Curious to hear your thoughts about M2CS vs 1M. I'm afraid that if I get the M2CS, it will fall short for the same (or similar) reason the M2C did and I will regret not getting the 1M. I loved everything about the M2C, but it was a little numb at times. Maybe more than a "little".

no doubt that the M2CS is a great car... but it will take a long long time before those cars are viewed as investment grade cars. where I think you could easily still get a 1M today that could be a true collectable. how would you feel if next year the 1Ms suddenly jumped to $175 or 200k? you would be kicking yourself for not getting one when you could have...
not that I think that will happen that quickly. but I think its possible in the next 10 years. I remember a host of the Mecum Auctions talked about the 1M as being a car that will go under the radar for years and then rocket up. It was interesting to me since I owned one but I dont own one for the sake of investment. I just love how it drives.
but nevertheless, the M2CS will make you smile everday. the 1M does that as well but I fear everyday that someone will ding me in a parking spot or someone will hit me on the freeway... et cetera. therefore making me not want to drive it.
thats why I have the M2C. I can just drive and enjoy. |
Exactly! The one thing I'm jealous about M2s is that you can enjoy it and not as special so that is fun. I also stress about 1M too. I still drive it but definitely more preoccupied than if I drove an M2. I totally get that.
