I've done 5000 miles in my 1M.
She had 19,000 on the clock when I bought her.........
IMHO there is not another car to compare for sheer performance coupled with practicality.
Definitely far better for my needs than the Porsche 991 I had previously.
Worth 40 to 50 odd grand any day......

Picked mine up from a full detail and ceramic-coating yesterday. Decision time, move it on or enjoy it for another year...?

so N54 engine better but still turbo lump
EPAS vs HPAS
short wheel base actually more fun, M2 not really long either
brakes need upgrading on 1M
looks are subjective in any case, but if I was modding, I'd start with an M car without so much $$. e.g. it's v8 brother, the E90 m3
I ought to drive one after passing up when I had the opportunity to buy new. The side by side comparison with the M2 would be nice. BTW, Actually haven't read any direct comparo. Anyone knows?

1M is a special car , I have had many cars and I can't think of anything to replace it. I've been to Europe twice in it and going to Le Mans this year. Maybe see some other 1Ms on route.
Agree still got mine owned since new, a keeper. Fabulous car even preferred it to a GT4. cc3 said:

Disappointing car for me the 1M, I bought mine 6 months ago from a main dealer as i've always loved the look of the it. No doubt it is a good car but i've never got to the point of loving the 1M so am dropping it with a dealer next week and changing to a C63 until (hopefully) the M2 CS/CSL comes along.

Is dealer not going to have you over trading in. I can't imagine that being best way to sell. Still love my E30 M3 and greatly enjoyed having a friends E46 M3 for a few days recently, so it's not that i've gone off M cars, just never clicked with the handling or power delivery of the 1M.
