I, personally, find the 1M to be more fun than the E9x M3 in all situations. In day to day street driving, there is no comparison.

I suspect that the M division managed to dial-in some of the 1M fun factor into the upcoming halo cars.

After all, as Oz and others have pointed out, the 1M was the Proof Of Concept for the new Turbo-M cars (yes, I know the X cars had blown engines but let's recognize them for the prudent business decisions they were)


A lot of complaining here, as usual.

BMW AG started building turbocars before M GmbH existed (2002 Turbo), the legendary M1 had 277PS @ 6500rpm as I recall and the famous E30 M3 had 200PS @ 6750rpm.
