There are plenty of things to love with the 1M
What aspects do you hate about it?
Like others here, my minor quibbles fall far from "hate". First, your complaints:
I will start:
1. exhaust drone at 2100-2400 RPM
I know I shouldn't, but I love this. Sort of like the moans of an ecstatic lover.
2. excessive brake dust (problematic for most BMWs)
Exactly...ALL BMWs I think.
3. interior is cheap/drab for a $50K car - just look at the roof panel light, even Hyundai's & Toyota's have better quality
Not the ones I've seen. But to be honest, I don't see inside these kinds of cars very often.
4. alcantara looks out of place, and collects lint/dust bunnies easily
Haven't noticed yet. Hoping for Playboy bunnies.
5. first 30 seconds of "engine start" sounds epic - after that, not so much
Granted. Turbo engines tend to be that way. BMW has done a good job with what they have.
6. factory headlights could be less yellow
7. Gas MPG rating only slightly better than (or same as) the new M5 with +800lbs and +200HP?
Only slightly worse than my 135i, so I'm OK with that.
8. frameless window - personal pet peeve
9. rear seat plastic center console - should just be contiguous seating area instead
I don't expect to use the back seat. Everyone else should be happy I let them in at all.
10. lurking HPFP stigma
What bothers you about your 1M?
