New video of the BMW M1 / 1M @ the ring (very nicely shot)

ZER0_C00L · 04-29-2010, 02:12 PM

would a 135is handle like that? I think not

Upgrade+ · 04-29-2010, 02:19 PM

I'm thinking single dual side exhaust ala 335i.

Alumac · 04-29-2010, 02:32 PM

Can't help but wonder with the exhaust being so tame in this video if they aren't bothering with it until they put the 4 pipe production one on!

Harold Wood · 04-29-2010, 02:59 PM

I wonder if the driver loves his job or is it another day at the office ?

Thanks for posting a great video

+1
I think the same thing. They just put BMW Performance exhaust until the quad-exhaust is ready.

It can.

Juke · 04-29-2010, 03:55 PM

There is dual clutch 7-speed transmission....
You can hear it at 0:33

ManGGouste · 04-29-2010, 04:02 PM

Why is everybody's thinking that a quad setup is so cool ?

That's marketing bull$§%t. Too heavy, and useless since there's a 2-in-one before. Better remove some weight, those moderns cars are all way too heavy.
Gimme a M1 with an NA 3.8L reving up to 8400 rpm and a weight below 1400 kg.

jeff@autocouture · 04-29-2010, 04:03 PM

m cars arent usually loud.... the have a deep sound, but not loud

How is it marketing BS? It is a preference. Many of us prefer it aesthetically and dont care if it adds a couple more pounds. When one chooses to drop 50k on a car its understandable to have choices. Our body weights vary drastically as well so consider it a wash. You are looking at the wrong car with your stated specs.

AchtungF80 · 04-29-2010, 04:26 PM

-1...I'm also thinking on a car this size with a twin turbo 6...quads make no sense unless its at least a true dual exhaust. Aside from aesthetics, I'm more interested in the specs of the engine / curb weight / and performance numbers, now how many tailpipes it has...

Taymaishu · 04-29-2010, 04:44 PM

GREAT suspension, but do i spy a single exhaust on that car?

I'm good w/ my 135 perf exhaust, perf suspension if no quad exhaust.

I have a feeling it will be duals. As a hommage to the original M3´s (e30 and e36). This is BMW, not OTT Lamborghini and the likes. I could be wrong of course, but duals would be

JimmyT · 04-29-2010, 05:10 PM

car sounds and really looks good to me... just bring it already!!!

ChrisK · 04-29-2010, 05:58 PM

I am really surprised how many people are hung up on the quads. The number of pipes sticking out of the back of the car is the least of my concerns.

amdmaxx · 04-29-2010, 06:06 PM

yep. manual tranny

DASHOCKER · 04-29-2010, 06:14 PM

This is going to be a nice M car

catserfp · 04-29-2010, 06:22 PM

Com'on, it's a 135i w/19"s...

There's always a few of these opinions.

Additionally, SCOTT has stated before that 18's are the best wheel size for the M1--so even if these are 19's, I doubt we will see them.
