The 1 is so much more aggressive and if it came in DCT there would 100% be one sat on my driveway right now. E92 can at times look a tad bland, esp in standard guise.

Go for it Alex- it would make an awesome road car for ring trips too

I'm with you on this one, i would seriously be interested in one if it came with the DCT as i'm not wanting to go back to driving a manual car... shame they didn't have it as an option,

My dealer is looking for my perfect spec now. Also coming back to me with trade price for the M3.

I'm getting ready to bend over.

Alex,
Give Grassicks BMW in Perth a call. Mr Grassick himself had a white one stashed away which was pretty well full spec.
I looked at it with my mate and he had a fairly recent call to say it was still there.

Oh and they were offering him a really good price on his e46 M3 as well

I did not realise they do not come with DCT but either way that does not bother me. I am still not 100% sold on the CSL (beautiful car) clutchless manual. Why no manual option. Moreover the 1M is ugly and unproportional in looks. I admit that I have driven neither the new M3 nor the 1M but at least the M3 has some presence about it. I still enjoy the V8 in my M5.

I am sure the 1M is probably more practical in these days of frugality and the move to smaller cars. Let's face it the M3 has like most cars got bigger and bigger. I would guess and say that it is as big as my M5 which was supposed to be the medium sized family saloon. There is something surely wrong there.

Anyway just my opinion.

Pip

Bealo likes his rides ugly and slightly manly looking
