I know this is the 1M, but why does everything "official" say M1
I know I am not alone on this. Myself and several others have received their state titles citing ownership of their 2011 "M1" or "M1C" like me. They have even received documents from BMW noting it as M1. Is this just some stupid mistake or does anyone know of a reasoning behind this?
Its a bit confusing when everyone/everything comes out saying 1M and BMW not declaring it the M1 for whatever reason, but all of this legal documentation says otherwise lol. Just something I felt like bringing up to start the weekend  |

The project title "1 Hell of 'n ///M" (something with a Pyrat in an orange car or so) didn't make it in the end. BMW bit the bullet and went for the self-explanatory "1 Series M Coup" moniker.

My monthly dealer e-newsletter states "M1". In fact guys in the service dept call it that. And most people that approach me and ask me whether it is an "M1". Depending on how much time I have (or don't), I set the record straight
