First BMW 1M spotted on US roads – Valencia Orange paint

BMWBLOG spotted the first BMW 1 Series M Coupe in the United States. Painted in the what-could-become an iconic color, Valencia Orange, the 1M is being put through a long-term test drive and it was spotted somewhere near the Philadelphia area.

This is our first time seeing the car on the road and so far it has not disappointed us. The 1M looks massive, aggressive and certainly has the road dominating stature we expect from an M vehicle. Valencia Orange is also an interesting color and under the sunlight, it stands out even more, becoming an instant head turner.

I wonder how this 1M compares to the Nissan 370Z Nismo...??? No arguments or flame war please, I'm just in the market for a new car and both seem to be a viable choice.

1M has more torque and a back seat. The Nismo, while having killer looks, would never rate a "Spotted on US Roads" post.

Ok, well, I don't care for a back seat that only fits children 5 or younger. Furthermore, the Nismo Z is not a new car like the 1M is, so, that's why the 1M is being "spotted on US roads". Now, if you have a better input please let me know.
