Until we get to drive the car, the 1m coupe's achilles heel is potentially the N54.
different size, different weight, different types of engine...you just made my point.

but seriously, would any current m3 owner trade in their E9x for this (if they could only own 1car for ALL of their current driving needs)? don't get me wrong i think the 1m would make a "fun" second car, but it seems like most people are getting excited just because it is a new "m" offering (i'm actually more interested in the next m5, myself)...
