Fixed. It seems that the date in the link was changed by BF.

Nice write up thanks. I have a GT4 and 1M. Still love my 1M puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Can't get excited about the M2.

For road use I still love the 1M and depending on your mood it is just as enjoyable as the GT4 indeed can be a lot more practical depending where you are going. I have had my 1M from new and it is a keeper. Best BMW I have owned in over 40 that include M6 and M3's etc etc. Would consider a M2 CSL if it ever gets built. Strip out the weight etc. One thing I like about GT Porsche cars is that they look at the buying process from the drivers point of view rather than purely this is the budget for building the car. So good options on seats, harness, stripping out more weight through air con delete etc etc. BMW don't really do that with M cars and that's why they need the CSL brand. M has sadly been badly diluted by BMW as the marketing guys got hold of it. 1M was one of the few rays of light. |

I totally agree that BMW needs the CSL brand where they keep at least one model with a proper manual gearbox, direct steering, manual seats, no NAV etc. Only focus on engaging the driver for driving and not for iPad features. |
