Autocar's recently released their print version of their BMW 1M vs. Cayman R comparison in their magazine, and now here's the video version. The video is below for your enjoyment, but here's some notable excerpts from their magazine review:
Quote:
In an impromtu side by side comparison starting at 1500 rpm it left the Porsche for dead. By the time the BMW limiter arrived it had opened up a 70/80 metre gap. And when we tried in fourth, fifth and sixth the gap grew wider'
'The amazing thing though is that the BMW can stay with the Cayman R across the Scottish highlands. It can live with the Porsche because it handles, rides, steers and stops just how an M car should'
'The Im pulls like a mad dog from pretty much any engine speed'
They just give the nod to the Cayman R but it's so close. 'To quote It's a heck of a lot of car for the money the 1M'
