THIS.
The 1M just dominates, wherever it is.

In the showroom, in a driveway, in a parking lot, on the street - it takes over the area and won't let go of the attention. This is true regardless of whether the viewer is interested in cars or not. I've had several women stop, look back, and comment on the car in the first week; some of them have left their boyfriends in coming back to look over the car. I've seen kids and young men turn corners, back up, get out of their cars, take photos, etc.

It just doesn't look like anything, even (especially) BMW. It doesn't run like anything else. Even BMW. An unreserved success in every way.

BTW - if anyone is still deciding - go VO. The car requires it.
