BMW 1m - Page 4

of course its an m engine. its a new m engine, and its called progress.

its an entry level M, fast, economical, practical etc etc.

its no CSL, but its certainly an evolution of the brand.

given the cost of petrol, i think its a bold move.

i know its only a rendering, and i know you've seen it before, but if they built it, and called it a CSL, What would your thoughts be then?

its an awesome bit of kit at the end of the day.

shame a tuner and a graphic designer got to it first...

I know why M are turning to turbos but it doesn't mean I have to think it is a great idea, the throttle response on a turbo engine just isn't there like it is on the great NA M engines. Don't get me wrong turbo engines are OK in appliances, we have 2 petrol turbos in our house at the moment (335i and ed30) but for me M engines are about throttle response, high rpms and great noise and I've not yet driven a turbo engine that gets close. I suspect in the future that the s65 will be seen as the peak of M engines.

I totally agree. I drove the current GT-R last week and whilst it's a staggeringly fast and capable bit of kit, in terms of throttle response it couldn't hold a candle to the Renault Clio Cup I used to own.
As you say, we all know why they are doing it but that doesn't mean we have to like it.
