track time baby. Who will overheat first.
Yeah, you can go out and spend a whole lot of money to upgrade those turbos and blah blah blah, but V8 is a V8: race ready. |

Small guy syndrome in answer to your question. Chip on shoulder forever etc. First cousin of the 335i mob.
Why didn't you just tell him that the 1M is third rate in every way compared to the M3. You could also mention that the 1M is a manky looking Noddy car of a thing and is so badly proportioned that it's like something a child would draw. You can always get other friends. Ps - I'd would have left out that bit if he'd been diplomatic about it. Ken

It got me thinking of what about the M3 is what I love, and what things I wish it had a better:

the 1m owner looks unsecure imo.
I've driven both, a friend has one, fully loaded 1m i have to be honest with you. 1m coupe is like the girl who you wanna f**k badly, whereas M3 is your loyal wife. But my vote goes to m3

I'm intrigued with 1M owners and have been watching them to see what makes them tick. My conclusion is that they are even bigger M whores than M3 owners and are usually slow as hell on the track. The ones who will try their hardest not to point you by until they finally have to accept defeat and realize that they are not faster than a heavy ass M3. Which usually takes about a day. I was there last weekend and on Saturday there was such an individual, a VO 1M with Kentucky plates on what looks like a square setup running
Apex wheels and pretty serious rubber. He wasn't even close, heck there was a 135i ther that was much quicker than him. But he kept trying on Saturday, by Sunday though he had swallowed what was left of his pride and pointed me by with a quickness. Probably convinced himself that I was running on R compound like the M Performance chief instructor did when he was giving rides in the new F10 M5. That guy would have probably ran home crying and put the car up for sale if he knew what little mods I have on my car. |

I've had my 2008 M3 since it had 0 miles on the odometer. It was built to my specifications and have been paid off since 2009. You are right, the M3 is my loyal wife. These other guys are leasing so they have no loyalty. |

OP - I don't own any BMW of any kind, so hopefully my opinion is objective enough
I have to agree with JulieDriving; I think the owner of the 1M is insecure about his car, and worse, lacks knowledge of the other cars that share the BMW - not just the ///M - badge. I don't normally like to get involved in these discussions because they are just plain silly. If I had the funds to get a 1M now, I would. If I had the funds to get an M3 now, I would. If I had the funds to get a 335 now, *gasp* I would. They are all great cars that were purpose-built for what they are. People that buy a BMW as a status symbol or an achievement**, don't deserve the car they drive in my opinion. **This statement does NOT include those of you that worked your ass off, saved your money and ate Top Ramen for a decade to EARN the car you drive now.

He probably got ass-raped on the mark up and was looking to justify the purchase. I would not be surprised if the SA fed him the same line of sh*t when he bought it.
That being said the the 1M is a nice car.

Does this answer your question? Seems to me that the only insults fueled by insecurity is coming from your camp.

Bottom line:
1) comparing highly-modded car to either lightly-modded car or stock is plain stupid; 2) 1m is great car - but definitely no better overall than m3 stock-to-stock (m3 slight advantage here); and 3) (my opinion): 1M ugly as hell - m3 a billion times nicer looking...(aside from 1m owners - anyone disagree with that?) |

Next time somebody tells you the M3 doesn't have enough torque, ask them to guess how much torque an F1 engine makes.

Anyhow I do agree with your sentiment and truly don't find this engine lacks torque at all, and I've owned a pickup with 800 foot pounds at 1,500rpm |

Man, I would love to have both. And an M3 E46. They are such cool cars. And then, whenever I hit this situation, I would have the perfect answer: why are you limiting yourself to one, dude?
And why is the choice the "onesie" vs. the M3 anyway? If the M3 is "too slow, too heavy" isn't a 911 lighter and faster than the onesie? He better dump his onesie now, before a new one comes out, and buy a 911. |
