The Baby BMW Build

[Worzel]

My first BMW and also my first build, this should be fun

[Worzel]

Im 19 Years old and am loving every moment of my car so far heres a picture



Got a few things planned so far

New Wheels
Lowering
All red rear tinted lights
M Sport Bumpers
Leather interior

These are all in speculation at the moment and are all i can think of

There you go mate, you need to right click on the image, copy the URL and place it between image brackets [.IMG]yourpicture.jpg[/IMG.] <- Like that but without the full stops. Remember to use square brackets.

It looks to be a nice car, definitely a lot of potential to work from

[Worzel]

Hahaha cheers buddy gunna take me a while too get used to doing that

Not sure where too start defo gunna be either wheels or lowering but not sure on what wheels :/

[SlammedSedan]

speaking from experience here, but get your suspension setup the way you like before wheels. with springs and wide wheels, its far too bouncy and cuts up tires or crashes rim into fender. personally, id get coils first then go with wheels. But hey its your build not mine.

[Worzel]

Hmmm i might have to rethink then, thanks for the words of wisdom like i said this is my first ever build so im asking for as much advice as i can get

Mmmmm, 1 series hatch. Love it.

I love the hatch. **** that we don't get it in the US. Have you been to 1addicts.com? There's a lot of good info on there, but most people don't like 'stanced' and are more into track setups. But there are good reviews of coilovers, wheel offsets, etc to go off of.

[Worzel]

Just bought a set of these to go on after the winter, 10J on the rear with alot of stretch and 8.5J on the front, need to get coilys next and let them bed in for a few weeks before even thinking of putting these on, over 3 inches of dish on the rears. Yoooooooooo

[Worzel]

Alot of people say these wheels are generic and over done but i havent found anyone do this on a 1series in person and pull it off well

[99sil-teg]

Here is a well done 1-series, just to see what one looks like, good luck on the build. Also by generic they probably mean knockoffs

[Worzel]

Tony Lins 1 series was exactly how i wanted mine to end up but then i found his thread a few months ago and had a change of mind as i didnt want to copy him, when i ment generic i mean alot of people have used this style of rim before but i find its so hard to find something somebody hasnt done already more photos tomorrow as to how they look on the car

Coilovers are definantly next inline as far as plans go test fitted the wheels and couldnt be happier the 10J's are absolutely ridiculous!!!
