1M Featured in V-Power Magazine

Nice article if you can hold of the latest V-Power 'V-Zine' - featuring a 1M on remote road in Norway - the Lysebotn Road. Also on web link www.shell.co.uk/driversclub

Wish I could financially justify swapping my 3.5 year old 135i for a 1M - but I can't!

North Wales probably too clogged with journos testing cars nowadays, had to move to Scandinavia! Great scenery though. Another road to add to the list of must dos some time?

Nice find. With roads and vistas like that I'd be willing to drive to Norway!

Just do it, you will only regret not changing. I'm sure once you have got over the financial side, you will love the car. The 1M is a very special car...
