My complaint is that BMW will not make this a pure M car like they are touting it. They will not make it quicker than the M3 and therefore they are not doing what they can to make it the best 1M they possibly can. They are compromising.
Now a 2 door 1M would be something...

This is an awesome idea. I saw and M3 with that interior and it looks really cool. Carbon fiber roof is another must have.

It's just a rumor until I can drive it

I can't really complain about something that's not finished.

To me, LSD, M3 suspension bits and tuning, badder brakes and a non-runflat, slightly larger, squarer tire setup would be enough to meet my expectations.

Additional power, interior accessories and sheetmetal changes would be a bonus, but if it is more about these things than the suspension, braking and differential changes I expect, I'll probably be disappointed.

"It's about feel" Great!!!! I'd like to feel the wind go across my hair at 60 mph in 4 seconds.

BMW has replaced the "ultimate driving machine " with JOY!!!! Are they planning on using " FEEL' to replace speed?

how can there be legit complaints when we havent even gotten any official details about the car besides some teaser pics and a lot of speculation by everyone and their brother...

I will reserve judgement or complaint until there is an official spec to base it on.

+1 Sorry to dig up my own thread...

I'm super interested in DCT. I love my current car and loved my E46 M3. Times have changed and my wife needs to be able to drive my car. I've tried teaching her but she's too aware of how much I care about my car and is afraid she'll "mess it up". DCT would solve that for me and be something new and exciting for me at the same time.

Other than that, I'll take what BMW makes. I'm super pumped about this car. I would've bought this had it been availble at the U.S. release of the 1er.

If they did but sold it for $75k, would you buy one?

I meant that it will be hard to get because of price/exclusivity
