edinlexusV8 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Top Gear gave great review for this car but some people are sceptical whether there is even a place for a car like this. Dont seem to fill any gaps in the market esp with a price tag of £40,000. Whether this car will be successful or not, the following two ads are quite nice ...

j_jza80 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 They said 400 on Topgear. I've got a lot of time for this car, will be interesting to see how fast they go once the tuners get hold of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I really like the look of the 1 series coupes. I'd certainly have an M powered one. Even the 135d is a tasty little car too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I'm not a BMW fan (except the brand new M3), but I'd have one of those in a shot if it was offered. A very lovely little car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I saw a couple of these last weekends, lovely bit of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 It isn't as involving to drive as a real M car. I'd save my cash and plump another few £k for a Cayman R. Oh, and both of those ads are CGI heaven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Still a doubleyou anchors' car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJames Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Id take one for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benedwards64 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 The thing that disappointed me about the 1M is that it produces almost exactly the same power as the NA engine in a Z4M, despite being an almost identical engine with 2 turbos strapped to it. That, if nothing else, shows that BMW have de-tuned it to avoid it competing with the M3. Still, potential for a remap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Oh, and both of those ads are CGI heaven ...and there was me thinking 'what a brilliant bit of driving'!! I was so sure it was real.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and both of those ads are CGI heaven Then I have to say I am quite disappointed. Was hoping this car to have some fantastic handling .... Looks real to me ..

Yeah, clever CGI isn't it? The car does handle well. VERY well. It sounds good too, but it's just not quite as good as M cars should be. It does like wild angles though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
