BMW M1 Test Drive

[EH 370z]

I have breaking my arse to drive one of these - and we have just got one in. If any member fancies a run out with me in it, get in touch,

but I will be expecting a favourable review

Boo, I was expecting this:

That thing is ancient it will be dissapointing to drive. One of those "never meet your hero's" moments!!!

Have to say I dislike BMWs a lot but the 1M really works for me! Exciting styling and fantastic performance, excellent!

Toby, I'll be in York in a few weeks, if I get the chance I'll pop in and say hello...

[EH 370z]

Yes please do.

I have a small cage in the mini showroom out of the way from the BMW mob!! Got biscuits to go with the tea an everything!!

I agree, I think the 1 coupe is the best looking car we do, the M1 just fills the rest if the gaps!

[Ekona]

1M, not M1

Please BMW make that car with one of your new engines. Please.

1M, not M1

 

Thanks! Typo! Was in a hurry!

One of my customers bought one for his wife, he's a biker like me and even he was impressed with it

Are they not rather expensive these wee cars?

Most BMW's are

 

They are near 50k are they not?

[Jay]

lol this is true, but for an m3 i wouldnt mind paying 40 odd grand

[Ekona]

Looks like anywhere between 35-40K secondhand. Getting hold of one is more the issue. Terrific cars, especially in the orange.

1M, not M1

 

So why is an M3 not a 3M?

So why is an M3 not a 3M?

 

Probably because of copyright issues with 3M. Also the car above is a M1. Awesome car. The hatchback is a 1M most likely because they didnt want to use the name M1 as its iconic. Bmw naming used to be simple now its bloody compliated, 1M, 130d, 135iM ahhh!

[Stew]

The 1M is the 1M because it's not an M1.

 

The M3 is is not a 3M because it's an M3.

 

 

:P

[M13KYF]

really like these

[AMT]

Hmm, I've heard they drive terrific... and I don't doubt it for a second! But, taking an ugly looking van with windows and putting a small boot at the back still hasn't done it for me I'm afraid. Even though its a barge if I wanted a BMW I'd rather have a good one of these....

Although not a fan of BMW styling, I kinda like the new 6series coupe too tho!

[EH 370z]

The 1M is the 1M because it's not an M1.

 

The M3 is is not a 3M because it's an M3.

 

 

:P

 

Or because its not a post it note hhaha!!

 

I'm am off out in very unassuming 135msport just now £30k and 320hp!!!

If I owned one I would get it in white, keep it dirty, put a network rail sticker on it & badge it as a 116d

 

[stuarty]

Will the next generation of the 1m coupe be called the 2m or m2?

The new 1 series coupe is called the 2 series and the new 3 series coupe is now called the 4 series so it would make sence!

[stuarty]

Sorry sense!!

Great cars, my mate had one a while ago (since sold) and it was a fantastic machine, soooo quick for everyday driving. He then had it remapped by DMS which turned it into a rocketship.

 

Would love one.....
