That was a great line. If it really matters to me that much I'd just go out and get it at that point. Gotta love typical sales tactic to create sense of urgency - Buy it now or it will be gone. Where will cars going to go if I don't buy it? Disappear into thin air? Limited production? I am going to change cars in 5-6 years anyways, I don't mind used/preowned. What really matters is if the car delivers. If it doesn't I don't see myself dying to buy one.

Tell me, does BMW AG approve of or encourage you to make statements like this when acting as a representative of the company? If you worked for me and made a post like this I would assign you to a far corner of the world and then send you a two-word email: "You're fired." Not only an inappropriate remark, but complete, total, absolute bullshit... |

Lol@scotts qoute.
Even if you want one you can t get one. Most 1M are sold out already. Also in Europe. Even on M-power.com the CM is saying if you want to drive early you better hurry ordering one. |

We haven't really seen it yet, but may be the MP4-12C would be the first of many amazing turbo engines. I know BMWs are only a fraction of its cost but it will eventually caught up to what it can do. F1 is also going 1.6L 4 bangers to be more intune with the future of the car industry, and I am sure they will have to address some of the issues we are currently having with turbos, and they will trickle down to road cars.

Turbo s are for certain not my favourite car. But the one series is favourite bmw.
So my choice is limited if you want an ///M series car from a one series. So i hope they have the turbo lag figured out. |

Can't wait till we see a video of you going sideways in a 1///M (and balancing it with the throttle).

I for one think that the M should go on cars that deserve it. The X3 is a "mommy go getter" Go get the grocery's, the kids, ect.... I don't care how much money they throw at it, or what they put on it to make it faster it will always be that in my eyes.
The X5 and X6 M's are cool and I like them because there are other cars like the Cayenne and Range Rover Supercharge to play with (or a Lamborghini LM002) and go after. There are no Q5 or RX's that tinker with sporty-ness just appearance packages. I have a friend that works with BMW and when the Z4-35is came out he said that was the answer to the older M-Z4 that BMW was not planning on making the M. I say put ALL the M money towards the New F series M3, Finish the F-M5, and make the new M6 make the Merc SL AMG look like a kiddy toy! That's what I'd like to see!

Speaking of which, I saw this Alpina M3 in action at Infineon, it smoked every single thing they threw at it. Was driven by no other than Andy Bovensiepen - the son of the founder of Alpina. We were in R8s and RS 4s and had 0 chance, heck, even 997 GT3s got embarrassed.

When BMW decides to run a serious marketing campaign targeted at adults again (rather than teenagers), I will tune in for real. So much hype generated by marketers these days. I guess it sells.

LOL... well.. since the boss of BMW M, Dr. Kay Segler said this...... "The BMW 1 Series M Coupé is M technology at its purest. If you miss out this opportunity, you’ll only have yourself to blame.” http://www.m-power.com/_open/b/close...d=2253&lang=en I'll bet the boss wouldn't be too upset... |
