My favorite thing about that car is its color. LOVING IT. And the taillights are sex. In fact, it looks really good from the back. I still can't seem to find it in myself to like the front of a 1 series... But the wheels are nice ;) still love that color!

I was pretty taken aback at how it compares sizewise to an E30 M3. I should have known though.

I think this is a good move by BMW. My only complaint would be, that its a bit overpriced IMO

[pyreguy]

I'm going find me some stats on this car. Inquiring minds and whatnot...

I may be in the minority on this one, but I find the 1 series and this ///M fugly.

The whole 1 platform just looks squashed and bottom heavy to me.

I thought they would grow on me over time, but I find them to be amongst the least visually pleasing bimmers ever made.

[pyreguy]

If they would do something with the front of the car I could probably like the 1 series. They just always have a surprised look on their face to me because of the tall headlights. The proportions are whack. I love me some small cars though in general...

I agree completely. The entire 1 series lineup does nothing for me. But The 1M just looks like it would give you ze goose pimplez every time you get in it.

Gonna look sick....drawped....

[pyreguy]

It will look constantly shocked at the drop. If the 1 looks surprised, then the ///M has a look that says "holy crap, I just did that"

Agree. The front end kills it for me.

1 Series M, Press release now posted in the off topic section

[Alphatek45]

Love the color. Looks kinda ricey to me though, especially the front.

[thesixsins]

I wonder what size and offsets the wheels will be... Could be a nice OEMish upgrade!

[az3579]

They looked like regular CSL-type wheels to me; that's not much of an upgrade because it's the same as what we have now. lol
I think that front end is downright menacing, in a good way.

[zhpnsnv]

I could definitely see myself moving out of the ZHP for one of these in a 3-4 years. Definitely. ZHP will be well up in the high mileage range by then and this freaking thing is already tempting me.

Alpine white with the black interior/orange stitching/alcantara. MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Give us a cloth option dammit!

I just saw this comment and personally have you say, you could do worse.
I think the E65/66 7 series is much, much, much worse, by a very long shot.
Not a huge fan of the E60 either; I liked it at first but over time I thought it looked worse and worse (the refreshes made it look better, but in my mind I liked it less overall).


That is one 1er that I would DEFINITELY consider buying used as a track toy.

I agree with you, but I still don't like 'em. I don't like most of the stuff that Bangle had a hand in designing...
