As far as how the M1 will compare to the M3.....part of me says who cares. If I want another 2-door, I will likely go for the M1. If I need to do a 4-door I'll have to decide between the M3 and X5-M. Honestly the X5 would really suit me and I love it, but I wash my car a lot and am afraid of having something that big to wash every week. It would decrease my desire to modding which in my case is a definite plus!! On the other hand, if I can use some of my current mods on the M1 (AST suspension), that might make it very tempting. I really detest the notion of people buying these cars as status symbols. I don't care what anyone thinks about my car and how it relates to my personality. I buy my car because it moves me emotionally. These cars are too expensive for the emotional element to be absent. Sure, there are people out there that have the attitude and give us BMW owners a bad name, but those people are everywhere and drive other cars as well. M3 guys looking down on M5 owners and vice versa? Really? Are they all so close minded that they cannot appreciate the other car? I just don't get that mentality. At any rate, I look forward to seeing what happens at BMW. In the meantime, I'm going to try to enjoy my 135i and E30 M3 as much as I can!!!

Interesting. This comparison always fails. To compare both cars it should be stock vs stock in the way they came from the factory. If you're running a modded 135 then it should run against a modded M3. Of course, if you mod a 135 it will go faster and can get you close to the performance level of the M3. Modifying these cars can potentially cause problems such as decreasing relialbility of the engine, warranty issues etc. The way these cars come from the factory are in perfect form. The M1 looks to be a nice upgrade from the regular 1 series and will be a great addition to the M series. The important thing is to enjoy what you have as there is always something new coming around the corner.

M1 is likely to present a different niche/set of benefits to the driver... who knows what yet. Either way, I'm sure it will be beautiful - I'm sticking with my E92 M3.
