I picked up my 1M yesterday. I bought it from a guy who was buying an SUV due to the impending arrival of twins. To be honest I came across the car by accident. I have not stopped grinning ever since. I cant actually believe how good this car is. Very very happy here (even though I did pay over the odds for it - but hey, that's Singapore for you)

Parking far away you say? Last night I drove 1M to dinner, when I'd finished parking after arriving, my wife enquired "why didn't we just leave the car at home and walk? It would have been closer!!"
I just smiled as I walked backwards in the direction of our chosen venue. |

I am with this car for the long haul . . . I knew that going in. It was the only way I could justify paying more than sticker for the car, fortunately only 5k over. I had never paid full sticker for a car, let alone over sticker. I felt butt-hurt for a day, then got over it.

After just over two years, I can safely say I am far more in love with the 1M than I was when I got it.
It's not the kind of car you learn from (I don't feel as if it's taught me anything new like I used to after every drive with my 993-TTS), but it's so big-hearted, so friendly, so predictable, that I just have a blast every time I take it out. Slippery roads? Sideways. Roundabouts? Sideways. But the engine, though it lacks the crazy top-end of my old S54, is just so tractable. Yes, I can hoon it, but lazy? Shove it in sixth and drive it like an auto. But that's not a normal day. Get in: M button, TC off. This car is so easy to drive at the limit, it's all so accessible, that I cannot think of any car this side of a 458 that I'd prefer... Best car BMW's ever made? One of, for sure... |

Try spinning out 450o then counter spinning 270o at over 100mph. Everytime I am on circuit, my overwhelming emotion is fear |

Would that be "1 Emvy"? perhaps?
