VO 1M is mine!

after 3 years of agony, pain, searching, lusting, and countless issues in obtaining a 1M; I picked up mine today as I traded my 9 month old 135is in for it. It is my daily driver. Like full on sun-rain-snow-ice-morning-night-daily-driver!

I drove it today for 3 hours and I am in fucking heaven. The best car I have ever driven....and I'm still kind of just in a state of disbelief that I even have one!

Thanks for answering my bumbling questions in the past and I will likely have more as time goes on.

The 1M feels sooooo special. Pretty amazing they captured such a feeling....

Congratulations. Enjoy it in good health and start planning road trips already! The 1M community is the best and you will find being a member here as a rather pleasant part of the unique experience of owning one of this very special Frankenstein of a car.

Congrats IEDEI. If I'm not mistaken you had a 135i? Day and night difference or?

Cheers

Definitely a difficult call financially for anyone that already owns an E82 (especially only 9 months old) to make the jump to a 1M but it definitely is worth it... Every M car is.... Glad you made the switch quickly...! M cars are fantastic.. and among all M cars. the 1M is a *very* special car... Congratulations!

Be sure to get a proper set of second wheels with all season or even full snow tires and additional snow equipment as needed.. You are well on your way to discovering that the beauty of M cars is that you *can* drive them every day... That's what they were made for!

Congratulations matey. Enjoy the new steed.

They are incredible cars. I've had mine almost a year now, coming up for its third birthday, and I love it more each time I drive it. BMW produced something truly special in the 1M. Something that can only really be appreciated through ownership.

God they look good without a front plate. A luxury us Brits can only dream of!
