You're a 1M addict when,

1SerieStud · 06-16-2011, 10:42 AM

When you keep reminding yourself about those poor souls in the AluFelgen GB for wheels, in order to realize that the wait for the 1M isn't really that bad.

When you're in your RS 4 and all you are thinking is that you wish your 1///M were in "Production Finished" status!

Natch. Must be time to call the CA again...

I would love to have all these ailments. I am a 1M addict wannabe instead.

How you know you are a 1M addict wannabe: after hearing that pyrat is code name for 1M, you immediately acquire this screen name because it will be taken soon you're sure, but can't yet afford this wonderful car, so you pretend this car will be available used in 2 years, in the color you want, unabused. Then you snap back to reality and drink some more Pyrat

When you've been lucky enough to drive an '03 996TT for the past few days,... have a line on buying it at a good price. And still pine for the 1M. At least I have a good back should the 1M not materialize.

TunedM2C · 06-17-2011, 12:40 PM

....when you look out your office window and see a commercial van parallel parked behind you and you run outside to move the car into a much more spacious spot.

Bobby Digital · 06-17-2011, 01:30 PM

...When your commute to work used to be 5 miles but with the 1M it has increased to 10 for some strange reason...

ADVANT123 · 06-17-2011, 02:56 PM

When you check BMWUSA.com every hour during the day to see if your car goes from "On Order" into "Production".... The wait is killing me!

Kippers · 06-17-2011, 10:46 PM

So very true ...

...when you take a business trip half-way around the world to a place you've never been before, and your priority is to PM a guy who has a bad-ass VO 1M and ask him for a peek.

I think you "win" for the most addicted...lucky dude.

Outstanding. Big time win because Frankcos' car looks exceptionally good with the mods he has done to continue the black/orange contrast.

Absolutely. He's tinted the windows and blacked the chrome on the badging since he posted those pics. I encouraged him to post updated pics for everyone. Looks really, really good. I wasn't considering VO before seeing it, and have to admit I'm not ruling out now.

I was trying to post a request in that thread for updated picks and my WIFI failed. I'll do that.

VO is rather unique in how it contrasts with the black bits like the mirrors and rear exhaust valance so making more silver bits black has to really be amazing.
