I lived in Irvine for 8 years and never bought a car with a front plate mount. No cops have ever harassed me.

It is great that the car has journalists excited. All indications point towards a very fun and strong performing car.

No, not really. Anyone who understands the sum total effect of a slew of small variables can have on a lap time knows that this Hockenheim "comparison" is entirely apples to oranges. Different state of break in, different day, different temperature, different driver, etc. As discussed ad infinitum on some other threads: On most tracks (i.e. road courses) except very tight/low speed/autocross style ones, in a true apples to apples comparison the M3 will substantially best the 1M. Why - nearly identical suspensions, diff, brakes, tires, etc. with an 11% power to weight advantage for the M3. No not 3%, 5% or 8%, 11%. That is fairly significant. I know you said you won't split hairs over lap times but just making the comparison on the Hockenheim is already doing so.

The 1M may be a very fun car to drive. All reports indicate that it is. However, the sound and redline are key components of a strong emotional experience for me and the 1M is strongly lacking here compared to the M3. Even my much slower, medium modded, E36 M3 had some fun factor at the track that my E92 does not. My post was not really on any of these particular points, it was simply pointing out a mis-statement and misperception.

BTW I like M3s. Though I can say that I find the M3's lack of torque at low revs wearing around town. Without the benefit of having driven a 1M yet I can't say which I prefer but I am hoping the 1M meets my criteria, having ordered one. Seems I lack the imagination of many posters.
