Yea unfortunately I didn't change my mind on color until after production started. Wishing I had AW now but mine will be BSM for sure.

I'd trade the 330i and keep the Evo but that's just me...if you have no choice or that's your wife's car then the 1M is a great car to keep a lot of postive the aspects of the Mitsu but more refined. I did my research too and decided the 1M is probably the only realistic choice to replace it. good luck!

status is now en route. I asked my dealer for the name of the ship. did anyone else's just change as well and knows the name of the boat headed to baltimore, maryland?

Go to marinetraffic.com and type in Florida Highway as ship I have a 1m at VPC Brunswick and that was the ship and it stopped at Baltimore en route.

Actually, the boat is called the "TORRENS" and left Bremerhaven on the 18th of April. It is currently and England and is expected to arrive the first week of May.

wow i'm so jealous. I've had my order down since the beginning of March.
Please update when you get the car! I too ordered BSM and I'm very curious about Alpine White hahaha
Do you think its even possible to switch now since it hasn't even started production?
I'd love to hear what you think of the color and maybe compare it to the White if you get a chance to see it

You should be able to change specs up until about a week before production starts.

Why would "very rich people in Miami" want a 1M? If someone has $50k in cash to drop on a never released car, sight unseen, then I don't see how they are in the market for this particular vehicle...go to "The Collection" and have some real fun.

i'm a construction worker in canada where my 1m will cost me 72000 canadian$.....i will be layin down 50000$ ish on it cause i feel like it and not cause i'm rich ! hehehe..

The M button makes a very noticable difference, and with the DSC fully off she is quite tail happy. already had a full opposite lock moment after giving it 1/3 throttle in 2nd around 3k rpm. full video review coming tomorrow, it's too late now.

Congrats - I got my VO 1m yesterday and couldn't be happier. Black looks fantastic as well.

so far my only gripe is that the shifter is too low and the throws are short and a bit disconnected, but I'm sure the trans needs to break in. also, the clutch lacks any feel, especially coming from my Evo's Exedy Twin Disc HD. still trying to figure out a proper seating position and combination, but I do like how low the seats go.

[l888apex]

and I didn't have them do any of the PDI except inspecting the electronics, so I got to take all the protective shipping materials off. that was fun haha

[torquedemon]

Wow Congrats, I am so happy to finally see a BSM delivery...I have my BSM on order and am still waiting on a production number

I cant wait to see the videos and some of that drift action. this video -

Is a nice example.

Thanks for your initial impressions of the car I'd love to hear more.
