Each of you already knows this but... The 2011 BMW 1M was the car of the year for top gear UK's richard hammond. Having owned this car for a while, and also owning a regular flavor 135i DCT, the 1M is a pure sports car in plain clothes - a simple driveline, lots of torque, grippy tires, tons of brakes, and a short wheelbase reinforces and redefines what BMW does best - the ultimate driving machine indeed.
