not much to say, since its like how Jeremy Clarkson explained it on Top Gear

it's a very very fun car thats also very comfortable, a perfect combination of a daily-driver that can be somewhat competitive on the track as well

my only complain is that the clutch and steering wheel is a bit light compared to my old 996, but its towards the heavy side (in today's standards), the exhaust is quiet but theres not much 'upgrades' unless I go with Akropovic (which I think is too much for my blood), so i will probably only change the midpipe and call it a day

i would want to mod it with probably a flash (since stock wise, the dyno charts show that power actually drops off past 6000rpm), and lower it with coilovers
however, i will not be gettings rims since after seeing a bunch of 1M changing to TE37, HPE's etc., NONE of them look as aggressive as the stock rims
the brakes are designed for the E9x M3 that is heavier and has ~100hp more than the 1M, so I do not think i would need a BBK, pads and rotor will be changed for better though

either way, I want to keep it looking stock or just keep it stock and 812738129372198 years down the road, i can get Collectors plate

edit: these rims look sick on the 1M but.. it costs quite a bit.. $8000+
