That means the car will always be sold at a premium over MSRP, which will not only defeat the purpose of bringing new, younger and less affluent people into the M fold, but will all but guarantee the enthusiast base will skip it too (few cars = no test drives and high prices).
I personally think BMW will build as many as it can sell, which is still not much with such a short production run. But I'm hoping at least I can test drive it - otherwise I'll keep the M3 and live happily ever after.

I don't blame you if you end up keeping the M3--I am now wondering if getting into one of the E90/92 M3s would be easier and cheaper than looking at the 1M....
I too would require a test drive, and I agree that that might not be possible, given the possible limitations on the number of cars to be available...
I am certainly not going to pay more than MSRP....
