BMW 1m
 

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?

You love Yaris.:smt055
