I bought my M3 last year right when the 1M's started selling here in the US. I actually really wanted one for a while until I realized they were going to be impossible to get at a decent price. So I ended up picking up my E90 instead. I think I would have been happy with either car. Each car has its own unique features that makes it cool.
I've been a long time turbo car owner. Been driving evos and DSM's for the last 14 years, so I do miss a turbo car's power delivery. But I love having top end too! I'm guessing the N54's lack of top end can be fixed with larger turbos. Turbo cars appeal to me because they're usually pretty easy to extract extra power via turning up the boost. I salivate at the thought of a driving a turbo car with top end and RWD.

No. Motorsport V8 vs factory-tuned turbo 6. Doesn't mean I don't like the 1M, low production and smaller packaging and more torque = lots of fun.

Don't do a trade. Sell your 1M, make a little money then find a used M3. Be ready for a change, two totally different cars. The 1M was fun at all speeds and the M3 feels more like a GT car. The other change is the luxury you get with the M3, the 1M felt cheap. Make sure you know what you want more.

Amazing car no doubt but I think it's horrendous looking. No doubt it's more than capable but it looks like it was in the star wars trash compactor and R2D2 was late on the shut down.

Cute??? that's just great. Really just find myself wanting the S65 and the roomier interior.

I'd consider that. Not as fast??? They seem to both pretty on par with each other granted the person shifting in the 1M is pretty good comparing with a M3 with DCT. |

If they would have only made the 1M DC-T or even put the same motor in both cars...I personally think the 1M, while rare, does not perform as well all around.
Plus, people don't give you props in a 1M until you explain what the hell it is to them...even then they may not. The other issue is I have an employee lease: HMMMM $680 a month for a 75k ZCP coupe or $1100 a month for a 1M. |

The 1M is a kick ass car, the M3 is just a bit more kick ass IMO. Also, I have a 135i on the way for the wife...nice car but a bit too small for me.

I'd like to drive it for a day, but I love my M more and more everyday.
