Well, but remember the new M3 will have an engine designed by M Division - a tri-turbo I6 in the same vane as the new M diesel if most recent rumors hold (or maybe still a V6, if you choose to put your faith in that camp). It will be built from the start to make much more power than any series engine it may share an architecture with, as much as 50% more power, in fact.
Not that I am taking sides in the "1M is/isn't a reall M" debate. Just offering up some facts.
BTW, I like the Star Trek bit; the overt corniness of it all is usually good for a laugh. And you rarely break character; quite dedicated I must say. Though, I have to admit that I always invisioned this as your online-only alter ego. If you are truly like this IRL, well, I would have to say it would surely get old pretty quick.

But what's with all of the prejudice against the 1M? I've owned a couple of M3's and I think the 1M is a lot more fun. Even if you disagree with that opinion, the writing is on the wall with the upcoming M3 going to a turbo-ed 6 cylinders. Are you suggesting that the new M3 won't be worthy of the badge either?
