Whos thinking of trading Z4M for a 1M

mr_z4mc1m_oz · 10-13-2010, 05:51 PM

How many of you are thinking of trading in your Z4MC/Z4MR for a 1 Series M coupe when they are released next year?

johanness · 10-13-2010, 06:04 PM

Not a chance. Not ready to fall in love again yet. This car has a raw quality that more modern BMW's are tragically missing. Fast is fast, but HOW you get there is equally important in my books.

dorifto88 · 10-13-2010, 06:27 PM

if anything id rather get a regular 135 and buy a wide body kit

The__J__Factor · 10-13-2010, 06:27 PM

You might have to act quick, coz australia is only getting like 100-150 of them.
I already think the 135i is too expensive over here so no way i would pay for a 1M. Wont stop it from being a great car, fast and its looking pretty mean.

FerRrari · 10-13-2010, 06:59 PM

Sorry but I like N/A engines. A friend of mine is trading in his E60 M5 for the 1M though.

Endless619 · 10-13-2010, 07:01 PM

Sorry, thats going backwards for me. Only looking forward. Coming from NSXs, 350z, S2000, Z4M, M3, etc... Why would I want a 1M? They have nothing to offer me at all. I would get a new M6 if I want 4 seats.

Absolutely. I couldn't agree more with this post. (This is coming from someone who dumped their E92 M3.)

mr_z4mc1m_oz · 10-13-2010, 07:13 PM

The reason for my post wasnt for support for buying a 1M. I actually still want a Z4MC and wanted to see if there will be a whole heap more for sale as the 1M comes out.

But from what I can see here the Z4MC will still be limited. In Australia we are lucky if theres even 1 to choose from to buy. ATM there are 2, a black '08 (25000kms $85k) and a silver '06 model (19,000kms $80k).

doozyj · 10-13-2010, 07:27 PM

Not sure if the 1M is for me, but too honest very interested. But for some reason, I really enjoy 2 door sports cars such as the Z4M. Might me the last true raw sports car we see from BMW for a long time.

Z3Z4MC · 10-13-2010, 08:08 PM

no way.

mr_z4mc1m_oz · 10-13-2010, 08:17 PM

Hey buddy, I saw a Black z3 m coupe the other day with these massive 19' wheels, looked amazing! Also saw a red and a blue one recently, I think they get better with age!

Crimson92 · 10-13-2010, 08:31 PM

the only car i would consider is a m3

definitely not a 1 series

03BeastCharmer · 10-13-2010, 08:43 PM

Similar hp, similar weight, worse styling. No way. I'm excited about the idea, but would never trade my m coupe in for one. Granted I haven't driven it but I did see it at Ofest.

Shorestyle031 · 10-13-2010, 08:53 PM

If i had the money i would consider it because the pictures look amazing. Plus they are much nicer inside, but this is coming from someone that would be using it as a daily driver. I would wait for the road test then make up my mind.

^well said.
Not even if....

RBull · 10-14-2010, 05:41 AM

No consideration at all.

AWM3 · 10-14-2010, 05:57 AM

I would like to see the entire car and read reviews. The regular 1 series has a pretty low rent interior and they will need to upgrade that significantly. Even though it's a small car, it's still a heavy car. Sometimes a back seat and a trunk do come in very handy. Does the 1 series have fold down rear seats?

bhoch · 10-14-2010, 06:28 AM

I said now way in the poll.. but.. Wife has a 2004 325ci and she would be all over trading hers in on a 1 series M coupe! she's been wanting to go after the 135 already.. the M would just make it even more tempting.

epbrown · 10-14-2010, 06:43 AM

I'm not at all interested in the 1M. The only other M-car I'd get would be an M3 sedan, if life required me to get rid of one of the 2-seaters.

esqu1re · 10-14-2010, 08:11 AM

I wonder if the 1M will be one of those cult cars in the future. I think it will be, only if they stop making them after this generation.

Hawkeye · 10-14-2010, 09:07 AM

I would probably only trade for a Z4MC or a P car. I don't need a 4 seat go fast car.

mattdesign · 10-14-2010, 09:26 AM

I'm sure it will be a nice car, but the 1 series in general just don't do anything for me aesthetically. Some nice surfacing and graphical details, but the overall proportion is not pleasing....
