What I dont get is......why start with a super duper rare 1M?
If you don't "get" why then this car then is evidently not for you. A BMW M1 is super duper rare. A Ferrari 250 GTO is super duper rare. A Koenigsegg Agera R is super duper rare. A BMW 1M is not.PHMatt said:
Basically, what they have done, is deprive some one of having one in the future.
With the amount of work that's gone in to that hardly anything of the 1m will really remain. So why not start with a 118i instead and leave the 1M's to people who want them?
Originally BMW planned on only making 2,700 but then after receiving a favourable response lifted the production cap deciding that they would sell as many as people wanted to buy. In other words, everyone who wanted to buy one has already done so. With the amount of work that's gone in to that hardly anything of the 1m will really remain. So why not start with a 118i instead and leave the 1M's to people who want them?
Following your logic people shouldn't be allowed to modify their own property?

As for the numbers of 1M's made, many countries had a cap like the UK, 450, US, 740 and so on.
do you need a base 1m or you can get a 118 chassis and let them do the conversion to panels and engne and mechs...

Only? 600bhp through the rear wheels only in a car thats not designed for it, seems pretty quick to me.
Dont know why people get so hung up on 0-60times means very little in the real world

Probably the limit with the RWD and short wheel base chassis.
Short wheelbase means more load transfer to the rear and actually helps with acceleration.So if it had a longer wheelbase it would be even slower to 100km/h.
No doubt the limiting factor here would be the tyres, with that much power it could probably spin them in 3rd.
The original version could probably spin them in 1st, so if you already cant put the power down what would extra power do? nothing as proven in this case.
Or... E46 with a v10: http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/use...
