Sounds like it's his fault for loading his E90 M3 with all that garbage, not the car.

Well he ended up going with a fully loaded 1M so not sure what the difference is. Personally I like my daily driver's being loaded up. At track/autox events I can easily turn them off. If I wanted a light-weight track car I wouldn't have gotten the M3 and I wouldn't get a 1M either.

Alas, I did land a fully-loaded 1M by virtue of circumstance. One dropped in my lap on a dealership showroom floor. I couldn't just let it go. I put it to fate as being the one I was destined to own.
Although, it wasn't a stripper as I was originally looking for, it was nice to jump right in and hit the start button with Comfort Access and have all of the bells and whistles that I have grown accustomed to in my M3. I don't have any regrets on the specs on my M3, it was what I wanted at the time. And now it just isn't what I want anymore. If I couldn't land the 1M, I would have certainly gone for another M3 with 6MT. Ultimately, the switch to manual is the most significant change with which I am very happy.

There's actually quite a few people who sold their M3 for the 1M. They just never posted about it here.
I love the car too. Just not sure it's worth getting rid of an E9x M3 for one. If I'm going to switch cars I'd want it to be a fairly significant upgrade.

Thread should be titled
"Just got neutered!" Just playing. Honestly, except for the size a car with that much bottom end torque would be better for daily commute. + the MPG's

I think the M3 is too big. the 1M is a perfect size for a coupe. Not sure how the 1 series looks like a chick car (maybe the 128i without the M sports package). It has a mean bulldog stance. If anything, the E92 is a chick car with it's elegant/sleek look.

I like the 1m, but not enough to trade my m3 for it, since it has the same engine as my iS, but I'd make the switch if the 1m had a v8
