Smile New 1M video!

The 1M has been covered extensively, but not many have talked about how BMW marketed the car using Bimmerpost leading up to the reveal. Here's my take on the car after owning one for a decade. I think it's a fantastic car, but it's far from perfect and that is a big part of the charm actually.

Nice video!

As an owner here are my thoughts

The stick is great, the steering is great, the size is perfect, looks great IMO.

I do not find the ride stiff at all, I have had much stiffer cars and I think the M2 and M2c are more bouncy. 1M does slide around, but that is what makes it feel so raw IMO.

The only issues I had with the car is the sound was not dramatic enough for me, that was fixed with an exhaust and mid-pipe. My other gripe was the seats and that can be fixed as well.

I think the same. So I have a set of new seats going in shortly. Next I need to deal with getting a little more sound.

Contact BMW Canada. My guess is that their shirt vendor is probably not making the shirts anymore... This was 10 years ago...
