Make that two ///M-cars in two days.
Today's feature is actually one of my favorite Bimmers of all time. It's the 1-Series M Coupe, 1/18 scale by GT Spirit, in Valencia Orange.
Get it right. It's the 1-Series M, or 1M for short, and not the M1. We all know Matchbox done screwed up with its nomenclature, so don't make the same mistake. This is a completely different car from the old school classic/exotic produced by BMW. The 1-Series M Coupe is a classic in its own right, a modern one at that. It's been an instant classic from the moment it debuted. Not many cars in today's world of mass production achieve the status of appreciating value right off the bat. I'm not sure I can name another one that isn't a limited-production supercar or hypercar.
It's a quirky little car with polarizing looks and undeniable performance. As far as the design is concerned, I'm a fan of all of it. The chunkiness, the bloated wheel arches, and the excessive number of creases and vents that come standard with every ///M-car today.
Needless to say, GT Spirit once again gets top marks for this model. The aggressiveness of the car has been recaptured very well, and it looks much better than Minichamps' offering, which is precisely why I picked this one.
