1M Coupe Runs Nurburgring in 8:12
Guys, I thought you'd all like to know that the official lap time of the 1 Series M Coupe around the Nurburgring is 8:12, which is 10 seconds per lap quicker than the E46 M3 was.

Bet those extra few seconds were on the back uphill section and the front straight where the higher top end in the M3 comes more into play.
Id love to see sector times for both. |

It is much lighter and it has aggressive geometry set up. I just exchanged E92 for E46 CSL and other than on straights, CSL is uncomparably more agile, has much more downforce and an amazing speed through corners.

Waiting to see when someone or a company preps a 1M and gets it on the 'ring to see how it will really perform. Better yet, Would really like to see one in the 24hr race at Nurburgring next year.

Not bad... here are some other times I dug up
8:06 Porsche Cayman S PDK (08) 8:16 Porsche Cayman S PDK (08) 8:09 Audi TT-RS (09) 8:13 Mercedes Benz C63 AMG (07) 8:18 Porsche Boxter S (09) 8:18 Lexus IS-F (07) 8:23 VW Golf R (10) 8:26 BMW 335i coupe (06) 8:26 AUDI S5 (07) 8:29 Audi TT-S (08) Couldn't find lap times for Evo X, STI, or 370z Also surprised the Porsche Cayman S has lap times 11 seconds apart. I THINK, it's because of 19" vs 17" wheels and ceramic vs stock brakes. Very surprised by the TT-RS, unfortunately here in Canada, we only have the TT-S which already starts at 57,900 and only comes in DSG. |
