But the same thing happens when you pop the hood on your 1M. You realize that your engine, just like you paragraph, may seem well dressed, but its not the real thing...its just not a real M.
So in the disscussion of dedicated sports car semantics, you should pop your own hood, and then take a look at the s54 that sits inside these roadsters (which are convertibles) and tell me which one is a dedicated M.  |
The 1M.
I've had an E46 M3 for 3 years(S54 engine), I've driven a Z4M, I've had a E90 M3 V8 for two years, and I've driven Advevo's 1M.
If you find one , go and drive a stock E30 M3, feel the crisp steering, the fine roadholding and the lame engine.
After the E46 M3 I got a 335i E90 6Mt, graet engine as well. Then I drove the Z4M to go back to that //M feeling I was hoping for. I won't do that again, it was a cultureshock. The highrevving is great, but the car also needs to accellerate fast(er) than that 335i, and it didn't actually. (My N54 335i also had 330/340HP stock I guess) .
Anyway, you know that BMW came out with the 2002 Turbo and the BMW Turbo prototype(1972) YEARS before the M1(great car, BMW's true supercar) and E30 M3 came out?
BMW always has been a turbo pioneer. And it shows with the 1M. It's a true M just as the F10 M5 is.
I've ordered the F30 335i 6MT, but if I didn't have any kids there would be a 1M in my garage. It's a blast.
