1M Power Question
I am a current M3 owner and I'm seriously considering trading it for a 1M. My question is does the 1M have enough power to break traction when boost comes on? Not dropping the clutch but having the clutch out and just hitting it from a roll will it break em loose? If not stock then if anybody has an ECU tune does that give it enough power?

Yes, they will slip in 1st. I've had them slip in 2nd gear under wide open throttle (tuned by Epic MotorSports). The tires weren't cold either.
 Keep in mind if you blink you probably won't be able to get a 1M anyway.

 I'm laughing because most of the owners are wracking their brains on how to keep this thing from breaking traction every time they press the throttle with DSC off. It's got 40+ lbs more torque and weighs 200lbs less.

It'll break traction faster than you can break wind...
