Welcome to the club and glad to see you're enjoying your little beast.

This car is a benchmark in some many areas, I love how alive it feels and how connected you are to the car at all speeds, its like you're hardwired in with full control.

I also have a B7 RS 4 and the steering/power delivery feels asleep in the low end but really comes alive on the top end (where the 1M runs out of breath and feels a lil nervous- understandably so). One car exposes each others weakness, the RS is a serious performer but it feels like safe/boring speed even at autobahn speeds. I have never felt that with the M yet.

I see you're from brooklyn.. I grew up there and plan on coming back and meeting with friends at caesars bay during one of the gtg. Do you go by there at all?

i work hard...i drive a lot....and i really want to commute in something special, because i feel i deserve it. For me, cars (and any other objects) are just objects which make things a little bit better for us to do things with. I hear a lot of talk about the 1M being a 'collectible' and having 'investment potential'....but for me, the 1M is a very epic car which i am going to enjoy the hell out of for at least a couple years as my primary commuter car; after 2-3 years i might reduce its role to a secondary enjoyment car. right now, it's my primary enjoyment tool! I want to drive it through snow and rain and sit in traffic jams with it! I consider living to be more special than any car!

This is what BMW M IS ALL ABOUT.

a sports car you can drive every day.

most definitely!!!! i can't tell you how much fun it is to DD the 1M.

Surprisingly, i actually find it a bit better as a DD than the 135is was----even though i really enjoyed the 135is as a commuter car as well. No squishy suspension and no bobbing/bodyroll anywhere in the 1M. I like a firm ride and the 1M is very very direct and connected to the road. It really is a fantastic car to use as a commuter!

Congrats! I am glad you made the switch! Both cars are fantastic to drive.
