Keep m3 535 or get a 1m
Not sure what to do, I have a E92 m3 supercharged ess 535 kit with catless xpipe and 4.10 gears, I'm really debating a 1m currently
The only thing I don't like are the headlights but everything else is good I like how light the 1m is and can defly be tuned pretty cheap What do you guys think!? |

To me, there is no question there. I would keep the supercharged M3. And if finances allowed, I would get a 1M. Best of both worlds. I plan on keeping my E46 M3. It's bone stock and that is the way it will remain. I plan to add another ///M to the stable this year. 1M or E92 M3.. If I get another M3, I would put a ESS 535 in it like yours...  |

The miles are high, but it's reliable, I figured get a 1m new and. A e90 m3 a few years later, but if the 1m board thinks I should keep the m3 then I guess I will

It seems to me like you are just wanting for someone to tell you not to keep the m3...and if that's what you want, that someone will be me!
The m3 is an amazing machine, no doubt! Supercharged makes it unique, again, no doubt. But more unique and fun than a tossable 1M will be hard to find in the BMW family. I think the e9x m3's have grown too large and have lost some of that fun factor, even though the growl of that v8 will give most of us an erection. In the end it's your preference what matters, not mine or anyone else's...but if I were in your shoes I would get the 1M! |

I'll have to throw my support to the 1M....
Although the M3 is a great car and as others mentioned, if you ahve a supercharged M3, why get a 1M....the answer is simple IMO....you get the best of both worlds...the 1M offers the handling suspension and even more torque than what the M3 has to offer, yes the I6 doesn't growl as deep as the V8 but i would think the super low end torque mixed with superior handling makes up for it in fun... Also considering the fact that if you were to get a 1M, you are planning on another M3 down the line sooo I don't see the dillema....go for the 1M and the M3 a couple years later |

Normally I would say go for the 1///M, but you have a very special M3 so I'd stay put with that. Saw what the ESS S/Cer can put down during a dyno day at ICS, so I'd personally keep it. It is a beast.

If you are considering tuning and modding the 1M to be a truly fast and sick ride similar to your M3 i will say do it. I'm sure you already know you wont find the power in a stock 1M that you have in your current M3. But I say get the 1M and go all out on it and then get your E90 a couple years down the line.
