We picked up the wifes 1M this week.

Words fail me, so so much more impressed than i thought i would be.

I have had various M cars over the years and this one has blew me away so far.

I just want to drive it non stop (when i can force it away from the wife).

I hadnt test drove one before buying which was a gamble but it was worth the risk.

Anyone local'ish to me who perhaps is thinking about trying to get hold of one, by all means give me a shout for a closer look or a run.

My brother has an E46 CSL so plan to do some videos etc with it.

The little one loves it


First fuel up on the way home from the dealerships

Can't believe they didn't give you a full tank of fuel FOC.

When the salesman told my wife "I never got a drive in one" she replied "sure you will get a spin when you take it to the petrol station to fill it up" after a long awkward pause he lifted the keys and went to the petrol station.

Don't think he had a choice to be fair laugh

White looks great BTW thumbup

Yeah, very jealous.

I love the shot of the back of it. It looks so much better in white than I thought it would.

Looks very nice, are the DVLA really set up to switch plates from one car to another in a day?

Looks superb.

I'll be the only the only pistonheader in the whole world to say the only thing missing for me is the option of a DCT box. I loved my old SMG M3, transformed the car over the manual I had before that. (in fact I might even be buying another one as we speak!)

I traded the X1 in against the 1M.

Transfer is done, the Garage had it done the morning i collected the car.

Lovely mate - love one of these as a stablemate to CSL. White one with some subtle M livery like the old 2002 turbo's smile
