But people on here are getting ridiculous saying how ugly the 1M is, how its an entry level car, not a real M car, etc etc. Seems to me like the 1M crowd is sort of paying respect to the M3 by setting it as the benchmark while some M3 owners have nothing but terrible things to say about it for one reason or another. Its amazing how a new M car (which should be a good thing right?) can make some people so angry  |
Its the ignorance that irks me.......if you have been around these boards for the last 5 years, you would see it and know what I'm talking about. I wish people would stop taking things I say out of context....I love the 1M, its not the car that gets me annoyed, its the comparisons, and chest pounding, it gets old. The paragraph you quote was written in response to something someone else stated, and around here if you don't make your point crystal clear, they react like a 10-year old.
I respect your disagreement, but please point me to one thread comparing ///M3 performance to either the ///M5 or ///M6? There is none.....so why are there threads comparing the ///1M to the ///M3? There in-lies my point....
