Clean and mean. Beautiful work and I 100% agree with building a clone vs preserving an original M. Way more headroom to customize with less guilt lol. I love what you do!
Incredible. I sold my 6spd 135i in Nov 2021. I don't miss it, but it's fun to think what a N55 1M clone would've been like. Excited to watch the rest of this journey!
First time visiting this channel, it randomly popped up on my homepage but damn.. this is perfect. I'm not a *huge* BMW fan but the 1M was one of my favorite M's of all time.
Man this car looks great!! Super clean and well done. Considering where you started with this car I completely understand your level of satisfaction. I know it’s not your style but you might need to hold to this long term :) Definitely one of kind.
Are you going to do full front and rear 1M suspension arms? Tie rods, control arms for the front and rear trailing arms, control arms, toe links, etc for the rear??? And front and rear wheel hub assembly so it is a true 1m, basically?
Love it my favorite of ur builds. If you were to do an f30 m3 wide body conversion what kits would you go with that includes rear arches that require molding?
This is one of the most beautiful looking bmws I’ve ever seen honestly 😮. This car is an inspiration , I’ve always liked the 1M & this is the cleanest clone out there
Maybe I would consider a mid-smoke STEK PPF on the front head and rear lights….can’t tell about the wheels…I think a murdered out black look would look sick! Plus, it looks fun as hell to drive! Congrats! 🎉🎉. Either way…the car looks fantastic! All your hard work paid off! Well done!
Hey man, nice job! I've got my own 135i to 1M clone project going however mine's a combination of bought and built. I bought some ones '11 1M clone (with 168k miles) that has the 1M bodywork done, including the same rear flares you have, and a lot of M3 parts like the steering rack, suspension bits, etc, but the motor was not even FBO. This car is replacing my '12 135i (with 57k miles) that was rear ended but was tuned and dyno'd at 511 rwhp. I'm in the process now of swapping the motor/trans and all go-faster bits into the clone. In you video you mentioned you were going to replace the clear lenses on your headlights, do you have a source for those? I have the '12+ headlights with the eyebrows which were the same as used on the real 1Ms and I want to use them on my clone but would like to replace the lenses as well. Any help would be appreciated.
Hey, these guys sell the lenses. I also bought a set from them for my e92 m3. www.bavgruppedesign.com/products/bmw-1-series-135i-e82-new-headlight-lens-plastic-cover-pre-lci-free-shipping-from-the-us-s9fwk/
Nasty looking car!!! That car is beautiful from every angle! The wheels look great but I love the look of the VMR 710's in hyper silver that is a timeless mesh pattern wheel ! That just my opinion but that car is a beautiful design that BMW knocked out of the park! Congrats on building this beautiful Machine!
Bravo Jon!! So cool seeing all the time energy and work. Such a clean build, so cool seeing you resurrect this build. Excited to keep watching! 👏🏽👏🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
I would recommend you considering Nankang AR-1 tires. Looks aggressive and are among the community one of the best bang for the bucks (on a dry) track.
The BMW 135i to 1M clone looks fantastic. I am hoping that you will decide to install all the exterior carbon fibre aero parts that you have for the 1M.🔥🔥🔥
Wheels look great, body shop also look like they did an amazing job! Well done brother, need to get some of the parts ive got ready, fitted on mine! Look forward to the next one mate!
I have a 1m clone and we used genuine 1m repair panels for the inner and outer rear arches. This means all the splash guards and trim fits without mods. It’s not expensive and probably a lot less labour. Otherwise visually there’s probably not much difference.
When you do side skirts or anything putting self tappers into the car is gonna make holes! You should do a one time riv nut which will give you a permanent threaded hole in your side skirts or wherever you wanna do it, and you will just use those over and over instead of just smoking holes into the car when you get a new set of side skirts, front lip etc! You just have to mark the new sideskirt extensions with the existing riv nut locations and then drill out the sideskirt extension themselves! Just my .2 cents
Sick car man I love it I really need some more ideas for my F30 I know you have had like 3 on that platform I really would like some more info on some of that
Looks incredible, but you should try to source the Euro-headlight with clear turn signals, and maybe a slightly larger ducktail spoiler. Other than that, Wow 👌 great build!

Dang it, you’ve done to your 135i in a few months what I’ve wanted to do to mine for 8 years 😆 looks amazing Jon, congrats!
I can’t stress how incredible this car looks. Well played.
Well done**
Makes you horny, eh
Clean and mean. Beautiful work and I 100% agree with building a clone vs preserving an original M. Way more headroom to customize with less guilt lol. I love what you do!
Looks fantastic. Congrats! You should get a personalized plate “CLONE”

Your best project to date! So glad other creators are giving the 1 series some love
Since the M is rare, people will think that this is the real deal.
Proud of you.
I have a 1-series, and I love it.
Dope... needs rims... either csl or bbs lm
Clean af 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and the attention to detail is so underrated!! The blacked-out logo on the hood...😩 Chef's Kiss 🤌🏾🤌🏾

