Looks great!

beppeM3+123d · 12-05-2014, 08:47 AM

great Job!

really beautiful car.
Can you explain how did you code performance Ex seats on FXX.
are the airbags same??

thank you!

r3zon8 · 12-05-2014, 08:56 AM

Nice little hot hatch. The seats upgrade the interior very well

jaehshim · 12-05-2014, 09:02 AM

ugggh...one of the few ugliest bmws...
sorry...nice seats though

Longbow64 · 12-05-2014, 09:18 AM

Well done. I think it's huge improvement. The other headlights were too bulky.

I agree, for some reason it fits the coupe better IMHO. But then again I find the E82 design AWESOME!!

S65V8 · 12-05-2014, 09:37 AM

Wow, great job! These types of conversions are so impressive. Completely looks right and way better than the old front end.

spencers · 12-05-2014, 09:50 AM

beautiful!

zamboni · 12-05-2014, 10:21 AM

Nicely done what a beauty.

AtlantaDude · 12-05-2014, 10:31 AM

Damn nice!!!!! I like it!!!!!

aajami · 12-05-2014, 10:55 AM

That looks about a million times better. Nice work. I also like the BMW Performance seats, and am looking forward to hearing the MPE once you install it.

As others have asked for, I'd love to see a list of the parts needed for this conversion. I'm a big fan of OEM retrofits myself...

JustChris · 12-05-2014, 11:13 AM

That looks awesome but I am biased, fronts now identical to me 2er.

Congrats best looking 1 series on the planet now

My thoughts exactly! The 2 front end on the 1 coupe/hatch body looks perfect. Reminds me of the old M-Coupes that I loved. Great work!

That looks amazing!

alexmtl_135i · 12-05-2014, 12:22 PM

Best mod to the 135i ever !!

I'm sure lots of people would want to do the same, please post the parts and work needed !

kevinlevrone · 12-05-2014, 12:25 PM

Well done ! The upgrade was worth every penny. BMW should have released an update to the hatchback that looked just like this.

I think that BMW deliberately makes the 1-series ugly, in order not to sell too many. With this update it looks like a proper car.

Teutonic · 12-05-2014, 12:46 PM

I love the new 2 series as design.
In hatch is absolutely fabulous! Actually, this is the car I am looking to buy: a 2 series hot hatch.
Pumped as an M2 hatch it will be a rally machine.
Absolutely great job mate!

Like the others in here, I would really like to know what you need to do the conversion.
New bumper, headlamps, fenders(?), etc.

MrBeranek · 12-05-2014, 12:51 PM

I like it. Good job.

I think it looks good as well, but it is not the only of its kind. There are quite a lot of one series out there with the same conversion.
