I agree, had the 1M not been built I would have bought an e90 M3. Sure glad the 1M was born.

Overall the 3 series and now 4 series has grown into what the 5 series used to be. People bought the M3's because they were 2 door Motorsports cars, the same cars that have been raced in competition since the e30 M3 was born.

The 5 series has never been seriously races over the years. The new M4, I guess it will replace the current e90 M3 in the Rolex Sports Cars and DTC racing, maybe not since BMW has now switched over to the Z4 for it's racing team.. Maybe the M2 will take up where the old e90 M3 left off as The preferred race car? The e30 chassis is very big now. Time will tell for sure.