Big props to you and the shop, that looks incredible! This build is going to be so proper. I was hoping you would do a set of Sportsters in it haha
Are you going to do full front and rear 1M suspension arms? Tie rods, control arms for the front and rear trailing arms, control arms, toe links, etc for the rear??? And front and rear wheel hub assembly so it is a true 1m, basically?
Love it my favorite of ur builds. If you were to do an f30 m3 wide body conversion what kits would you go with that includes rear arches that require molding?
Congrats! I’ve been following this build. I like how you went OEM where you could. Anxious to see where you take this. Great job👍🏻
Love the car... quick question... So you're doing a carbon trunk, and carbon roof... so why did you paint the hood and not leave it carbon?
This is one of the most beautiful looking bmws I’ve ever seen honestly 😮. This car is an inspiration , I’ve always liked the 1M & this is the cleanest clone out there
Congratulations! It has turned out very well. Glad to see you're happy with the result. Will admit I was surprised to see how quickly it got done.
Yooo. This is perfect. Awesome job on this build bro! I hope to run into you somewhere in Charlotte. I’d love to see it/hear it in person.
Congrats, this is incredible. If you ever come up to Atlanta, please reach out, as I’m part of a 1M owners group and maybe we can all get together.
Absolutely amazing, it looks so perfect! I’ve been following along the whole time, so awesome to see it all come together!
I love how it turned it out man, very clean and OEM+. Which is something very hard to come by with most TH-camrs just trying too hard to be different
Looking solid bro! The vision is coming forth in a big accomplishment! Can’t wait to see it in person some day
Wow!!! Let’s goooo!!! I’m so happy for you! What a beautiful build. Insanely clean. 🔥🔥🔥😳
probably my favorite car ive seen on your channel!! incredible work!
WELL DONE
WELL DONE
It’s all about the little details
The time and energy invested is well worth the immense beauty of the car. Enjoy the emotional profits my friend! Many congratulations
So clean! Definitely my favorite build to date. Really excited to see what comes next
Absolutely stunning man!
This is amazing exaclty what I envisioned for mine at this stage congrats! And thank you for shedding light on what I need to do

Recaro Pole Positions will be a good upgrade! Absolutely smashed it!

Absolutely stunning. Clean, not overdone, perfect. Please make another vid once the headlights are done. Cherry on top 🍒
Hey man - Long shot but do you still have your Dinan exhaust from the M2?
are you doing 1M/M3 style mirrors?
Very clean. Luv your versions of OEM+. Looking forward to future build vids
Do you have a recommendation for steering wheels? My e46 m3 wheel needs to be wrapped or replaced
What a beautiful example cleanest replica I’ve seen good job and congrats
Congrats man, can't believe how far it has come. Absolutely beautiful build.
Nasty looking car!!! That car is beautiful from every angle! The wheels look great but I love the look of the VMR 710's in hyper silver that is a timeless mesh pattern wheel ! That just my opinion but that car is a beautiful design that BMW knocked out of the park! Congrats on building this beautiful Machine!
looks great! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the 1 series platform / chassis compared to the M2

1M owner.

Awesome.

I would recommend you considering Nankang AR-1 tires. Looks aggressive and are among the community one of the best bang for the bucks (on a dry) track.
OMG THE CAR LOOKS AMAZING!!!!! GREAT JOB! Love it congrats 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👏🏼
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Also 100% yes to the AMX red recaros!!!
The car looks absolutely stunning! Great job!
Dude this thing is SICK!!! I love what you have done to it. Good Job as always another banger
The BMW 135i to 1M clone looks fantastic. I am hoping that you will decide to install all the exterior carbon fibre aero parts that you have for the 1M.🔥🔥🔥
Amazing job dude! And you shot footage at the Arbo - thats my hood!
Wheels look great, body shop also look like they did an amazing job! Well done brother, need to get some of the parts ive got ready, fitted on mine!
Look forward to the next one mate!

this is actually mint. OEM++++
Hey do you know if BimmerCode can fix issue with Bluetooth and usb connectivity would appreciate if you made a video or got back at me
Bro the car looks insane I've been following theis build from the start bro,big ups bro love from South Africa
What a car! Finishing touch will be The CF roof and 1m mirrors. And that's how it should stay if you want to keep it classy
Looking so good Jon !! Well done !
Please keep this car and make a ton of content with it. If you sell it relatively soon I think I might legitimately cry.
absolute most favorite video on youtube right now

I think that thing looks amazing As a matter of fact I wonder if you can get those Fender flare arches for my F30
Looks great! Can't wait to see what you do with it next
thoughts on some OEM chrome grilles? I think they would pair great with the OEM headlights!
Incredible dude! I’ve always admired your vision and dedication! 👊🏾🙌🏽👍🏾✌🏾
Sick car man I love it I really need some more ideas for my F30 I know you have had like 3 on that platform I really would like some more info on some of that
I don’t remember. Does this have Pure600’s on it?
This thing is perfect down to everything. Well done
Looks incredible, but you should try to source the Euro-headlight with clear turn signals, and maybe a slightly larger ducktail spoiler. Other than that, Wow 👌 great build!
nice job man !! 1 series are the bests 😍
Freaking unreal! So clean! Congrats Jon 👏🏼
Bro love everything you've done on this build!!!
