New owner of a VO 1M
Picked up my VO 1M last Saturday. I love the VO color, glad I choose that.
Used an entire tank of gas the next day driving it all over the mountain roads around Warwick, NY (can't stop driving it). Great car, I like it even better than my 2008 M3, better handling, lighter, twitchy (in a good way). The more I drive it, the more I like it. Borla exhaust is being installed as we speak. Can't wait to have the sound match the performance. I have two daughters, 10 and 5 and they fit great in the back. My 5 year old is a real car nut, I guess there is a "Car enthusiast" gene that can be passed on. Glad to be a member, this car is a keeper. Glenn

I am just out as a member of a 1M but anyway, welcome! Enjoy it good health. I can tell you that it was painful to watch it leave yesterday.
Borla is a great sounding exhaust; match it with a Maddad mid pipe and you will have a wild beast roaring under your seat.

Made the right call. Exhaust ain't my thing, but I live in an apartment so the stocker borders on loud enough.
Compared to the M3, isn't this car so flipping neutral when rev correctly. |

I think the stock exhaust sounds great, but I have N55 midpipes on the way for a little more noise. I did secondary cat delete pipes on my last car (Audi tt-rs) and it made a nice difference, more pops and crackles. Hoping for the same with the 1M. |

Hopefully the N55 Midpipes and the Borla will be a great combo.

Welcome to the club ... I added a borla and mid pipe to my e46 and it was a good year and a half until the borla opened up to "loud" .....on my 1m I did the mad dad mid pipe and it is perfect mid-loud after six months of breaking in. I doubt the borla will satisfy you if you want really loud ( there is a sticky on exhaust sounds/combos)'.... Great luck with your new toy!
