Bmw 1M vs M3

[tuanlibos93]

Hey guys, just wanted to share a little race i had against an e92 M3

The 1m has afe intakes with scoops and the JB on map 2, both manual transmission

the run was from 40 mph and I easily got more than 2 car lengths on him

[BFD99]

Nice! LOL

[mPlasticDesign]

So you're saying the 1M is fast? Good to know!

[EINSER M]

someone got boosted!!!!!!

[speedyjoe]

no surprise through as you have JB2 with afe on hand while the M3 bone stock.

Not bad for a "glorified-135i-parts-bin-ain't-a-real-M" car

[luial]

I honestly think it will still beat the M3 even if its bone stock (by a nose maybe but still beat it)

Hilarious

I'm surprised no one is going off on OP street racing.

OT what's your screen name stand for?

[azmurciev12]

my stock 1M, has lots several vids now on youtube, has beaten M5, M6, and M3 (all stock). nobody on youtube would believe that my car is stock but it was during that time.

now that it is tuned, i just beat a 997 Carrera GTS. but i've never won against a tuned C63. i'll try again when my mods are all together and see how that goes.

some links if you want to see:

the 1M really overdelivers from its claims.

Yea i saw this race like a month ago, i believe it.. The only thing i dont get is how do you beat the M5 and not the C63

Really wish the RS4 would return to TT form!

[azmurciev12]

for some reason, here in the Philippines, all the M5s and M6s we tested are simply SLOW. the M3 is even faster. and we've tested like 6 or 7 units, different fuels, and they are all the same... slow.

the C63 on the other hand are always fast. the one i raced has been reflashed and with x-pipes so it's making over 500hp.

+2000, sadly Audi believes there are no takers for Avants. Silly how they brought the B7 RS4 convertible, yet no Avant. They barely sold 200 of the verts, i am sure the Avant would have fared far better...

Silly question, but was the M5 on P400 mode by any chance?

Also, do the M5/M6s in the Philippines come with the charcoal filters? That's how they came to the US (and not in Europe), so most owners removed them and gained the full HP potential of the car.

Even used B7/8 avants are getting hard to find. If I ever come across a good one I am going to grab it.

I'd buy an RS4 avant, and I know two friends who would consider on as well. The CTS-V wagon has sold surprisingly well, and one friend only passed due to reliability issues. Yes it's low volume, but I'd argue worth it for the halo effect alone.

Indeed, the B7 S4s still hold value very well, and sadly no B8 S4 Avants ever made it here. With the tuning potential of the 3.0 S/C (even though Audi calls it 3.0T) engine, would be a great family hauler.

I'd be all over an Avant myself, likely at least 30% of existing RS 4 sedan buyers would have (and will if offered) opted for the Avant. I would rather drive a sporty wagon than be seen in an SUV.

lol at those videos. They are all so off. The c63 will pull slightly on an M3. So how did you pull hard on an M3 then get pulled slightly by the AMG? A 911 GTS will smoke an M3. There's no way a 1M is keeping up with that car.

M6>M5>M3>1M
In terms of straight line speed.

I believe he said the C63 was "tuned"

From a 30mph rolling start, the M3 and 1M are pretty much neck and neck till about 60-70mph and then the M3 will start pulling away. For the M3 to perform optimally, it has to be in the lowest gear possible to make the best use of its power band. I suspect in a lot of videos, the M3 isn't in its lowest gear. Most would do 2nd gear rolling starts at a low speed, but the M3 needs to be in first gear right up to just over 40mph. Point being, when both cars are in their optimal gears for the road speed, the M3 will still out accelerate a 1M. Obviously, I'm talking about unmodified cars. In the end of the day both are great cars and I've driven both. In the M3, you have to work to get the best out of the engine, whereas the 1M can provide excellent acceleration in nearly any gear, which is the byproduct of its colossal torque. Regardless, straight line speed isn't everything, M cars aren't drag machines.
