Superb car. I would love a 1M, in that colour as well, looks superb.
Whats with M3, the previous owner a bit weird
?
I have to say at Sunday service a white one was parked next to a E90 M3, the 1M looked more mean and made the M3 look tame. Cracking car
Thanks. The previous owner apparently usually has M3s but she made an exception for the 1M. She has gone back to an M3 again now. My gain Whats with M3, the previous owner a bit weird

Nice car but this one also suffers from terrible paint finish as do all BMWs, look at the paintwork above the M badge on the side of the car the "orange peel" is dreadfull.
Not having a go as I also have this with my BMW . And BMW do not give a s
t about the finish on the cars wether it is £20k or £60k.

That is surprising, but don't understand the need for this post, apart from making yourself feel better......??Not having a go as I also have this with my BMW . And BMW do not give a s

just don;t understand the hype
it's an old model with a bit more power
and the amount of cars that are better for 40k is simply huge

What is this? Sloppy paint finish? Factory overspray?
It's just the way the paint is applied in the factory, all BMWs are like this 
the surface is basically riddled with peaks and troughs, as mentioned earlier a wetsand is the solution.
I ws shocked to see £105k worth of spankers C63 with exactly the same issue, I'd have expedted the AMG Performance center to have had it sorted, I guess folks aren't really that bothered with it
Love this car though!

I didn't expect YOU to understand ..... and why would it make me feel better?? just highlighting the poor paint finish you can expect on new BMWs today.I have a new BMW and it also suffers from terrible paintwork. I like the OP car and the colour just not the paint finish.
But thank you for your valuable contribution.

As others have said, have you driven one? I thought long and hard about buying this car and possible alternatives. I really couldn't think of anything else that came close for the price so I'd be interested to hear whats on your huge list. The only other serious contender for me was an early Aston V8 Vantage but as a daily driver this is the better option.it's an old model with a bit more power

Edited for typo.
