Norev BMW M1 w/ 16" BBS Wheels

Post by [KRAFTIG] » Thu Jan 29, 2015 4:51 pm

I actually had this model sitting underneath my desk for the last month or two, arrived with the last Modellissmo order. I did not want to spoil the introduction until I had installed the 16" BBS Uli Nowak wheels I recently ordered. The goal here was to keep the classic feel of the M1 but enhance the exterior with a classic wheel design by BBS. I think I did well!

As mention these are Uli Nowak wheels - 16" BBS RS style with Gun Metal centres and BBS logo. Installation was a tad challenging, if you choose the 16" diameter the front and rear suspension require a bit of shaving to allow the wheels to fit just right. Also you need to remove the OEM caliper and associated hardware. Uli supplied the wheel adapter pre-drilled and off centre. This allows you to align the wheel with the proper drop. Unfortunately their isn't enough space to all calipers. You can add rotors but I opted out as I felt it would look cleaner without them. Other than accidentally breaking off the passenger side mirror the install went smoothly :loser: I'll fix this on the next Modellissmo order. Enjoy the pics!

Love those wheels on it!!!! mind me asking where you purchased the wheels? they'd be an excellent match for an NA Mx-5/Miata I am working on.

Norev did an outstanding job on this M1...thrilled that somebody finally made a street M1. Looks excellent with the BBS. Completely changes the look of the car.
