Three BMWs in One: e92 M3 Swapped and 1M Kitted 1 Series!

Рет қаралды 223,095

Күн бұрын

What do you do when you love the buttery, high revving s65 V8 of the E92 M3 - the body lines of the BMW 1M - but you're working with a regular 1 Series? You piece together this beautiful Frankenstein. But this ain't no ordinary engine swap; this swap was done as clean and OEM as humanly possible, right down to custom molding plastic bits to make sure everything looks factory fresh.

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.

@rekt_86 4 жыл бұрын

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 4 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

@heyhayhay247 4 жыл бұрын

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.

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 🤷

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.
