Today on Shmee150, we witness the saga of the BMW 1M diff fix unfold. Shmee acquired the car, the highest mileage, cheapest Series M Coupe in the nation, with a single owner. Despite a thorough inspection at Evolve, the persistent clunking led Shmee to Birds, a BMW specialist, for a solution. The 1M, a gem in Birds' collection, stands alongside other iconic BMW models. Shmee is determined to restore the 1M to its former glory, echoing the sentiments of brilliance shared by Jeremy Clarkson himself.
The team at Birds, including the E46 series and a stunning BMW Z8, sets out to tackle the diff issue plaguing the 1M. Shmee takes the viewers on a quick run to demonstrate the unsettling rubbing noise during turns, a telltale sign of a failing diff. Back at Birds, the Quaife upgrade takes center stage as the solution to the diff woes. The ATB diff promises enhanced power distribution and traction, a game-changer for the 1M's performance on the road.
Shmee's admiration for the launch color of the 1M shines through as the team preps for the diff upgrade operation. The Carly OBD scanner sponsorship adds a tech twist to the proceedings, showcasing the diagnostic and coding capabilities for the BMW. The meticulous process of removing the stock diff unfolds, paving the way for the installation of the Quaife ATB. With expert insights from Dave at Quaife and James from Birds, the diff replacement journey is a testament to precision and performance.
The disassembly of the original limited slip diff reveals the inner workings that will soon make way for the Quaife ATB. Shmee discusses future plans for modifications, including cleaning, tire upgrades, and a potential wheel refresh. The diff fix operation progresses seamlessly at Birds, promising a lifetime guarantee and minimal maintenance for the upgraded ATB. Shmee's dedication to restoring the 1M to its peak performance levels resonates throughout the episode, setting the stage for an exhilarating transformation on the horizon.
