Same here. The moment I drove my 1M off the dealership lot I harkened back to the first time I drove a '74 2002 tii (a friend's car) in 1974. It was like no other car I had ever driven. It felt tight, responsive and connected to the road.
My 1M is the most intuitive car I have ever driven. It is as if you need only think which way you would like to go - and how fast - and the car complies, almost effortlessly.
I've got an E36 M3 with a heavily modified engine (custom ground cams, racing pistons, ported and polished head, oversize valves and injectors, headers, etc.) and it is fun to drive, but I have only put 700 miles on it since picking up the 1M last October, despite thinking I would keep it for my daily driver. The 1M has a little over 5,000 miles on it.
I didn't buy the 1M to be a show-off, but I gotta admit it is fun to have the young guys who know what it is come up and ask me if they can take a picture of it.
