[champignon]

I have a 1M (on a lift in my garage right now as it is not driven in winter), and have traded my 135i Coupe towards a new M2, to be delivered in late March.

I don't expect the M2 to be as good as the 1M, however I will be able to drive it with impunity, since it is replaceable, not something I can say for the 1M.

I do think I will prefer it to the 135i Coupe I traded in towards it; perhaps not by enough to justify the cost of the changeover, but then life is short and you can't take it with you.
