Oh, and btw,

When people say that the 1m is the spiritual successor to the e30, to me it sounds as absurd as someone saying that the cayman is the spiritual successor to the original 911.

The cayman is light, nimble, handles well, and has Porsche DNA coursing through it. But, no matter what, the cayman is in no way a 911 or the spiritual successor of a 911 due to the engine layout. This is the same as the 1m. It is light, nimble, and handles well (I guess. I haven't sat in one). But, the 1m will never be in the same vein as the e30 because a) it is a one series and b) the engines are not even closely related to each other.
