I have not but it looks "small" and does not look "aggressive" enough for me to want to own one.

Also at such entry level, you probably better off buying from a different brand and getting far better features and reliability for the price, because sure as hell you are not making anyone miron with that tiny car

I don't know all the BMW variants and what the differences are, but

I thought my buddy had a 1M, but from digging around, i think his is an M-package 135IS. Also owns a tracked out M2. Whatever his 1-series is, its a neat little car and pretty damn quick...it has some mods, not sure what exactly. The handling is phenomenal and it sounds awesome.

That said, I wouldn't get rid of my 1LE 6th gen Camaro for one, but you and I likely have different tastes

edit to add: his is a DCT...in a fairy tale world, I'd want that transmission in my Camaro lol

Best total @ 198: 1520 @ 195.4 - 575/360/585
Best total @ 220: 1603 @ 219.6 - 578/402/622 wraps; 1504 @ 206 - 529/363/611 sleeves

i have not but i did take out a 135i convertible stick shift on an extended test drive once. it was an absolute JOY to drive. just the right size, strong engine, amazing handling. I came away very impressed. The M gets you better everything basically so i cant imagine it wouldn't be fantastic. plus the are rare. i say buy one if you want one. I am 6'5 btw and had plenty of room.
