1M design details win people, especially among the BMW community over time obviously. Not many people talk like how ugly it is etc. anymore (remember first reactions back then?). Other BMW owners modding their cars to have a partial or overall 1M look and also newer BMW models or other brand models appearing with certain 1M-like details (or VO color) is NOT a bad thing at all imo, it is just their way of admiring a special M model, an appreciation of a car which was limited first and out of production now.
A new coleague and his family was invited for a dinner a week ago and when they were leaving I escorted them down to condo's parking place where they saw my cars too; their 12 year old boy immediately recognized the 1M and said "I am riding in this time to time" meaning the computer game
