Thanks for the info.

So probably BMW considers that the last produced 1M rolling out of the Leipzig plant a couple of days ago was the final curtain call for the 1M Project.

True that the 1M market is certainly a limited one, but BMW should reasonably know that - given the tremendous success of the 1M as regards enthusiasm and sales - it would be a sure-fire hit to commercialize a 1M Performance Exhaust (conceived and produced by a reputable exhaust manufacturer who is authorized to laser the ///M logo on the exhaust tips).

According to the (hollow?) marketing baseline "M is the strongest letter in the world". However, regarding the 1M exhaust, "M" rather seems to stand for "Muffled"...
