Maintenance done for now. New plugs and coils feel great so far. Old ones were def on their way out.
Got some grime buildup on the old pulleys. Debating if I want to pull everything apart again and clean the engine block up really nice.

Just caught up on maintenance that set me back a good chunk of change. Oil Pan gasket was leaking and making a mess everywhere. Also replaced engine mounts with fresh OEM ones while the front-subframe was dropped.
Also officially biting the bullet on finishing this build. Got some 1M rear body panels incoming...

Outer Fenders are in. Body shop lined up for August.
Still want to source the inner 1M wheel wells. BMW has halted ordering of them. They are very expensive now compared to a couple years ago. Was thinking E92 M3 inner wheel wells could work but need to study first.

Little bit of a leap of faith. Ordered e92 M3 inner wheel wells. Currently out 4-6 weeks directly from Germany.
Considering how much the 1M uses from the M3, im confident this should work. Attached pics of Morgan GS's e92 M3 conversion using the M3 wheel wells and pics of BillDaCat8's build showing the 1M's inner wheel well.

E92 M3 wheel wells are in quicker than expected. Overall fit isn’t bad. Some modification required like I thought but the part where the well and fender match up is about near perfect.

Looks like some cutting is all that's needed?

Correct. The ends don't match up so will likely have to do a similar setup as Morgan GS's e92 M3 conversion. Using part of the original 135i wheel well and the m3's to extend it. It is just sheet metal so it shouldn't be that hard to bend in to the shape needed.
We shall also see what my body shop wants to do, this is just giving them another option from splicing and flaring the 135i wheel well.
