I never buy anything on looks alone so I still have yet to experience what makes these cars so desirable, maybe some that also loves to drive cars can enlighten me...

I just cant imagine spending almost 100 grand on a car that a 340i blows the doors off

A faaaaar distant 4th, from both a looks, tech, and (especially) driving experience perspective - it was a hell of a bargain in 2011, but it’s expensive now because it’s production numbers were artificially limited. It was an experiment, albeit a cool one, by BMW to see if people still wanted a small RWD M car. Turns out that about 6,000 (I forget the exact number) people worldwide were willing to pay for a MT only car with the 135 engine and bug eyes. 
I’m glad that was the case, because we got the M2, M2C, and I’m sure the M2CS out of that experiment (all better cars in every objective test).
But don’t get it twisted...the 1M is not anywhere near the level of a car that can regularly command $92,000...and fun is a subjective application, not a factual one.  |
1m fanboys in this thread are getting really butthurt. relax guys no one said the 1m is a bad car, but no one can argue it's worth that much money. there are many better cars for better prices. if you love the 1m that is great and good for you for having one. stupid is still stupid.
