Is it my imagination, or does the engine sound a bit more racy and metallic, and a bit less bland and monotonous than in other videos? A bit more rumbly and growling.

It's definitely NOT your imagination. BMW is showing off one prototype right? None of the previous cars sounded this good. Perhaps they need to get rid of some of the sound insulation in the car?

He keeps repeating something at the end..lol

I believe the interviewer asks if this is the final prototype.

I would like to know what else they have tried and ruled out but nobody asks!

I'm going to vote for one car, and multiple sets of rims and tires taken along for the test drives, for fast and easy swaps of worn rubber.
The camo pattern on the car is exactly the same as far as I can tell, which would be difficult (and pointless) to duplicate with this swirly patched-on camo.

To my eye the black and white rims look like 19", so it doesn't look like there's a comparison test between 18" and 19" going on (with the black rims being 19" for sure, as is clear form the other thread).

Edited to add: If you are listening BMW, I will take my 1M in Deep Sea Blue metallic, with the same black 19" rims as in the closeup pics, thanks.

It sounds completely different from the outside to me also... Nothing like a stock N54/N55 car... More like Corsa or CPE exhaust. More racey... Odd

Yeah, he says no, but said that they're close. He also seems to state that the engine is not finalized yet, so they cannot disclose power figures and such... odd.

This exhaust is obviously different from the other one, unless it's a microphone difference...

Did someone once say they tried a V8 in it? The red prototype a while back?

I also noticed the different rims. Chris Harris goes for a ride in the silver rims but the M Power video shows the car sporting black ones.

It seems though the driver confirms that it will be only MT.
" Yes, its a real boy/born racer" is the comment the driver makes when asks this question.

Loving the sound of the car in this video compared to the other videos

I want DCT, I like that gearbox, especially for a small turbo car like the 1M.

One with black rims and one with silver rims

And maybe one with more hp and one with less, one with a different exhaust and one with a quieter one.

Imagine if they dropped a modified, de-tuned version of the M3's V8 in there with higher torque??? That would be sick. I'm with many people hoping it's a NA motor. I do like the N54, but the M3's motor is amazing!

Interesting car, but the camouflage at this point is superfluous.
I have that trim for over a year now, and never had that problem...
