The perfected supersport icon The BMW M 1000 RR is a technical masterpiece with 217 Horsepower, which paradoxically becomes a problem due to its perfection. Suitable for trackdays as standard with outstanding electronics and neutral riding dynamics, but difficult to customise. A supersports car that is surprisingly accessible to drive, but whose absolute perfection poses a dilemma for tuning enthusiasts: Do I buy the expensive, perfect M version or the cheaper S 1000 RR to customise myself? Ideal for purists, problematic for individualists.
