I think most Germans consider it a special ///M car - that is rare to see driven at speed. The 1M was and IS the "back to basics" for ///M GmbH. One of the best products to come out of the ///M skunk works in a long, long time too. It's funny when people say the 1M is not a real ///M car, then yet fully embrace the new M's. ///M has to keep evolving otherwise it will be dead. One only needs to look at the new ///M models to see this "new direction".
Just because the 1M used off the shelf parts doesn't mean it is no less special... and lets not get started on it not having a "S" engine vs a "N" engine. Quite the contrary. ///M built one hell of a package, and the people who one one know it. Heck even when a bunch of us Euro 1Addicts get together for a road trip... everyone always looks at the 1M's in our group.
