BMW 1M in Valencia Orange
Discussion
I picked it up yesterday and I'm totally smitten. I have desperately wanted one of these since the launch last year but couldn't justify it then so I have waited. I can really see what all of the reviews of these mean: it is simply awesome to drive. Very fast (fast enough for me anyway) and incredibly well balanced. It feels such a "together" car and immense fun to throw around aided also by the fact that it's so small. I think I may be keeping this for a long time....
Oh, ignore the plate. It is the previous owners and will be going back.

The other one is a 120d MSport. I've always enjoyed it but it obviously isn't in the same ball park as the 1M. The MSport manages to combine a far harsher ride than the 1M (possibly the runflats play a part) with less confidence in the corners. For what it is, it's a good car but not a great one.
I used to have a car in a very similar colour - burnt orange or summat. My bro called it dog st metallic brown.
Personally I like it. Then again, I saw a 1M in white the other day and was rather taken with it.
I've always thought that if you're gonna have a fast noisy car it should be in a flash noisy colour. I'd take my 911 (if I sell one of the kids) in mint green or a bright blue colour, not silver or grey....

Thanks for all the positive comments. The only three colours 1Ms are made in is white, black or orange. I don't generally like white cars, I have a black 120 Coupe already and I want something different. The orange seems to change in different lights from very bright to rust colour. The more I see it the more pleased I am with the colour.
