To me it is actually bad news. I was hoping for a limited production run that would have a potential for an 'iconic' symbol say 2 decades later (similar to E30). Flooding the market with 1 ///Ms won't do buyers a favor, especially for people like me that would consider holding on to a 'special' car for a long long time. This was one of many reasons I opted for an RS4 instead of an M3 (e.g. total number of imported RS4s in the US over 2 yrs equaled 1/3 of annual sales of M3s which of course will be produced for 4-5 yrs).
For people that want to pick one up in the secondary market, this is good news, you will have plenty to chose from. And yes, dealers should not be in the driver's seat and have the pricing leverage if BMW builds as many as it wants. I just hope I don't start seeing as many 2012 1 ///Ms as Evos, STIs, R32s, etc.
