1m looked good, starting to grow on me now.

Not a bad time either. :smokin:

I knew I made the right decision, getting rid of my E90 M3 Saloon and replacing it with the 1M.

Has the CSL posted a time on normal tyres and cups?

I actually test drove one yesterday and i must say it's a nice piece of kit - just felt right; gear change, seating position, steering wheel feel & size etc. What really surprised me was how it went, you could hardly hear the turbos - the only give away being lag and changing up at 6kish RPM unlike the s54 screamer...

My test drive was in a build up area with the occasional but "busy" country road so didn't really get to stretch her legs.. :bigcry:

Dealer tells me that production may have ended as BMW are no longer taking any more orders - not sure if that was a sales tactic to flog me one of their current allocations....

112 production slots available according to my local dealer yesterday and 7 on the new stock list in UK

1M is awesome bit of kit. Clarkson spot on for once. Refreshing. I'm imagining the car with a small ECU boost tweek. I would be seriously good with 400hp and torque to match.:whistle:

Every time I dismiss the 1M because I need four doors I spend the next 24 hours finding ways to get around that.:hahaha: I know I want it. It also makes sense financially but............................................... ...................:banghead: Driving me crazy.

I said in post a while back that the 1M would be hard to drive quick.
A few mags have backed this thought up, and to look at the Stig driving it, it looked a handful....... just my type of car:smt055

I reckon it would be an awesome car, pity its not dct or I would have had an order in.


I was thinking, 135i dct, lsd, coilovers, remap, would make an interesting little car.

Good compromise Shane.

I'm talking to my dealer tomorrow. Sorting my Dads new 535d. I may get side tracked back onto the 1M.:whistle:
