DRIVEN – BMW 1M – Best M Car of all time ? (Incl. VMax run at 270kmph !) | 4K

I got to drive the iconic BMW 1M to Germany and completely fell for the child M Vehicle. It has the perfect dish for a terrific motorist automobile. An effective and awesome sounding 3.0 L twin turbo directly six, rear wheel drive and a manual transmission!

Big thank to Patrick for the drive by and tracking video footage.

The 1M is a beautiful car. I’d love to drive one some day. The closest I’ve ever got to it, was a 125d courtesy car I had many years ago. To be fair, that was a lovely drive, so I can only dream of how good the 1M is. Great video though Pete. Really got across the magic of the 1M. 😊

Ah. The BMW 1M! The only ICE-powered BMW (bar the hybrid i8) they made this century. The rest of the models seem superfluous in comparison… It embodied all the basic values of the old BMW firm with a minimum of useless rubbish in it. I’m glad you were able to enjoy one! I shouldn’t be surprised to learn that I also drove my Prelude on the same roads on which you drive this car. Mahalo…for taking videos of places in these places where I totally lacked the technology to video back in the day…

It’s nice when a car surprises you, and what a place to enjoy it. I love the area surrounding the Ring, it’s just stunning. Great review as always mate.

“The Ultimate Driving Machine”. A proper drivers car. I’ve had 3 x 3 Series. I love them. Would love to have a drive of the 1M or any M car for that matter.

Yep, that’s going in my list of cars I must have. I did have the 2.0L TD coupe and even that was a lot of fun. They are very pretty and a definite future classic, you’re right 👍🏼 Perhaps in future with performance cars you could have a camera over the exhaust to get a good audio of that.

Happy you finally got a drive in one, and great review!
For those who haven’t had the chance to drive one, they can live vicariously through you for 19 minutes ❤
I love mine – amazing car. I couldn’t leave it alone though – so now it has some modern stickier rubber, some Ohlins dampers, and double the HP 😅

The way this video built up, I was fully prepared for you to announce you were selling the Mini and buying one!

Great review! I have 2012 1M in valencia orange. It definitely is The Ultimate Driving Machine. It is hard to even think of a better car for a car enthusiast (it is quick, aggressive, nimble, responsive…)

Deffo a “modern classic”, Pete. A thing of mechanical beauty.

I’ve had a 123d manual coupe for 9 years love it. Not driven the 1M, but I did have a 135i so I’m sure I’d like the 1M 🤣

For twenty years I had a Z3M. Rear wheel drive, limited slip diff and 320BHP. Mad car and very capable of frightening you. Compared with my 911 turbo and M135i it was a much more enjoyable car to drive than the two more modern cars.

One of the nicest sounds, all cars included! It must be a gem to drive! Definitely a car you would want in your garage! Thanks Pete! Cheers, Tom

If you think the 3 litre 1m sounds good and drives well you should drive one like mine with the e92 m3 V8 installed. It’s awesome!

Great review Ped! Nice seeing some classics! Btw how do car reviewers such as yourself manage to not get speeding points when these days it’s so easy to get points even if you’re not trying to speed. I can imagine some reviewers have had to stop after getting 6 or more points.
