By all accounts the 1M is an amazing that gives the M3 a serious run for its money. The sooner we all make peace with that fact, the sooner we'll feel the continued need to justify the size of our e-penises.
That all said, its two major strikes as far as I'm concerned are the turbo engine and that sagging E82 panel line underneath the doors. I hate that. Still, if I were buying a car today, I don't know if I'd choose the M3 over the 1M.

Knowing this forum, I'm really surprised no ones hating on it cause you can't get DCT!
Seriously though I would consider it if it wasn't such a pain to actually buy one. I Have a hard time paying MSRP when m3 lease rates are so good now.

I wouldn't mind having 1M as a second daily driver car. But the hot and humid summer weather here in DC would detune that car to 100hp.

Great car but so hard to get. We have our entire allocation sold and two people on a waiting list.

I have a few journalist friends that have driven them who've said nothing about twitchiness. Chris Harris, who is a writer and professional racer, said it was damn near perfect and better than the M3.

Agree. I'm sure there's no twitchiness. Twitchiness where? Under hard braking? The car has great high speed aerodynamics. Rarely on this forum is any credit given to anything else. It's laughable. Shows massive insecurities among this tribe. Ultimately unless you have first hand knowledge of something, you're just attempting to discredit. It's OK if you still prefer your M3!

I am not a fan of the existing 1'er, and now the 1m. I have always disliked the body lines and of course the shape of the headlights and taillights. A 100% no for me, that's a car that suites age range 19-25, over that you just look immature...IMO of course.

m3 already has the youngest demographics out of any bmw in the lineup, I doubt the 1m will be any younger.

Another problem with the 1M that no one commented on
One year of production, then the next 1 is out, and you're driving the old model Mark my words, everyone will like the next 1M This car is meant to generate hype for the 1M name Hence one year of production, and low production

I do not think that there is any need to be sad about the N54 twin turbo engine in 1M. It might not have 8000rpm red line. But it offers far greater torque then the M3 engine. The ability to generate all this torque from as low as 1900 rpm is more use able during daily driving or even tighter tracks. The M3 on the other hand has to be driven pretty hard. Most people do not run up to 8K during daily driving.
Besides an appx. $600-1K chip like JB4/Procede etc......will make 1M near 400hp/400 Ib-ft of torque quiet easily with even more on tap with few additional things. The modding of N54 in 1M is a lot easier then M3 V8 and a lot cheaper. Try modding an M3 V8 for similar power gains and see $$$$$$ flying out of your wallets at a rate faster then you can say N54.
