votes seem to suggest 20-3 in favour of the 1M, although i must say i mis read the qtn so incorrectly voted 1M

Mmmm, votes are well loaded towards 1M. Gonna have another drive in one next week. Been offered a cracking deal as well.

Alex, don't agree at all re 1M not a real M car. M engineers I have met admitted it was a bit of a parts bin raid special but they didn't half do a fab job of it and the muscular looks absolutely do it for me. It's no boy racers car for sure. Feels like a proper M car to drive, as long as you turn off the DSC and let the diff work. Unfortunately they did lift the DSC straight from the 135i with a few mods and it feels like it. Seriously hinders progress until you turn it off.

Have to say, would miss the V8. Got a nice drive down to Portsmouth last week to remind me what a great engine and car it is.

Lots of thinking to do.

Swore blind I'd never touch BMW after they 'fooked' my CSL but tempted with this 1M.

Are they a limited run ?
How good a deal out there ?

No one worried about mods and losing the warranty ?

Limited to 450.
Some very good deals to be had. They were around 40K basic, but now fully loaded with Demo miles they're coming in around £40K with the choice options. Maybe less now, it's a couple of months since I was twisting dealers melons!
