This is actually a thing racecar drivers did in the past. Through vibrations and cornering-forces the pistons in the brake calipers can retract, so when you brake the next time, you will have to first push the brake pads close to the discs and then have braking force. This results in really long pedal throw and can be dangerous if you can't brake fully because of the pedal bottoming out. :)
My racing mentor taught me this about 40 years ago and I still use it driving my daily at crawl speeds lol. He called it 'priming the master cylinder' and in extreme cases 'brace for impact' when you realize you don't have any brake pressure. The latter probably saved my life one day when both myself and the scrutineers missed the brake pedal retaining spring (self built single seater). A few laps into the race, the brake pedal moved back onto my heel rest but moved enough to pull the pin from the master cylinder. I had no brakes at about 180kph but realising that before the horse shoe corner gave me enough time to flick the back end and enter the sandtrap sideways - which slowed me down right away before I hit the tyres. It was that or nose first into the barrier :)
Remember driving a Lotus Elise on a track & locking up front wheels every time under hard braking. Advice was to apply gentle braking to transfer weight to front wheels, then hard brake for the bend. Worked every time. Not suggesting above explanation is incorrect btw.
This car was almost completely outsourced to Italian designers, then they gave up on sports cars. BMW "M" is such a joke, their racing and sport pedigree is weak.
I don't know what microphone(s) is(are) used, but for having listened to a lot of professionally recorded audio of inboards, this has the best clarity, frequency balance and overall audio fidelity, better than 99.999% of the content you can find on youtube usually.
Hard to put into words but the way the sound is recorded it sounds different than most car videos and you really feel like you’re there. Thanks for another one Robbert
I will never forget hearing an m1 and a 3.0csl whailing off the hills in Schenley Park in Pittsburgh many years ago at the PVGP. The best sounds ever! Second place goes to the 458 echoing off Baltimore high rises at the Grand Prix. 9krpm FTWs!
I trawled around the european GP rounds in my youth in '79. Can you imagine what a grid full of them sounded like? A veritable racket of banshees. Loved the M1 from the first moment and these cars en masse were an unbelievable sight and with GP drivers at the wheel and not just the fastest 5 in the works cars. Those guys really gave them the gun. One of the few times you see GP drivers in the same equipment doing their stuff and there wasn't much between them a lot of the time. It's great they are still out there. Takes me back........ Reply
The only thing I don't like in the street version are the wheels. They look like they were designed to look futuristic at the time, but would look better with some BBS''s or something.
Respect au pilote. Il maîtrise sa boîte mécanique et son talon pointe à la perfection. C’est beau. La classe. Sans assistance de pilotage. Ça glisse ça contre-braque. Le pilotage pur. Merci mec tu m’as fais plaisir. Bruit au top 🎉en prime.
Absolutely awesome sounding BMW , was at Bathurst in 1983 there was a Black JPS BMW 635CSi driven by Jim Richards i swear that was the Loudest car at the meeting
BMW M's, even the first M3 which is a 4 cylinder, are the loudest touring cars (if they have open exhaust of course). Even the F2 March is insanely loud. I Love them.
Alright. This gentleman was driving the wheels off this car in the first 20 seconds. Engine sounds larger bore by a smidge. It sounds like the horsepower and torque are exactly the same. He doesn't have to rev it out it's just smooth and has grunt with very good throttle response.
😮 OMG! Remembered this BMW M1 with the normally aspirated 3.5 Liter Straight-Six engine alright >>> The Power , Speed , Looks & Sound >>> a Masterpiece on Wheels by BMW! Thank You So Much Robbert Alblas for the Clear & Crisp Video & Audio! 😊🙏 Many Happy Good Blessings in Return to Master Robbert & Team! 🌷🌿🌏✌💜🕊
As a child, I had a 48"x36" poster of this car in M-livery, and I was fortunate enough to see one race (oh, that sound) and later drive one of the first grey-market M535i and M635i...Beautiful experiences that still leave me wanting to find and drive a 1st gen M635 again... Que bella!
I remembered in the late 80s, seeing this car on the box of a Scalextric set, and immediately, i loved it. The design, just wow. Later on, would read about it, in magazines. Wish I can own one, someday. What a marvelous car.
Thankfully it does exactly NOT sound like a darn Flachkäfer! Don’t get me wrong, Mezgers are great, I even own one, but they are nothing in comparison to a M88/1, not even airboxed S50/54s, 2.8/3.0 RSRs and GT3s included.
I experienced the BMW M1 and the Porsche Turbo live on the Salzburgring race track in Austria in the 1980s. You can't imagine a bigger difference in the sound of these two racing cars. The rather deep rumble of the turbocharged Porsche engines contrasted with the almost infernal screech of the extremely high-revving naturally aspirated M1 engines.
Thanks for sharing, sound of that engine is beautiful. Driver makes it looks so easy. Shifting is precise, hitting all apexes and pushing the car to its limits. That's what it's all about.
I'm a simple man, I see a Rob upload I hit like. Your quality is unreal, every serious race team needs to get in touch with you for you to record their cars man
What a great video. Wonderful car, beautifully prepared and driven. Great sounds and the perfect camera position too. Top notch offering, a real treat. Cheers.
That was epic It such a shame that in the future we will only have videos like this to remind us that cars made a great sound and the noise is all part of the thrill of watching Motorsport I truly hope that when the world is running on electric all these classics have stored enough petrol that they can bring them out and show the once cars used to make your stand up and send shivers down your spine Please keep all the classics alive ❤
What shocked me the most when I first heard one of these absolute beasts, is just how *insanely loud* they are. We're talking 787B-levels of loud here.
Je viens de découvrir votre chaine grâce à la 575 Maranello. Que dire, les vidéos sont d'une qualité incroyable ! Le nombre de vues et de like n'est absolument pas digne de ce travail, peu importe combien vous êtes derrière cette chaine, bons nombres de gros youtubeurs sont incapables de faire un aussi beau travail. Chapeau ! Et pour ce qui est des plans avec ce genre de caméras inboard, on se rend tellement mieux compte de la dextérité de pilotage qu'il faut pour ce genre de voiture ! Les vibrations de la caméra, tout y est pour s'y croire en passager. Tellement mieux que les caméras qui lissent tout en image... !
ITB's and sequential, Mechanical Fuel injection with a High pressure pump (same as Porsche had on production cars from 70 to 73 for the 911 E and S) my S used to put goosebumps on my arm.. the mean metallic sound when it hits the cam was unbelievable..
After the Group A era in Australia, Frank Gardiner and Jim Richards put together a Group B 635M and on a dyno in Sydney, the engine, an M1 engine shipped from Munich put out 470bhp at 9500 rpm. It was something to witness. They did a whole season without a rebuild. Then they decommissioned it and reverted it to Group A and it was sold. The engine went back to Munich. I was at the dyno session. It probably would have gone to 11,000 but it was too precious. It was not long after that BMW developed the F1 Turbo engine and we know all about that.
The M1 pro car is one of the best sounding race cars ever made
It hard to debate the engine noise comparing to 2JZ or anything with Inline six layout
U basically saying this sounds better than a track forged built rb26 .. ok lmfao

