Anyone experienced negative reactions of other road users ?
So far it seems that the 1M is appreciated by many other road users (compliments, thumbs up, smiles, pictures, etc.).
Just wondering whether anyone experienced negative reactions or nuisance because of the 1M itself (i.e. hypothesis of non-disturbing road behavior by the 1M driver - reckless driving is a universal turn off) ? I read at another forum that some cars tend to getting uncomfortably close (glueing) to the 1M's rear end, apparently out of curiosity to have a closer look at 1M, a species rarely seen in the wild... |

I was driving around a few days ago at night and a Subaru STI was standing next to me at a red light and I think he wanted to have a go at my 1M. Since I am still during the break-in period I constrained myself from flooring it and kicking his ass but it was funny to see this guy think for a while he could outrun me.
Besides that I've only seen people turn around and look at the car all day long....and my friends can't stop talking about it....they all love it....but I love it more!!!

I was sitting at a stop light today and a guy in a red 325 turned his head to look and thumbs up. Only problem....he rear-ended the car in front of him. I felt bad for him. Otherwise, lots of stares and thumbs up.

At a red light a beautiful Blue Porsche Turbo Carrera turned left in front of the group of cars I was in and was several blocks ahead by the time it went green. About 3-4 lights he got caught at a light and I eased up to the left on his door. He noticed the car and did a double take and then put his car in reverse and backed his car up at the light and was checking the 1M back and forth looked up at me and we exchanged thumbs up (I was admiring his car as much as he was mine). I was just back from picking my car up from the 1,200 mile service so I was ready to see what it would do but not like this especially against that. I don't street race and he would have smoked me but it was cool to have the car make him back up to check it out.
Other than that a lot of thumbs up from bikers, and people in all kinds of cars. Nothing bad and luckily no racers with fart pipes wanting to race. |

Same here, lots of compliments and a few thumbs up on the road...
Also had a valet (no he did not get to drive it) ask if it was the new "M1"; explained it was a 1M and watched him drool over the car... The funniest one so far, was a state trooper that pulled up right next to me and snapped a picture with his cellphone and then gave me the thumbs up... I have to admit that even though I am not one for street racing, I was forced to teach a quick lesson to a kid in a modded Mustang that kept revving up next to me and finally swerved into my lane to get me to race... I shouldn't have, but since my break in is already done and the oil was warm I switched into MDM, pushed the M button, downshifted and floored it leaving the poor guy in the rear-view mirror. Luckily the trooper that snapped the pic a few days prior was not around. I guess you could call this whole ordeal a negative reaction... |
