Evo Magazine

My subscribers edition of Evo just dropped onto the doormat.

There is a lot of 1M content:

16 page group test vs Cayman R, Nissan 370ZGT and TTRS. The 1M and Cayman get 5 stars, 370 4 1/2, TTRS 4 stars. The test included their traditional lap times round Bedford Autodrome's West circuit - Cayman 1.25.5, 1M, 1.25.9, 370Z 1.27.1, TTRS, 1.27.3. Summary quote: "The 1-series M sets a new benchmark for only-car, multi-purpose, real-life ability and desireability".

3 page 1M vs E92 M3 - "The M3 is an absolutely wonderful thing. The 1M is even better".

Guys, buy the mag - quality journalism deserves your £££ and $$$ in support!

Beat the TTRS and came within milliseconds of the Cayman R? These are incredible track results.

Dan Parker · 05-20-2011, 07:08 AM

EVO is simply the best car mag out there. It's the Hustler of car porn!

Rasya · 05-20-2011, 07:09 AM

Will buy, but it's not available in belgium yet. It's the july issue, right?

cc3 · 05-20-2011, 07:47 AM

Just tried to buy in UK but not out yet in my local Smiths. Those times are amazing! I agree it's so much more fun than an M3.

MrRoboto · 05-20-2011, 07:50 AM

Nice, Proper review.

Can't buy it online or for iPad either.

This is the review I have been waiting for. Real enthusiasts putting the 1M to the test and it showing its true abilities in the hands of competent drivers. Awesome! Four tenths of a second off of the Cayman R is quite fine by me.

Pugland53 · 05-20-2011, 08:38 AM

I subscribe to Evo but mine hasn't arrived yet, damn!

superchargedman · 05-20-2011, 09:29 AM

I hear Audi and m3 owners coming. Here comes a pissing contest.

Yup...I can hear the comments now...but the 1M is ugly, fuel pump issues, not a real M car...

Awesome! Don't have a subscription to EVO but will have to go to Barnes & Noble and pick it up!

MrRoboto · 05-20-2011, 10:53 AM

On a side note. I believe EVO clocked the E92M3 at the same circuit at 127.0 :-)

No, their time in the E92 is.....125.9 :-) The saloon clocked 126.2.

The M3 had a higher maximum speed (108.8 vs 106.4)m which really tells you something about how the 1M handles!

biggles · 05-20-2011, 12:26 PM

Does anyone know when this evo hits the shelves on public sale?

Cheers

127.0 is what I see.

Funny they didn't clump the Evora in there. British mags think Brit cars rule. For my $ I'm staying German from now on after a year with an Elise SC. One dementional and a bit overated IMHO.

I haven't driven an Evora but sat in them. For the price I'm not seeing the quality build/fit n finish wise. The folks over on Lotus talk have all drank the "better than a Porsche" kool-ade. They're nice if you can get one for what they should cost, like $50k.

A recent review has an Evora S beating a base 911 (barely). I took that with a pound of salt.

Bang for the buck the 1M is untouchable. Bravo BMW!

I've driven an evora recently...handles great and feels balanced, but it also feels quite underpowered.

It's online now for iPad on the EVO app. Much less than newsstand.
