I test-drove an M3 coupe (manual) last w/end and found it curiously less nimble than the 135i and ever so slightly clunkier-feeling. Nice noise for sure, and lots of poke. But then my 135i goes almost as well and makes a fantastic noise courtesy of its Performance exhaust (no other mods), even if it doesn't rev to north of 8k like the M3. Came away feeling the M3 would be better with the DCT box.

Will be very interested to see if the 1M can cure the 135i's tendency to feel too civilised and normal most of the time. I'd like something a bit more lunatic!

Yet another one, congrats!

Have fun guys! Looking forward to hear your impressions.

Best regards,
south

They should be hitting the track right about now. Hopefully we'll hear something at the end of the day (German time). These guys should have set up Twitter accounts so we could track their progress.

Would be a good idea but I suspect they are under a non disclosure agreement or are just too damn excited!

I'm honestly surprised the BMW marketing team didn't take advantage of Twitter or something similar for this event. Might as well milk as much free publicity as possible...

Good idea. Personally I have only recently started using Teitter even though I work in IT in particular to follow certain sites and I'm now addicted. Much like this forum.

Especially considering they are quite on top of social networking including Facebook.

From what I heard in M training yesterday, they don't want then tweeting about it yet. I guess my email saying that I would do live updates didn't help my chances to win the trip!

That seems crazy to me--I would think that they would want that info out there--since we can't all be there to do this ourselves...

I hope we get good reports.

gobuffs · 11-18-2010, 12:27 PM

Preliminary reports are very very good. Can't say more b/c the participants can't say more til they release the video.

southlight · 11-18-2010, 03:48 PM

There's an embargo on anything coming from the test drive event. So let's be patient for a little while.

Best regards,
south

South and another person are correct. The participants have been asked not to release details currently. A video of the event is being edited currently for immediate release, hopefully within 24-48 hrs.

Once it has been released we can then fill you in. Please be advised that Many of the participants are travelling home today. Please check m-power.com for updates.

Profes.Adam · 11-19-2010, 02:02 PM

Hello All,

I have just got back from the 1M first drive in Leipzip, I currently own a 135i sauber edition and have also driven a e92 M3.

Unfortunatly I cannot disclose any information about the 1M for the moment,
I will be glad to post my experience later when authorized to.

I was picked from Switzerland, I only wanted to join this forum as I think this is the meet point for 1M enthusiasts.

Cheers

Adam

enigma135 · 11-19-2010, 02:04 PM

I'm very interrested to read about your driving experience, especially compared to the Sauber 135i later on when you're allowed to disclose some information

What was different about the Sauber edition? Other than the stripes? BMW Performance goodies?
