BMW 1M Revealed (Updated w/Video)

Glad they are subtly changing the headlights… They look a bit dated, especially the lame orange ones we get in the US.

Like what I’m seeing so far… Thanks guys.

Very cool all in all Gabe, a huge thanks for sharing with us 1M mad fans. I am liking what I’ve seen so far, Detroit seems like a long time away though lol.

Not Inka but looks decent, any orange is always one I have to see in person though as pictures rarely do hold the same feeling.

So Gabe….is that the orange you were hoping for?

As a carnut myself, I can’t believe all of you are getting sooooooo excited over a few pics and a video of ‘a fender, half a headlight and a quarter of a lower facia’. And they say Trekkies should get a life. Come on people!

Guys, honestly this car is already overhyped… A 1 series only saves about 100 pounds over the 3 series when equipped with the same engine. In every test the 1 series has shown to be worse handling then the 3 series, so no expectation that the 1M will handle better then a M3. When you look at price It cannot be more expensive then an M3 so when you look at the price of a 335base and a M3 base, the 1M will slot at about 50k base. You can also pretty much guess its performance, between a 335 and an m3, not leaving alot of room in the power department, so maybe about 350 hp, which tied with the slightly lower weight gives it a o-60 time about 4.7. Your better off with a 335 or used M3.

This car is not a return to lightweight like the 2002, or the e30. Sorry to burst your bubble but this car is like the x5m… what exactly is the point? A poor mans M3? that will run you over $60k with a few options?

Ditto JD, we need not to have one opinion and each person has something to contribute of value I believe.
