I haven't taken mine on the track because it's a lease and it would need track upgrades to get it to where it needs to be. Hence the need for the 1M.

I'm just amazed at all the posts about oh, if it's not this hp, I'm not going to buy it. The M division has never failed to deliver on their cars. You would be hard pressed to find a bad review of an e30 all the way to the current M3. They have continually set the bar for motorsport divisions. So, why do so many people doubt the viability that 1M will not exceed expectations?
Superficially my comment may appear to be about power. If you read closer it's about BMW holding back then charge you extra for what the car can innately do.
