How is the 1 series M? I hope it's more peppy than the one I had... that's a trademark I would hate to see get watered down.

It's for street and track. I drive it on the street to get to the track. I mean, I work at the track and I'm there 2-5 days a week. I use it to give ride-alongs. You know, those people that want to check out the track but don't have a car to do it... so I drop them in a seat and show them around.
It's a 135i with the M-kit. It is not the 1M. That means, it's the 135i with the monster brake kit, wheel, traction control and sport suspension. The M brings more than the steering wheel and stickers. Brakes make all the difference. It's amazing how much faster you can go when you know you can stop when you want to.
All we've done to it is the black kidney grills and got wheels/tires [got off the run-flats and ditched the silver M-wheels]. It's my favorite car right now - TONS of fun. It's the semi-automatic, double-clutch seven speed paddles. |
