This honest review just goes to show the progress in technology. I LOVE my M coupe to death but there's no doubt in my mind the 1M is "better" in any measurable category.

Dan did any Lamin X take measurements for the rear lights too? I'd like to get a matching dark tint to match the front as well. Congrats on the car btw.

Not as much as I thought I would, but on the nice days I do miss it.
I agree about the long trips and lack of power on the straights, but the handling and driving experience were great.

I sent the link from my phone and now that I'm home I see an error message form youtube so I'm uploading it again with a smaller resolution.
Darn internets!

I'll stop by and have a template made for the 3rd brake light tomorrow before I head for Road Atlanta.

Hey Dan, tell Steve we need to get the 1M on track tomorrow. I'm bringing my GoPro camera, helmet, and all the nomex I have.

The film on my headlights is the lightest they sell. It's not nearly as dark today as it was in yesterdays pics. It's almost 90 degrees here so the glue is setting up quickly.

Nice write-up Dan and congrats on the new car. I'm pretty excited about my ED at the end of next month. I have to say that I think it's bad form to be riding the 'dragon' and crossing all over the centerline on virtually every left corner apex, and practically completely across the line on some. The guys on my motorcycle forum would crucify you if they saw it, and the big complaint there is that guys ride it who don't know what they're doing, or guys ride/drive it that do, and still use it as their personal racetrack with a complete disregard for what might be coming in the other direction. It's good that you didn't have the misfortune of someone driving the same way coming at you. You're obviously an experienced driver with plenty of track time, so you're more than capable of having a good time without potentially putting someone else at risk on that road. I drive as fast as anyone, but I make it a point to keep it between the lines on the street. A potential scare or slight incident on four wheels can easily kill someone on two. Take this for what you may, and enjoy the car.

Lots of times the left side of the car was in the middle of the lane. Good thing it isn't that wide of a car or you would be picking the rhubarb out of the side mirrors.
