    In this video I review the BMW 1M Coupe from 2011. I will show you round the outside of the car, the inside, talk through the upgrades to the normal 1 Series chassis and try out it's 3.0-litre straight six turbo engine. I'll also launch the car to see how fast it is from 0-60mph!

      I think the F87 M2 comes closest in terms of size, form factor, classic appointments, weight, power and handling, sound… specifically the 2018M2LCI (the CS is special but of course it is). There is only one year that brings it all together IMHO.

    I had a 135i coupe and wrote it off. It had catless downpipes, Wagner intercooler, aluminium charge pipe, and modded intake. The tune on the n54 was at about 455hp and I daily drove it.
    Every single day it absolutely shocked and embarrassed far dearer cars.
    I drive an m235i now with similar mods, but I miss that 1 series every single day. No engine like it.

    I would recommend looking at the 135I instead since it has the same n54 engine and there is huge aftermarket support for them like the 335i. The 135I starts at around 10k but with an auto. Also one thing the 135 and m1 have over the m3 CSL is the fact you can make 500+ hp easily without opening your engine because of the n54. So basically you could get similar performance to the g80m3/4 for less than half the cost of one if you get the 135I. Where the m3 CSL is kind of stuck in its time when it comes to power numbers unless you get a built engine.

    I thought it would have amazing feedback through Steering, with it being hydraulic

    Surprised you don't like manual BMW boxes. One of the best imo 👍

      They’re alright but Honda and Mazda make better ones. It almost seems like manual gearboxes were an afterthought for BMW.

    I’m one of the lucky people who own one of these. It’s such a blast to drive. It’s not the fastest M car but definitely best driving experience. I had an m4 prior to the 1m.

      Do you worry about putting miles on it, as it seems to retain its brilliant used price it is very mileage sensitive.

      @@brianiswrong not at all. I drive it like it’s meant to be driven and take very good care of it, so it lasts forever

    I’d still have the Z4M coupe instead. Same engine as the e46 m3 with less weight
