1M wins parking challenge

[IEDEI]

if you live in a big city, you will definitely appreciate how true this is!!! parking the 1M is so easy in NYC for sports car standards....the biggest worry is making sure there is enough room so the other peeps don't nail you when they are getting in and out!

That's hilarious -- that someone would even bother to do a video like this!

At least this is one case where I don't have to buy a 1M to win this challenge. In fact, with the top down I might even be able to challenge the 1M for victory.

And, why am I now coming to the 1M forum as often or more frequently than I go to the 135is thread? Damn you, IEDEI....

I lived in NYC from 1992-1996. I had a Golf GTI which worked well. I can't imagine how bad it is now. In Portland, I just walk everywhere or I use a car2go. I don't like curb rashes, door dings, or random people making eye contact with my car. It upsets me.

it is now not a matter of IF.....but WHEN?

The 'is are the first step into rationalizing a 1M. I had no idea I could talk myself into pulling the trigger on paying the cost for one until I wound up in a LMB 'is coupe.

Get a sponsor to look out for your pocketbook so the same thing doesn't happen to you. Stay strong. It really is enough. The M doesn't even have a sunroof - whatta pile, dude.

haha. i 100% agree. the 135is is like a 'gateway' drug. It was expensive enough to get close to 2nd hand 1M prices and had performance which approached the 1M closer than any of the 'stock' 135s.....but i agree with you it made me open my mind to the possibilities and eventually take the plunge.....with no regrets!

Agreed. It's like having a cup of coffee with 10 shots of espresso,... When what you're really after is some crack.

It's a pretty direct analogy, too. Coffee is more than enough.... Until...

Now let them perform the parking test again with a serious curb on the roadside.
