Yellow Flag! Pace car comes back out.

BimmerMeUp · 01-29-2011, 02:39 PM

I'm really enjoying seeing the 1M at Daytona!

cracka · 01-29-2011, 02:53 PM

Hear, hear! Let's hope pieces keep flying off that Camaro.

DriveHard · 01-29-2011, 03:26 PM

Im at work and we dont get speed on our tv's... is there a live feed i can stream that someone knows about ???

The fact that the pacecar slots in front of a whole bunch of DP-class cars that are about a foot lower, doesn't do the stance and proportions justice.

Shame the TV coverage over here started after 55 minutes of the race!

Still 1M has been out a lot. Looks good!

Get to see a lot of the rear boot lid.

Ah! And I thought I missed the start. But saw it one time now

<yawn> GT3's - SHOW ME MORE 1M Pace car!!!

Nice to see VO at different sunlight levels. The latest caution was at dusk and VO looked as good as it can for not being a blue.

I also love the fact that the announcers are calling it the 1M. Seems like everyone except BMW thinks "1 series M coupe" is bombastic.

Future M1 owner · 01-29-2011, 05:34 PM

Yep, now I'm sure: the 1SMC just begs to be lowered a bit.

The M3 in the race is running and sounding great, by the way.

Novator · 01-29-2011, 05:43 PM

I'm loving the 1M in Valencia Orange, can't help wanting to see more cautions so the 1M can continue parading around the track.

Sylon · 01-29-2011, 07:02 PM

SPEED just did a feature video of the new 1M! I wish I would have known about 2 minutes sooner that they were going to do that, I would have recorded it and uploaded it to YT.

I still don't know why it's that high. Only thing i definitely don't like about the 1M.

I thought it looked awfully high too. I wonder if it is just lighting or camera angle.

Or, maybe I've just grown accustomed to the lowered look of my car.

No no, you're right, it is way too high. It even gets worse, when the car is watched from the inner side of a corner.

I just don't get it. Since they developed new body parts, they at least could have modified them so far, that the distance to the front wheels is shorter. It wouldn't have made the car lower, but looked less horrible.

And I thought my MK5 GTI was too high...This is getting on my nerves already.

MDORPHN · 01-29-2011, 08:37 PM

Agree it rides too high. Also seems to have too much rake.
