Dackel PS: I have no idea IF BMW will offer any "extra" color options for the 1M. Does anyone else know anything? |

I think it's incorrect to say Scott is way off the mark here. I am sure it was correct as it was published. Just like some changes from the artist didn't make it to the car due to aero, these stuff didn't make it due to budget.

Statements that Scott made when he thought something was going to happen because of what ever was being told to him at the time didn't come about. Like these. Quote:
None of these are available but were said to coming. Obviously he thought so at the time. But it didn't happen. For whatever reason. Is it correct to say he was off base, missed the boat, was off the mark, was wrong, mistaken, and didn't predict accurately, Or think its incorrect to say this.

I agree, what Scott knows is not what BMW knows...

Yet, as a ex-marketing man myself, the distinct bitter flavor of overpromising, and then underdelivering, lingers.....
You can go back in various threads and spot the exact moment the "we had so little time and money for this project"-argument first raised it's head... Followed later on by: "But wait, the next M1/M2, now THAT will be something special...." |

What Scott26 had said was basically what they had planned, then they found out that that carbon roof, and carbon that, and all the personalization would spiral the budget out of control. And possibly why there is a limited number as well. Of course the next gen 1M or M2, or whatever it will be called, will be a fully funded effort... Scott gave what he had, and did his job of hyping the car up...and as your handle is "Future M1 Owner" (which should be changed to 1M, BTW), Scott did his job... |

Fair enough, but why give us information that isn't actually approved in the first place? Sounds like it was an idea that just never went ahead. I'm all for inside info, as long as it is close to reality. This was clearly not.
Like when he said the BMW execs said there wasn't enough power? What happened to that? Only a small increase from the 135i is far from that too. I'm not knocking Scott, my point is just that everything he says is not guaranteed. |

I was finally turning around and thought BMW is doing something absolutely terrific on the 1M after kind of weird, amateurish marketing campaign on it then I realized this has been cancelled. What a bummer. Seriously. I am officially out. Going to save my pennies to buy a GT-R. Someone on the NAOGTR forum was liquidating his for 50 and someone else sold his with 30k for 54k.
