I purchased a valencia orange 1M four months ago and despite being a die hard 911 fan I have to concede I find the 1M far more fun and exciting to drive than any previous cars I've owed -including 911's.
Any other 1M owners on here?
Indeed- parked next to my 993 the 1M appears somewhat lacking
in the looks department - but there is no mistaking the performance......
and like the Z3M coupe some folk like the oddball looks.......
I'll bet it's a huge amount of fun, and a lot more inclined to oversteer, powersteer, and generally get in trouble with. I see owning a 1M as a bit like having a wild Venezuelan beauty as your mistress... loud, curvy, all over the place.
I test drove one for a friend some months ago, expecting that I would really like it, but came away somewhat unimpressed. TBH I much prefer the drive in the CSL.
As mentioned by several of the car journalists you do need a fair bit of time in a 1M to get used to it and get it......but either way most would agree a CSL
is a better car- hence a low mileage one is about £70,000.....
Love the 1M as I'm a bit of a BM fan.
Had a 130 and a m135i.
Found the m135i ok at first but the fun soon wore and got bored of it really quickly.
To be honest I'm quite tempted to trade in my 911 for an get an M2.
Someone talk me round
