I wonder if anyone owns more than three Acuras

I think it's a forum record.

Hey, I post here . In fact, I haven't posted in the Acura section in years.

I'm in the same boat...sort of...only had three cars, although I bought the last two new. Got <60k out of the last one, and don't plan on getting 50k out of the current one LOL.

You see Autoblog's review of it? They liked it more than a M3 Competition

Yea, the 1M may not have all the power that the M3 has, but a lot of people are saying its a better car. Even BMW said it lapped Hockenheim faster then the M3.

BMW didnt say it lapped Hockenheim faster. It was a magazine.

German magazine Auto Motor Und Sport takes the new BMW 1M to the Hockenheim race track. The outcome? Nothing short of impressive. The 1M was clocked at 1:14.1 minutes, faster than the M3 Coupe with DCT gearbox, 1:14.2 minutes.
Pretty much equally matched although reviews say 1M is more fun to drive. Figured as much.
