1M vs M3 comparison

some bloke wrote: The 1M signals a return to driving-focused enjoyment, not to mention it's as fast as the M3 and costs way less. But is it better? Lieberman and I agree: No. This big, heavy, and expensive M3, with its unflappable confidence and lascivious powertrain, is the car we want, the car we'll remember as the best of the naturally aspirated Ms. It's the one we'll tell young gearheads about in a few decades with the same fondness and reverence as given its E30 ancestor. The 1M doesn't measure up to the M3's standard. Few cars do.

I wonder who paid this guy to come out with such guff.

I know this'll be unpopular but it was pointed out to me that since the introduction of the e36 M3, production figures were huge (unless a rare limited model) and as for the e46, jings, everybody and his dug has got one of those.

I'm not saying that they're not fantastic cars because they are, what I'm saying is that they'll never be a future classic. Just look at the attention Garys motor gets wherever we go and people breeze past a rainbow of e46s of every description to get to it.

Are the boys in Bavaria reading this ? Too many M models now boys, give it a rest as the exclusivity just isn't there any more.
