What are the factors that you are willing to spend several grand or even 10k dollars more to get the M1 other than 135i? (the reason I say $10k more is: you can negotiate price from invoice for 135i, but I think you should thank god if you can buy a M1 just for MSRP) Then, with those factors in mind, you ask yourself the second question (suppose you does not limit yourself to be only buying BMW cars): Within such price range, and with those factors in mind, is M1 the best choice for yourself? Remeber: the higher the price is, the more good performance cars you can choose from. Here I share my case, why I purchase a 135i: because for that price range (around $40k), the 135i is the fastest and has good handeling within any luxury brand cars. So for the M1's price range, will it be the fastest luxury car? will it has the best handling among all competitors? Just my 2cents. |

Same dilemna
I had the same dilemma...I've test driven M3's and 335's and 135's, finally ordered a Le Mans Blue 135 with DCT, nav, "M", everything I want, at $25,000 cheaper than an M3 and I get to pick it up 21 Jun in Munich.
Should I have waited for the mysterious "M1"....I figure I'll get 1.5 years worth of driving excitement with my 135 DCT until the "M1" is actually on sale. Besides, I figure the "M1" price will be $5000-$8,000 more than my 135 anyway. That will buy my ECU, exhaust, rims and carbon fiber....and I'm driving it now. Just my two cents as this is officially my first post...looking forward to learning from you "addicts". |

smart move... there is always something better just around the corner, but if you keep waiting for the next big thing, you will drive yourself crazy.

An Rikx135: Willkommen auf Bimmerpost.
Jetzt auf English: As you have the new 135i DCT with the new N55, your opinion on the car would be greatly appreciated. |

Did I consdier the M1 M-diff and carbon fiber roof ( I did not want a sunroof)? Absolutley. Could I have waited any longer? Absolutley not. After 3 days this holds true. By the way, our knobs are bigger than the M3's. |
