1M unveiled

[clumsyalex]

You have conlicting stats up there. 3296 initially and then 3461 down below. Are you sure you are not getting the 3461 from the regular 1 series weight? From what I have read, the 1M has had a weight reduction...a lot of that weight coming from the suspension being installed from the M3.

From a purely value perspective, the Mustang is certainly a better purchase. I'd have to drive back to back though to really see where the differences are. The 1M is a good bit lighter if the 3296 number is to be believed and I bet you could chip it for very little money to get some ridiculous performance. That being said, the Mustang is a FANTASTIC car, so I'm sure I'd be happy with either one.

ah yes you're right sorry the figures on the bottom are wrong, thanks for pointing that out. however i wouldnt be surprised if the weight was lower by a very small margin because of the wider body.

That's what I'm thinking...a very cheap flash will likely make this a ridiculously good car with fantastic bones from the M3. I do lament the lower rev range...but I'm sure that thrust will get me over that.

This looks like a great car for track use with a lot of room for easy modding. We'll see.

335i's have been modded to hell, so shouldn't be hard to get 400hp

Question, can we ever have a BMW thread without the usual suspects gaying it up with the tired hate rhetorics?

lol girly cars..yeah i had mustang and challenger rentals last couple months and you know who keeps talking to me about them..random old dudes..eff that..

the miata is a great fun car to drive



the 1 series m coupe i think about on and off..but 45K?? eff that too..

there's a blurb here about 1 series m coupe being faster than E46 M3 around the ring..but slower than E92 M3

with some people claiming the mustang GT being just as fast E92 M3 even on a road course, well..

i hate how 1 series looks

The back seat will be pretty much useless too. It's a really small car.

It would be interesting to see what a 5.0 with the track pack would run the Nürburgring in. I'm sure it would be impressive...but I'd really like to see where it would fall.

Agreed. They look pretty sweet in real life.

They do. My commute used to encounter a Dinan modded 1 series. Looked really nice, and went really fast. :awe:

Get a manlier coupe.

Fixed.

really meh. what's the point of this over the 3 series.

Smaller, cheaper. 3 series went bigger and more expensive.

You guys are not getting it's not about what GUYS think.

Most girls I know that see a guy in a miata or boxter think the worst of the dude.

All the girls I know don't know the difference between a Miata and a Corvette. Do you hang out with butch chicks or something?

Now if the interior was done by Coach as opposed to Prada, that shit they'd know.

nice try, but unless they are like 9 not true.

What do you mean by "think the worst of a dude"?

Miata - oh he must be gay
Corvette - oh he must be compensating for his small penis during his mid-life crisis

The Miata is one of the few cars with it's own racing class and series.

Hardly trolling...how about sticking to the topic instead of the clowntastic miata.
