I just had a thought:
BMW is soon going to release a new top range diesel engine to rival the other V8 diesels, but it is going to be an I6 Tri-Turbo with over 350 PS and 800 Nm. What if the M1 or next M3 get such gazoline I6 Tri-Turbo based on the N55? |

I don't think it's going to be the 1M, but a good chance with the next M3?

It ran a "full" lap for that time, and the driver was not a professional. Same driver managed 8:31 with a Cayman S.

^^^^All timed laps are full laps, the main point is that it was not a professional driver, and it was with traffic. In reality I suspect the times for a 335i and 135i are very similar, i.e. ~8.26...

Love to watch Chris Harris in action, boy can that dude drive.
I think it was hard for him to just sit shotgun, instead of drive, as he was clearly born to do! [-CHRIS, if you are reading this, get a hold of the car man, and film the entire exercise!] |

Man, I really hope as others noted that the exhaust note is a work in progress...as best I could tell from the low quality audio, it doesnt sound any different than my stock 135i under acceleration.
Which disappoints because i was hoping there would be something us 1er folks could scavenge to get more of the M sound. |

First 1/4 mile is so so boring! Time will tell if the ///M division can overcome heat soak on this little monster and HPFP failures. If BMW only installs a 6 speed manual; the 1M won't touch a M-DCT M3 on the track, but then it depends on the driver!

Many different motorsports during the past 40+ years have been dominated by lower revving turbo-charged engines...... And as far as European manufacturers are concerned, legislation means it has to be the future. BMW have already now killed off the n/a ///M V10 this month, and the n/a ///M V8 in the E92 M3 will die when that model is replaced. |

Those Peugeot 908 and Audi R15 drivers must be bitterly complaining then, of positively unhealthy and uninspiring sounding engines with a 4800rpm redline, while they annihilate any and all other competitors out of corners.....with 885lb/ft of torque.....
I'm just sayin..... |
