After the last decade of driving MINIs I find the current M3 just a bit too big for my taste. The 1M is the perfect mix of size and performance and pushes the right button for the type of drive I personally like. I let go of my 240hp MINI Cooper S track car for it and have no regrets.

My father lives in The US and I am in Canada.

Thanks

The 1M I believe is set to be out of production by 2013... Maybe you could find one used with low mileage when the time comes, or just get yourself the new M3/M4

By the way, nice flickr you got there. Loved the timelapse shot of ZhongXiao E. Road. in Taiwan. I used to pass by there, when I got back from school.

Great pictures. Excellent write up. ED is something I always wanted to do... with your great write up, I definitely have to do it for the next car.

Congrats for your 1M. Maybe we will cross each other on the streets around Mtl.... They are all sold out in Canada so you have an exclusive model that very few will have the pleasure to enjoy....

I'll keep a look out. What colour is your M3? I'm usually out in my Lachilber Gray e30 M3. Honk if you see me in either car...lol

We have a few things in common - not originally from this side of world, BMW fanatics, love an alpine white 1M, same age, enjoy photography.

One difference, your 1M was allocated and you did ED, I just live vacariously through you in hope...10months since I pd a deposit..

Btw, the collared shirt you are wearing in the first few pics is classic tri-color hidden messaging!
And I've had a few of your pics as screen savers over the last week!

Cheers

Lol on the shirt, my favorite, needed to be properly coordinated on the big day!

I've always thought BMWs look so right in Alpine White. I almost sold my e30 M3 a few years back to replace it with a AW. Couldn't find one tidy enough but now the void is filled with the 1M.

Thanks for the kind words, I hope u are able to get yours own soon. Talking to Brian Watts, he did say they were going to make more than the initial 2700 planned, more in the low 3000s. Hopefully yours will squeeze in there.

I'm sure we will cross paths at a future annual 1M meet.

Btw...we do have similar tastes, I have a 4runner too which has the rare sport package for it's generation. Love this truck. It's my warmup truck, i've been lusting after a Land Rover Defender 90 since I was young.

Ha ha, classic. Let me guess, if you cant get your hands on a decent Defender, a Gelandewagen will do??
