BMW 1m

[Streetwise Hercules]

The smallest of the M cars has received an absolutely fantastic review in this months evo and went on to lap the Bedford Autodrome's West Circuit a hefty 1.9 seconds faster than our beloved CSL.

Great to see another fantastic M car but must admit that the trouncing the CSL's lap has taken, albeit on a different day probably by a different driver, was slightly less welcome.

Anybody here had a go or going to have a go in or at one?

..and without Cup's I think?

Troucing........ the CSL is 8 years old so its only a matter of time that this should happen though a surprise it has taken so long!!! not living in the uk, what does the E92 lap the EVO track in?

Oh, drop the defensive stance. 2 seconds is quite a difference.
Obviously cars evolve but this is an entry level M car showing a pretty clean pair of heels to the ultimate E46 M3 on special rubber.

The E92 manages the exact same time as the 1M but with a slightly higher peak speed.

M1

i saw one on saturday morning whilst out in mine. Very suprised @ the 2 second deficit, although it was inevitable that BMW would eclipse the csl eventually. That said the M1 is a bit tinpot, a little like the boxster/911 debate. CSL might be slower but it killls it for presence.

Tried to gode him into having a bit of fun but he was worried about the stonechips...!! :thumbs:

Evo lap in the CSL was not on OEM Cups.

1M does sound like a cracking drive though. I'm testing one asap to see what all the fuss is about. Might drop the E90 M3 for one if it's that good.......................................but I doubt it. Looks tight for the kids in the back.:bigcry:

I was thinking of doing similar by trading my CSL for a new model Toyota Yaris when it comes out later this year :smokin: :thumbs:

1M gets good press,must try one..

Is the ring time out yet?

Close but no :smokin: That's my twin brother Christopher :blalalala: (as the slogan says ) trying his hardest to get fired after the failed attempt of the 7 Series fiasco :clown: closely followed by the X3 disaster :smt078

Well,

It's faster than the CSL @ Bedford but much slower at the Ring.
Interesting...

It could be one of these 'special' cars for the press and taking into account that it's turbo, it shouldn't be too difficult to make it 400+ hp


we will see them on track with our own eyes and we will see how good it is:birdman:

[outnumbered]

I'm sure the 1M is pretty fast, and special in its own way.

The EVO Bedford laptime in the CSL has always looked a bit slow to me - surely it shouldn't be 2s slower than an E90 M3 Saloon, under equal conditions ? CSL has better BHP/ton for a start, and the chassis isn't that bad either...

[shane@mbtech]

A question if I may......


Do you guys really give a fuck? :hahaha:
