OMG I can just see and hear the chubby dude in his pleated khakis and member's only jacket monotonously blathering on about the 'performance' car. Man I stopped DVR'ing that show a looong time ago. So painful in this day and age of in depth internet car reviews.

Although I'll likely record this one

^^

When I see their track tests (0-60, 1/4 mile and slalom... at 75/80 drag way... I get home sick.

Is 75/80 still around or has it become condos now?

mPlasticDesign · 11-02-2011, 06:24 PM

Yeah, I know it's a total fluff show, but hey it's more 1M pRon to watch. SPEEDtv's TestDrive will be a better show to look out for.

The drivers challenge they did with the M3 was pretty cool. Made me want do the Mdriving School!

You can always catch it on your iPhone/iPad as well with the PBS app (which is pretty awesome actually).

Thanks for this info. My local PBS isn't listing it and my direct tv has the national version blacked out.

iPad works for me.

And he is sure to review the latest mini van offering as well.

Thanks Metak for the find...

While we wait for the episode to air, Motorweek has a podcast panel discussion about the 1M here:

http://www.motorweek.org/features/podcasts

Podcast #62, discussion starts at ~ 10 minutes into the podcast. They talk about it for about 5 minutes and start digressing.

Tidbits: "...fun to drive...just an amazing car...sports car first, daily driver second...closest driving experience to a motorcycle of anything out there...the perfect marriage of the 1 series and M..."

The exact number of Members Only jackets worn is not known.

bdaddylo · 11-07-2011, 09:07 AM

I saw the review yesterday and the test results weren't the greatest as they had trouble launching the 1M. Comments on the handling were all positive.

Motorweek Test Results:

0-60 mph: 5.1 sec
1/4 mile: 13.1 sec
60-0 braking: 110 ft

robertm · 11-07-2011, 10:09 AM
