When the executive team came back from wherever they had gone for two weeks, the car was built from a functional standpoint, but didn't look very good. They were handed keys, took a drive, and then basically came back with ear-to-ear grins and said "fine, we'll let you build some".
It was the function that led to its production. The way it evolved, including its "parts-bin" character are exactly what was needed. The executive team didn't have a chance to ruin it.

BMW demographics research seems to be a self-fulfilling prophecy - most people are buying X so we will make more X even though it's clear that Y is a better car.

Someone does a video. Claims some M car is best ever made to get clicks and ratings. The faithful argue and debate for days to follow ... why ... because there are so many great M cars there
is no one that is THE best. If 10 different people were told they could have one and only one M car they wanted, there would be multiple different vehicles picked. There may be a top 10 list but no way is there 1 best ever made. Therefore all video review talking heads should agree to say "one of the best M" cars but not "the best M" car ever made when they want heap praise on their personal favorite ride. |

That's my car.
I contacted Doug to do a video of my 1M after I learned it was his favorite car he's ever driven. I've seen him a couple of times since, he's a great guy. We may do more videos together of my other cars. my YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWT...iVSFmK7nz6Q5_w my website http://www.glennscarcollection.com/

The 1M is a great car, my sons dentist has a Dinan Stage II one, sounds awesome. The Valencia Orange is the colour to have if you can. Not sure about Doug, but one question I have is he colour blind? Seems to be off on his colours (i.e. Gold wheels on M4 GTS). Either that or maybe some research on the car.
While the mic had a decent amount of background noise you could hear the exhaust note

Although I respect Chris Harris' opinion a lot, I also remember Randy Pobst not digging it at all. Keep in mind CH loves to drift, and going sideways is not the fastest way around a bend. I can't see how one would consider it the best M car, when it is one of the worst looking M cars, does not have individual throttle bodies, and has a turbo engine......all things that make an M car special.
If BMW had build as many 1M's as they have e46 M3's. Not too many people would be talking about it anymore. The hype is 90% due to it's limited run. Just to clarify. I think it is a special car, just not the best M car. |

The 1M is also a car that is in most people's price range to purchase even at the retained value they have now... and still great bang for the buck... there is a McLaren in a development near me, great looking car but not realistically something most of us could own and maintain! This 1M does exactly what it was designed for. Very refreshing.

From the sounds of it you've never driven one. I could be wrong, but if so you'd change your mind pretty quick about the car. It's a riot |

It's no e30m3 or e46 M3, which btw are going up in value despite that, and both of those have real M engines, better looks and probably better chassis dynamics.....and are riots to drive as well. And, unless you are purely looking at it from a financial point of view (which car depreciates less), I'd take an M2 over it as well. It looks better and seems to be on par or better performance wise. All that being said, if I owned a 1M I'd be happy to have it, because it is rare, special, fun, and isn't depreciating, but I still would not think it is the best M ever made. |
