Artemis, if today's kids choose the M135i over a 1M after that test you suggest mainly because it is a more eco-friendly alternative than we may have some hope for the future! Ironically, if they do so we also won't have much hope left for fun on this planet.
We all know that 1M is a relic, one of the last examples of a dying breed, a member of an almost extinct species. That's also why we like it this much and no one should judge Sean Connery because he is the "hairy chested" Bond
