I hear a lot of comparison between M cars and non-M cars, such as the Z4M vs 335is where the only consideration is power. There is a lot more than power that goes into an M car. Any Honda Civic on the street can add an extra 100hp with some bolt-ons. What makes an M car so expensive is the amount of refinement and balance that goes into the combination of engine-power to weight ratio to break-caliper-size to suspension to weight 50/50 distribution, plus wider wheel base and styling, etc.
If I only cared about horsepower, I'd go buy some POS American car that can't corner its way out of a parking lot.
Whats this about the 1M ending in 2012? They're only going to produce it for 2011 and 2012? Why would they bother putting all the research and advertising money into a car they're only going to sell for 2 years? If this does happen, wouldn't a new 1M take its place like the M3 has done generation after generation?
