Would you replace 1M with... ?

Some people are fine with replacing the 1M with the M2, I would guess most wouldn't be - so I say keep it and save up a "maintenance fund" for the odd ball "turbo is gone, needs replacing" kind of deal

I'm hanging onto mine for as long as I can (maybe another 15+ years) and any other car will be in addition to it. I'm hoping I will always have the funds to maintain it in fairly good if not great shape (mechanically)

I'm not selling either! It's just that everyone that said something only comes up with boxster/cayman option which in my books are not the same type of car.

m4 is way too large, m2 I haven't driven yet so the 1m still is king for me

Sadly thats not the case.

Because I own a 918 as well .. but unfortunately the only local dealer in my country hasnt been able/not given a car. There were like 10-12 people who have payed advance just to book the car and get an allocation but now the dealer is having to call each customer one by one to redeam the payment and been told "Sorry ! No 911 R" .. Me as a 918 owner took advantage and thought I should be a priorety customer (like you said) but was surprised that the dealer said we have not been given any 911 R at all ! In the middle east its a very low count strangely considering the strong market for such cars.

The whole story behind the 911 R is a strange one and allocations have been already managed internally back in Germany in the Porsche HQ .

Unofficial story is that the 911 R were given to dealers with "good 911 sales" which I call is full BS. This 911 R marketing is very bad reputation for Porsche as it has disappointed many fans and die hard enthusiasts like me to go for one.

But Im still holding my hopes up at getting one through a dealer in Germany.. *fingers crossed*

I love the 1M and I like the fact that there are only a limited number of them. Subsequently, because of the limited nature of the car (700 worldwide) I would find it hard not to buy an M4 GTS as it is the fasted production car BMW has ever built. Much faster than the stock M4. It's downside is it won't be as functional as the 1M because there really is no back seat. The GTS is a street legal race car. The 1M feels like one. Keep your 1M and buy the GTS.

As a daily I wouldn't get the GTS. If you have another car to daily I'd say sure!

Yep 911R for me, but given that they will be four times the price...or more and are all sold that won't be happening anything soon.
In the price range there is nothing I would swap my 1M for.

I'll hang on to the 1M until there is a decent electric replacement on the market at a price I can afford, i.e. performance-oriented, has fewer than three rows of seats, and doesn't look like clowns are about to come out of it.
At this point the list only includes used Tesla Roadsters, but that's a bit too small for my needs. Perhaps the new AA-Class Mercedes: http://jalopnik.com/saturday-night-l...pow-1771490603

Fantastic.

Just need a pic w the 1M in there, to help self-convince ourselves that a 1M belongs in such company. 😉
