Newly arrived 1M
Discussion
Just picked up a 1M last week and having now driven a few miles (800 to be exact), I must say I'm rather smitten with it already.
I drove a new 235i to Le Mans and back for the 24 hour race and thought it was a superb car with incredible performance. After some research when I got back, the 1M looked to be more of the same but with added hardcore benefits. How right I was - stonking torque from 2500 rpm onwards, the car is struggling to maintain traction even on dry roads in 4th and 5th gear. Fantastic noise, intuitive handling, well damped - an absolute pocket rocket which wants to have fun all the time - you can't help yourself. Having come from a Porsche 997.1 C4S, the 1M is far quicker, feels considerably more special and has better balance for typical UK driving. One very happy man!!
