Look at the 1M, there are quiet some issues, lets see;

-Steering squeaking problems
-Front tire rubbing against wheel housing
-Minor cracks on upper stubby of the covering part side mirrors
-Droning sound sound @ 2000-2300RPM
-HPFP failure
-Popping/cracked charge pipe
-Waste gate rattle

To name a few

Is the 1M a bad quality car? It has it flaws, yes, but still a jaw dropping driving machine.

The 1M overall performance is superb, I still can defend the 1M ! So is the JRZ-RS1

I think you are reaching with most of the list of items. they are not common issues for most. The two most relevant are:

Droning sound @ 2000-2300RPM
Popping/cracked charge pipe - ( for some, not a problem for me thus far )

Either way.. I'll wager that none of these items have caused a single 1M owner to go back to the dealer THREE TIMES for a correction. The HPFP issues on other 1 series models are the closest to your JRZ experience.

happy to hear you love the JRZs however, and certainly.. I understand the gist of what you are saying... clearly for you, the overall experience is still positive despite all the issues.
