No. I don't like the ZCP wheels, so it doesn't bother me at all. But I bet folks with the ZCP wheels will be fuming.

I'm getting ZCP wheels on my order and don't really mind if the 1M is getting them too

I think it's kind of lame personally and I don't have ZCP wheels or any plans to buy them.

Umm, because it's an M. What were they supposed to use? 7er parts??

That's not the point of the car. BMW wanted to build this car as quickly and as cheaply as possible. That means raiding the parts bin and strictly limiting the amount of new component testing. Everything that goes into the 1M is pulled from an existing BMW car, primarily the M3 (seats, steering wheels, tires, wheels, LSD, suspension components, etc) and the 135i (modified N54).

Agree. There probably isnt an original part on this car..Not that there needs to be since the 3 and 1 share a lot of the same components. I just dont know what took so long for this thing to come out. Its not like a lot of R and D had to be done.

All I am saying is it would have been nice if they stayed exclusive to the M3.

Do you not see the irony in your own protest? IOW, why not a similar post from someone enraged that the ZCP wheels are going to be available to someone like you (or me) who does not have the actual ZCP package. Shouldn't they be exclusive to that package only, not just any ricer that wants to slap them on some tractor-height 6MT '08 M3?? Yeah, I know you've got an '11, but not a ZCP.

You missed the point. It's still an M3.

The point of this thread wasn't to whine - dear god people, lighten up.

Doesn't bother me, increases the probablility that I can find replacements in the future when the impossible inevitably happens.

The 1M is not likely to be all that lightweight really.

How an M3 is boring is beyond me.

SleepyE90 · 08-31-2010, 07:44 PM

I'm just pissed they didnt put the S54 in it...
Scott even said that it was used for test mules but was deemed to heavy... WTF?

FruitCake · 08-31-2010, 07:48 PM

im mad brah

kmarei · 08-31-2010, 07:51 PM

not as mad as the people who bought a 335iS
they stole the engine from that

Maybe you never owned an e46 M3, but that car scared the crap out of me and challenged me far more than this one. I just need something more visceral. Maybe it's mod-time.

OMG!!! Dude, you and I must have linked telepathy. When I test drove the E92 M3, before I placed my order, I felt that the car was WAY more refined than the E46 M3; maybe TOO refined. The car was extremely smooth in ride and the DCT is just too refined for its own good. The car felt way more civil and mature compared to the E46 (I have owned two of them and my last one was a Comp pkg). I told myself that it is time to move on and get something new, so I went ahead and placed my order. However, I am just hoping that I will just fall in love with the car over time.

I really wish the E46 CSL was released in the U.S., because I would jump all over the opportunity to get one. Hell, I'd even take the GTS.

I test drove a 2010 GT-R, and if what you want are those noises, vibrations, and rumbles, then it just may be your car. However, the unpredictability part, well, the GT-R is WAY too advanced/smart for that; it drives like a video game.
