A thousand apologies for being so absent from this forum in recent years, some of you will probably have bumped into me when I was setting up Drivers Republic and it's been a busy time ever since.
Anyway, enough of the history lesson. The real reason for this post is to let you guys know that we'll be spending a few hours with the production 1 Series M Coupe in just under 40 hours from now and I'm running a thread over on SkiddMark to solicit your questions and any facts you'd like me to uncover on your behalf.
We'll be doing a photoshoot plus interviews with BMW personnel, and I'm also taking a prospective buyer along (he's already got his name on the list) who will also provide the customer's viewpoint. We'll have all the spec information on Thursday afternoon (UK time), with the embargo lasting until 11:59pm (GMT), but I'm planning on staying up and plugging myself into Twitter until around 2am (GMT), so if you've any further questions that you'd like to ask then feel free to drop me a tweet.
You can either leave a comment on SkiddMark, or tweet me at

I'll be a bit busy during the next few days so cannot promise to be back on 1 Series Addicts in the interim, but I'll try and gather up your comments from this thread or perhaps someone would be kind enough to summarise them and then post them en masse over at SkiddMark.

We met with Dr Segler earlier in the year and spoke at length about this new M Coupe, so can also add that perspective if you'd like to explore further.
I can't wait to sit in the full production car, so let me be your eyes and ears.
Steve.
