Today we introduce you to a tuned BMW 1er of the old E87 model series which, thanks to the Turbo N54 in-line six-cylinder, has a lot behind its ears. The car was not refined by a special tuning team, but as far as we know it was set up by a private tuning enthusiast (or rather wheels) who used tuning parts from several providers. Personally, I always like these tuning conversions best because such a car was usually refined much more individually than a car with a tuning program from only one provider. We already know a few details about the tuning and the parts installed on the BMW 1 Series E87. What we have learned we have listed below for you in a summary.

Ps. Even more privately tuned vehicles can be found in ours Selfmade category!
