Build a paper 1

c0smuss · 04-23-2008, 08:45 PM

The other day I found a rather curious website at bmwusa, it lets you print a series 1, that you can then cut and assemble to put in your desk. I really don't know how many of you have seen it, it may be a repost but I couldn't find anything.

Here I leave you the links for the .pdf 's

this one for the desktop model
http://content.bmwusa.com/microsite/...es_desktop.pdf

and this one for a profile ( real size i think) that you print in 140 sheets ...
http://content.bmwusa.com/microsite/...s_lifesize.pdf

When I saw them, I thought to myself: "Only those that are addicts would enjoy a thing like this"

Have fun!

Chris.

Thats kinda bad a@@!

I think BMW's attitude toward this car is very similar to their attitude towards Mini.

raisemyrent · 04-23-2008, 10:39 PM

omg that is insane... debated printing the 140 sheets for an instant.
I just don't have enough wall space.

topvega · 04-23-2008, 10:49 PM

Pretty cool.. and nice find... will be printing out the small one tomorrow... thought about the big one but I have to try to keep the size of my " carbon footprint " down....

funny stuff.

JSierra · 04-24-2008, 11:16 AM

I am thinking about doing the driveway model. Since my parking spot is empty right now. Haha, if I put it together before my wife gets home, maybe she will think I got the car.......but i will have to find some stakes to put it up on the grass so she can see it coming down the road.

JTdrivin1 · 04-24-2008, 11:55 AM

def going right on the desk here at work...

imported_Maurice · 04-24-2008, 12:10 PM

My new paper 1 series' status: in production... Not sure how long it will take for it to be completed, though!

AchtungF80 · 04-24-2008, 12:25 PM

My paper 135i has just entered production, scheduled completion 3pm! *EDIT AGH you beat me to it!

JTdrivin1 · 04-24-2008, 12:41 PM

that took waayyyyy too long to build... oh well, at least i have something to play with until the real thing comes...

Endre · 04-24-2008, 12:51 PM

Nice! Anyone with photoshop skills, who could change the colour on the model to Lemansblue, performance alloys and a litle drop?

I can change the color. I only have a B&W laser printer here at home so I got rid of the color completely when I printed mine.

I agree with everyone else... Thing took way to long to cut out and fold. Took me like a half hour.

Dan203 · 04-24-2008, 01:25 PM

OK here is one in blue. Not sure it's exactly "Lemans blue" but it's as close as I can get in the CMYK color pallet.

Endre · 04-24-2008, 02:08 PM

Thx!! would look smashing on my office desk.

aesthetect · 04-24-2008, 02:14 PM

man... i looked at that blue one, and now i really actually want to do it.

morscode · 04-24-2008, 03:21 PM

Mine looks like it came off the ship with the 100+ crashed bimmers
But very :w00t:

knightps · 04-24-2008, 03:26 PM

That was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. Now I feel mildly retarded.

lifesaride · 04-24-2008, 04:24 PM

I spent far more time on that than I'd have liked to.

hahaha same thing happened to me, for some reason I pasted the layout onto a cereal cardboard but it ended up being so hard to cut, and it looks like it went into a ditch or something.

Glad you guys liked it

Edit: ohh and good job in that blue, it looks even better!!
