Manliness of 1M

http://thechronicleherald.ca/wheelsn...manly-machines

The media is still talking about the car
Quote:
BMW 1M Coupe: Manly cars don’t need a V8. Six cylinders and two turbochargers suffice here—and the 1M’s bulging, muscle-bound body and exhaust note do the rest. You get well over 300 horsepower, widened fenders, big tires, lowered suspension and no B.S.. This is about as purely athletic as compact cars get. The 1M only comes with a manual gearbox, furthering its manliness.

This is one of those cars that thanks you for pushing it hard. It’ll get the hearts of enthusiasts pumping faster than eating a family-sized poutine, and the performance is so obnoxious, it’ll make you want to drive like you’re from Montreal. So watch for speeding tickets. It’s ultimately the look and driving experience that get the testosterone flowing, here.

She obviously realised it was too manly for her and so sold it
