahaha that was a cool comment to a BMW driver.

[@rekt_86]

I really enjoy this car, and I completely agree that this is what a 1M should be. Props to the owner, it's what I would have built. With that said, you guys took about 10 minutes to say: "It's a 135i chassis with 1m fenders and bumpers. It's got e92 M3 subframes, drivetrain, suspension and brakes". While this is not 100% bolt-in, this is not a ferrari drivetrain into a BMW folks. Also, please stop saying the v8 has anything to do with formula 1. The v10 that its based on had some marketing hype about formula 1 inspired tech (it has none).

[@GrayFox370]

It has no F1 inspired tech? Yeah you are a dumbass. The S65 is pretty much a S85 with 2 cylinders cut off. It has individual throttle bodies (there is your F1 tech right inspired there), a 12:1 compression ratio, ionic current knock sensing, revs to 8400rpm, and is widely used in racing applications. Sure it might not be used in F1 cars, but there is plenty of F1 tech in this engine. It's not your typical domestic V8. Even the V8 in the GT350 can't compare to this. This is the one V8 that Ferrari owners can respect. You should as well.

[@ChewbaccaFetus]

GrayFox370 exactly, the S65 revs higher than the S85 from the factory.

[@rekt_86]

GrayFox370 I own an e92 m3, and I bought it specifically because of the engine. Small displacement, ITB's and an 8600 rev limiter (tuned) are exactly why I wanted it. Calling any of that "F1 technology" is delusional, sorry.

[@Mustangkid34]

The fact that this looks stock with the m3 transplant is crazy.

[@fuelfiles]

[@r3d_ti3_guy]

Was the drivetrain bolt it for the swap?

[@stefanfreestylez]

Lot of knowledge from this guy so respect to him on that. ALOTTTT of people with crazy builds these days barely know shit about their cars. Not hating but if you do these things to cars i dont see why you wouldnt want to know in detail what was done. Even though you cant do it it would make sense to want to know. Anyways sick build and great video man. KZbin car world needs more of this and less of "should i get a new exhuast on my 458?!"

So is it cheaper to do this type of swap or u just buy a 1M right off the bat ?

I can’t even begin to imagine how much this project cost

Was thinking the same. Probably about two 1M at there current value.

[@TheShank6666]

Maaaaan. I really like hoonigan and all but. There is VERY little difference between the weight of the e92 and the 1m. You would think otherwise looking at them, but it's true. Get it down to 2800-2900 pounds, then I'll understand

I love how BM guys are swapping the old stuff in to replace the newer power plants. Wasn't so long ago BMW made some of the best sounding, high revving screamers in the business...now days even though the engines make good power they sound so dull...obviously emissions and all that but it's good to see projects like this still happening.

There is a legit 1M with an S65 in the UK, Painted in Java(?) Green

[@SINISTERx0007]

As he said, stock M3 headers, straight piped to Akrapovic rear mufflers

[@spoolindsm127]

Wondering the same. Is there an X-Pipe like on the E9x?

[@paulvicks1336]

Great alternative for people who want 1Ms. Only concern is how much does it affect BMWs legendary 50-50 balance? Alot of the V8 seems to be sitting over the front axle

[@marksowell5066]

lol Larry said everything works , The turn signal all the good stuff haha

[@heyhayhay247]

At the absolute most, they saved less than 200 pounds which is the difference between a passenger or driving solo. The car is amazing and a master class on clean swaps. However, they're fooling themselves if they think it's a night and day as they make it sound. For reference, the curb weight of the E87 1M is 3,296lbs (no sunroof) vs 3,483lbs for the manual E92.

[@thiagolopes7892]

I think he said this more as a joke to bmw drivers

[@erickromero010]

Error404 very subtle joke haha

[@mike_oe]

The original 6-cylinder N54/55 engine of the 1M was deemed superior to the S65 for later M3 and M4 car by BMW, so it seems very strange to replace it the heavier, less efficient and less powerful V8 made obsolete by BMW. It does sound sweet though.

[@cduone]

A total win

[@spoolindsm127]

How was the exhaust routed? Because with the S65 it's "true" dual whereas the original is a single right?

[@gp9112]

Amazing video! Amazing build! Amazing E92 M3 with its 6speed!! I miss this car so much and regret selling it as I’ve said before. I can only imagine how great this build is and if be sold..

[@CarlosGarcia-ze6rt]

This and the E30 m3 with e46 m3 swap that it's also on the cannel are some of my all time favourite bmw's. I love when the builds are subtle but you know there's something really special about them.

[@Tim82621]

Looks awesome! The rake makes it look off tho. Rear needs lower!

[@LarryChenPhoto]

Running big meats in the rear to keep up with all the new power.

[@BROOKLYNSPEED]

I am interested to know what the weight difference between two engines is and how they balanced it out on the suspension and chassis department. Stellar job. Big respect.

[@heyhayhay247]

With the N54 having the turbo and turbo support systems, I would assume the weight is fairly similar. Plus, the V8 will tuck that weight back in the chassis a bit better than the inline 6. I wouldn't be surprised if they were within 30 pounds of each other.

[@wooden2187]

I'm gonna be honest, can I have the n54 and M3 left over from this conversion?

[@SpencerBerke]

There’s no vent in the hood for,the cold air intake. Are the guys going to fit that? If not I’d say they are losing power

[@jamikes94]

I want one, I already have a 135i, how much for the swap?

[@alexortner2982]

A friend of mine here in Michigan built one identical to this.

[@TheRaguORagula]

Can this even be more sleeper and not have the 1M body kit and custom the rear end of the exhaust to keep the 135i exhaust? Just curious.

[@imSchwaggy]

i hate how it doesnt look complete without the carbon front lip and rear diffuser.

[@briankrepps8015]

Also always wondered what all the dots are on the rear glass are from? Is this from manufacturing?

[@Mr.Walker994]

I believe so, idk how it happens, but I asked a guy who tints windows about it because I have it on my e30 and he just said "that means it's really good glass" idk how true it is, but I believe him.

[@briankrepps8015]

Yea I’ve seen all makes all models having it. my 94 tbird had it so dots have been around and it’s so random when I see cars like that

[@Nashy027]

So much lighter! 100kg to me isn't massive. A good saving yes. But having a tin roof with a sub roof compared to the Carbon E92 roof is a step back for handling. Very good project and the finish is superb.
