Hunting Forgotten Hillclimbs With M Power By Alok Paleri

It's a typical SpeedHunters feature with bad writing but pretty pictures. The 1M doesn't show up until the second page. The author seemed to have really enjoyed his time with the car.

Is this a forum member's 1M?


Some highlights below:

And what a toy it was… the BMW 1 Series M Coupe. The little brother in the ‘M’ family and the spiritual successor to the iconic E30 M3, this offer was too good to pass up.

This lighter and wider layout rendered itself as impressive mechanical grip during cornering. The amount of feedback that you get through the seat bottom and the steering wheel are incredible. Each time under cornering, I could feel exactly what the loaded outer wheels were doing.

As the skin of a bodybuilder is stretched across his body, the 1M has very taut lines, especially with the sharp creases and the proportionately large wheels.

Before I knew it, the sun was kissing the horizon and a layer of fog was slowly settling in the woods. It was time to call it a day. The opportunity to try out an old hill climb track like this, especially in a car as willing as the 1M Coupe was a hugely rewarding experience.

Nice read! Thanks for sharing.

I remember on my EPIC road trip, the most fun I had with the car were driving up the winding mountain passes. The car LOVES hill climbs and feels just sublime when doing it.
