Possibly they are re-mapping continually and still looking for the right balance?

i'm sure they will get it right.

it's a small sports saloon. BMW should know better than anyone how to get it right. can't recall a "bad" sports saloon released by BMW. heck, even the 2002 turbo even has a small cult these days. my god, what are those crazy fools thinking....it's got a turbo !!!!

So am I but it seems I won't be itching for very much longer as I appear to have been invited by BMW to fly to Germany at their expense this week to try out the 1M coupe!

Very jealous! I look forward to hearing your feedback on here. As you say I am sure its going to be superb.

I bet it feels nothing like a 135 to drive in all fairness.

It does feel different - much focussed, responsive and special. Much improved throttle response especially in the switchable Sport mode.

Retrospectively, this thread is even funnier than it must have been in 2010.

Turned out to be arguably the best M car in decades.
