Select journalists were recently provided near production ready 1M coupes to test drive and review. Motortrend has now weighed in with their first drive impression, calling the 1M's high level of control and cornering a level that seems impossible outside the virtual world of Sony's Gran Turismo.

This car going to insane and highly sought after. Unfortunately, I will have to wait until the 2014 model. But, think how much better the 1M will be with more development time and its own engine!

Yeah this "review" seems more like an advertisement to me than any sort of assessment.

And the 1M becomes ever more disappointing... No ducktail, no carbon fiber roof... anything else we should be let down about?
Body kit with M3 suspension and LSD and mild tune... |

I don't understand how motortrend could or would publish before BMW would?
How does that make any sense???????? Someone explain! Hasn't BMW been keeping this info under wraps?

So the starting 1M price is about $45K (probably no ED option), versus an ED bare-bones M3 is around $50K, neither including tax etc.
It's a bit of a tough-sell... ![]() |

Current 135i manual = 3373 Current M3 = 3704 1M = 3504 or 3173. If it's the latter 1M becomes more attractive, otherwise still a VERY good car but not a titan slayer before mod. Check out the width of tire compare to E30 M3, holy crap.