I love how he meticulously checks that the brakes do indeed work shortly before each big braking zone.

One of the best sounding 6-cylinder engines ever.
Great video!
Never thought I'd get to ride along in an M1. You're the best Robbert, keep up the great work!
LoL agreed, how incredible!
3:00 that outboard shot flying by on the main straight is just eargasm (with exhaust flame for cherry on top 🤌🏽)
...and a busy day in office at 3:20ish
Came here for the incredible sound, stayed for the exquisite driving experience.
I think this is actually the first car video i've put in my music playlist. Absolutely incredible

Perrrrfect sound, i will never get bored to this. Long live M30/M49/M88/S38 family!
And great driving too!
Love the sound of Procar in the morning, Thanks Robbert
I saw these cars live at Hockenheim in 2008 when they did BMW Procar revival at the F1 race... Godly sounds!
Ahh... the glorious sound of the M88!
You have very quickly become the best car channel on UA-cam.
I don't know how you do it, but your onboard videos capture the sensation of driving incredibly well.
Absolutely glorious. This is the best era of racing. I've never been to Spa. I hope to go some day. Thank you.

another banger by rob as always
There’s not many Bimmers that catch my attention, but the sound on this one is intoxicating, and surprised even more by the manual gearbox
🤩

That’s simply top shelf. The sound is epic and whoever is driving is a solid steer as well - that little caught slide at the end was lovely.
The shake in the camera is awesome, it's like you feeling the car.
Sometimes I wonder why people adore the M1 so much...
Then I remember it's the best car BMW ever produced
your videos are like nothing else on this platform, keep up the amazing work
Saw a real M1 a few years ago in a small shop, i think it was one of the mechanics pride and joy
Sweet lord that is impressive!

First time I eventually hear and see the M1 on a circuit. I had to wait more than 4 decades!
This video now lives in my head rent free.
This is my favorite car on AMS2 so satisfying when you get it right.
Iconic gt racecar!! Incredible sound,perfect driver!! Very good!! Amazing! Statisfaction!!!
Oh my God, this is scary, I felt like the car was going to take off at any moment
Man that was absolutely epic!
the way he drove it on the bus stop on the last part of the clip is why I love racing
The M1 not only sounds eargasmic, it also devours long distances in rapid time.
