Dang

Meh. I don't like the shape. Looks snubnose.

M3/4 way better.

I love the look of 1 series, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Throckmorton]

Still ugly... Googly eyes and that horrible belly.

The 2 series is much prettier

 

[tHa ShIzNiT]

Agree with above, ugly.

 

[KDKPSJ]

Well.. no wonder you're not a big bimmer fan.. Because I am a big bimmer fan, and I think that 1 series is the ugliest BMW ever made. Doesn't matter if it's M or Dinan.

Friendly clarification...

Beemers are the bikes.
Bimmers are the cars.

I'd rock it. Reminds me of the z3. I liked the hatchback version they had. If they had done a sedan of the z3.... this is it.

I don't love the looks of the 1 series (the new 2 series looks much better IMO), but this is a whale of a package. Love it!

If they were going for something that [aesthetically] screams 'super hipo 1-series,' they failed miserably. Looks more like '1-series with a generic cheap body kit and cliched black-with-silver-lip BBS knockoff wheels.' I wouldn't give it a second glance if I walked by it.

(and yeah, I'm aware that those are probably real BBS wheels, or something otherwise not-cheap. But they look cheap. And I hate writing on wheels.)

Oh, and I thought it was funny how the article talked about how Dinan prided itself on being unique and blah blah, yet...they chose to put factory M badges on it. Which is cheesy. Like buying a base Corvette, strapping on a supercharger kit, and gluing ZR1 emblems to the back. Not right.

Yeah, what the fuck.

It's a modified M series if you read the article. Poser not found.

As mentioned, not a big fan :biggrin:

I actually didn't know that. I always thought people who called their cars "bimmers" were from the south or something :awe:

Now this is a 1 series http://www.bmwblog.com/2014/03/31/see-bmw-1m-csl-555-horsepower/

"The stock 1 Series M Coupe will crack the 60 mph benchmark in about 4.5 seconds, a very quick sprint in today's automotive world. Nobody reputable has hooked the Dinan S3-R 1M to accurate test gear yet, but based on my drive, I wouldn't be surprised to see it shave nearly a second off the stock car's time."

Uhhh...I'd have to see it to believe it.

looks exactly liek every other bmw out there.
which isn't bad, but still.
