the 1M will always be a classic, super rare, limited production
I actually don't think the 1M will drop too much in price with the launch of the M2.
and If i remember correctly, 1M has hydraulic steering, which should mean better steering feel.
Though I drove the 991 this summer and found the steering to be good when it came to responsiveness and feedback.

Too bad I wasn't in the market for a car when the 1M came out, nor could I afford one back then.

There is a black 1M for sale at Brian Jessel Preowned right now. I think they are asking 60k.

Yep, and it has a claim on it apparently, albeit a small one.
While the 1m is cool, and will be a collector car down the road, the M2 should affect its pricing because there is nothing about the 1M that sets it far apart experience wise from the M2. The m2 still has a manual, they are both turbo, both small and somewhat overweight, both a bit awkward looking (although I still love the way both of them look.)
The nostalgia factor isn't strong enough on a 5 year old car to prop it up I don't think.

im suspecting the launch of the M2 won't make a difference on 1M pricing.


theres only 220 copies of those damn cars for Canadian market... and theyre still sought after. apparently black is the rarest.

lots of fun to drive. Shorter, stubbier e9x m3 with more torque!

We will have to wait for reviews I guess.
Embargo is lifted as of 6pm est tomorrow
So we will start seeing reviews of the car.

A lot of people assume the 1m will be more raw and have better steering feel due to the hydraulic steering.

A little off topic
Here is also a widebody kit made for 235i






Very clean looking widebody reminds me of a 1M widebody

I personally prefer the m235 m performance front end over the M2, like the way it flows much better

Fully loaded stock m235i is actually more expensive than a m2
Now this kit will probably cost a lot
I do love that blue though

Jury is still out on the LBB. I haven't seen one in person yet

M4 I think is 75K base with no options
M2 is 61K

so 14K diff?

yea M2 is really a good value
a M235i fully loaded with all the options ticked is 62K for the rwd version
but of course lower interest rate than the M2
and room for negotiation
vs M2 are all basically sold at MSRP

and you probably dont have to wait close to a year to get a M235i

I'm a little shocked by that number on the dyno but figure it wasn't exactly done as well as it should have been.
