2 years and 75000 km

When I sleep I miss my 1M.
When I go to work I am happy I am driving my 1M.
When I am stressed at work the 1M gives me hope.
When I am done work I am happy I am back in my 1M.
When I park it at the mall or the beach I look at my 1M and say damn that's hot!
I park it at home rinse and repeat the next day till the weekend comes when beast mode is on and I drive it like I stole it.


Did I mention that I love my 1M?

thank you for the support guys

Stratus650, sounds like a plan. Sadly some dimwit rear ended me last weekend. I will be ready to represent as soon as I get my new rear bumper and maybe a carbon fibre rear valance installed, some touch up paint and a polish. right now my baby is not in her perfect form. Her name is Miranda

I see, I read this was a potential issue as well.

Did a code pop up when boost was lost and were you still able to drive the car?

it tells me loss of pressure when you go WOT. The car feels so weird without the turbos running.

Thank you my brother, I can't wait to get back my car, its at the dealership getting a new rear bumper and a new valance.

The question is... My maintenance advisor said since it's on the insurance, i can get the valance painted any colour if the valance needs painting. I have this itch to get it painted high gloss black like the shadow line trim to fall in line with my black kidney grills , black side markers and shadow line package. hmmmmm... choices choices choices...
