You guys knows. whats coming.

didn't had the balls to post this on the M5post.
but you guys know whats coming..

i can't lie about what people said to me, how they react towards my decision. my car pals around town told me i'm an idiot.. for doing this. but i know its what i want.

*even till the last moment i drive this car, i feel it is screaming to my ears… "i'm good i'm good, i'm better, don't kick me away" .. it is so freakin good, the gear change and everything. But hold still… a Legend is coming!*

Oh Yeah, we know!

Forget about the rivalry on performance and handling abilities of ///M cars, frankly, from looking at that tow-truck image, I would not dare to post on an M5 board on how their latest model of worship has forgettable styling. I get that same feeling when looking at the obligatory M2 striptease-before-release show that is now unfolding: For me there is nothing that ///M can do to polish up a quite blend 2 (and 5) series. The latest ///M releases make me realize that particularly the E82, just needed the M touch to have a distinct look that is not shouting in your face beautiful, but is unforgettable once it grows on you.

bring on the pics of your new beauty!

In an earlier thread Jay-K pointed out that it's a VO.

GUYS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE SUPPORT AND POSITIVE COMMENTS, I'M JUST HAPPY THAT FINALLY I AM ON THE ROUTE TO BE BACK JUST LIKE WHAT I THOUGHT WHEN I SOLD MINE.

you cannot imagine how hard it is for me to fight with the critiques, how downgrading seems very not an option here…
all my car friends are disagreeing..
but i know deep down.. that it is what i wanted to do, and what i have to do.

Thank You Guys, I'll be on flight to check out the upcoming on monday,
for the mean time everything is still secret ..

Now that's true love my friend.

I have to say I had a decent test drive of a M5 recently and as much as I liked it, I wouldn't have bought one (even if I had the money). Getting back to my 1M, I found myself in a much more fun, agile and exciting car to drive.

You've made the right choice despite what your friends said.

You never get used to the orange color 'popping' in the sunlight.

The 1M is officially a keeper. One of the purest BMW of the last decade.

I just picked up my VO in the last 2 weeks
Even though it stays garaged and under a cover, it sure does put a smile on my face knowing it's there and it's mine
I just love looking at it

We all understand where you're coming from

Great choice mate. The m5 is one hell of a car, no doubt about it, but it's not as much an occasion as the 1M imo!

The colour is great too. If there is one thing I regret about my 1M is that its white - not that it looks bad, but it doesn't stick out like the VO does!

Don't worry AW is amazing as well, and even BSM is nice to in different way,
that is secondary, the most important is the DRIVE!!!

sure it is, it will be hard to let go of the POWER, the UHH MAZING DCT!!! (one of the best!, smoothest and fastest), the fact that i could bring my Parents and whole house in IT!
