FLDetours - BMW 1M

[@NoxiousPond]

This is honestly my dream car. Every car review for this car says its a pure drivers car and almost every review says its the best M car to drive in years.

[@gweggorz]

I've driven the E92 M3 on a track before and I wasn't sure how there could be anything that felt better than that. Hopefully one of these days I'll be lucky enough to experience the 1M because it sounds like quite an experience. Awesome review guys!

[@AWDfreak]

I am thankful the 1M is only available in a proper 3-pedaled manual transmission. Thanks for the review!

[@TurboLag23]

Wow, nice review!!!! Very well done, very informative. And I'm impressed you guys got a hold of two of them! Damn, what a nice car!

[@xGabicca]

Mine will be arriving in June, can't fing wait.

[@Ch28Kid]

BEST REVIEW BETTER! You guys roll out high quality stuff.

[@ddouglasinc]

OMG! this FLDetours has HD!

[@jimakosgian26]

i wouldnt expect anything less from BMW the ultimate car maker ever!!!

[@NoxiousPond]

this is the best review of the car other than the epic jememy clarkson top gear review.

[@vampireangelus]

Great review guys.

[@NITROUSINJECTEDFISHY]

I agree the ass-end looks good with the fender flares and quad pipes. thats what people will see the most anyway right? VROOOM

[@Lilleputdk1]

Top tier review guys.

[@Lakefield_]

@Molo9000 the german price is with taxes included, where the US price is without taxes. i think every state has different taxes.

[@chris14091975]

great review

[@Lakefield_]

Great review guys. I really like this car. i have to see it in flesh. it will look even more bad ass than it does on video. @ 2:28 reflection on the door. Is that an M3 camera car, or another 1M?

[@oOoironhideoOo]

great episode, tons of quality ... amazing car btw .. before watching this review i would have picked the Audi RS3 (functionality,speed) , but now im a bit undecided :O ..

[@Hidezepickle]

@djmixmac nope this one uses a Bosch HPFP, the one with some issues was a Siemens model. Bit of failed manufacturing at Siemens if I recall correctly. The Bosch model has a little bit higher presure as well I think. Well atleast thats what the car in the Netherlands comes with, the Bosch HPFP... Guess it would be the same for the States since its an M.

[@touge242]

awesome review! Also, finally a proper bmw M.

[@timmy23apsb]

@eeeen321 the 4.4L BMW v8 is 555hp/500lb-ft not the other way around.

[@metaleggman18]

Haha, because of the racing footage I went dyslexic for a second and thought you guys got a chance to drive a M1. lmao.

[@TheBrokenEclipse]

now... how does it compare to the Audi RS3? Would be awesome if they could make a double test (aka. a comparison) between these two cars!

[@alibabaG420]

@Molo9000 there might be a spec difference and the tax on cars depends on the country

[@ge3edy]

i would totally buy one

[@reubenbridges]

JF as The Stig, Xcellent video.

[@drea177cha5er]

what's keeping me from jumping on this one is the fact that it's a turbo... till stuck in the high revving NA mode i guess... and doesn't it seem a bit tall? i saw a tester a few months ago and it looked like it was on stilts...

[@danthemanpatrick]

About that last part, where JF & Rich were sitting on that bench. Was that shot in Brooklyn by any chance?

[@bottomlayer]

They need to make a 1M four-door hatch!!!!!

[@BMFandu]

short but sweet :D

[@veteran011]

rich, how often do you grab kielbasas that you would compare the steering wheel to them?

[@eeeen321]

I am sorry FLD, but I can NOT take anyone serious who said the 4.4L 500hp/555tq twin turbo BMW v8 sounded like the 5 valve/cyl. 3.5L 375hp/268tq N/A Ferrari v8. That is crazy talk, crazy crazy talk.

[@Molo9000]

@jonnyroy 46,000 USD I don't understand US car prices... It's 43,000Euro in Germany. That's more than 60,000USD.

[@rpps]

@eeeen321 I will take the time to point out that Chris Harris of EVO Magazine recently said the all-new M5, which uses the same powerplant as the X5/6M, agreed that it sounded a bit like a Ferrari 355. But you know better, right?

[@highoctanefury]

this will be out of my price range.

[@Molo9000]

@BiggWormdpg I already used the price before taxes. Price including 19% VAT is 50,000euro (71,000USD). The only explanation I can come up with is that more competition and lower brand value in the US market drive prices down.

[@swinglow33]

@decamerondix ....and yet...JF explained it quite well.

[@peatkitt]

@bottomlayer probably will for the European market only. or you could go and get the Audi RS3

[@SiRHumpAlot924]

JF YOU ROCK man lol great vid guys keep em commen

[@timppa600]

where's the intro theme song?

[@camronm77]

Porque no Leo for the track time, porque?

[@Squabenphlaben]

Can you drive it in the Fast Lane daily?

[@lbryan250]

@rapandrnb yeah bmw buyers/drivers only care about specs right?

[@hadar911]

audio almost dies at 5.35?

[@Molo9000]

@captRudolph1337 Price including VAT is 50,000Euro.

[@rapandrnb]

WHATS THE 0-60 ????? I AM LOOKING TO BUY ONE AND YET NOT EVEN NE REVIEW GIVE ME ANY SPECS.

[@JPacheco91]

Its a mini BMW M3.

[@JMD09]

almost no engine/exhaust footage/sounds? all voice over? some trackside audio would have been nice...glad the car is what people have been looking for..the price is gonna be silly for that small a car though...

[@Stevenhiggles]

@Molo9000 me either. I wound understand import cost. but still....demand? Low demand so low price....the dealer here pays a lower price. Idk.

[@davidmac2007]

@ju08ju you're last then?

[@portla_delph]

How much does it cost

[@thebossisheretostay]

its cool but think i would settle for a second hand M3 or something like that

[@Robbyrebelous]

cheesy sitting on the bench scene at the end lol, good review tho

[@jonnyroy]

no price?

[@lcstay10]

not enough sound clips.

[@HughesTuning]

Seriously, no idea why there are any dislikes.

[@davidmac2007]

Group test BMW 1M v Audi RS3

[@eeeen321]

@timmy23apsb Whoops... My bad, you are right. *555hp/500tq.

[@XDRONIN]

To be honest I don't get the 1 series from BMW, nevermind the 1M; BMW already makes a real sport car the Z4 and between the 3M and Z4, what's the point for the 1M? I have no doubt it is a great car, but I still buy an used version of a 3M which would be still be better than a owning a 1M series.

[@butty41]

sounds nothing like a ferrari...because it sounds amazing :)

[@Leonidae]

@bottomlayer And 3-door as well..

[@lbryan250]

holy crap jf got a haircut

[@Ryosuke43]

They were in Hoboken! xD

[@peeps2142]

@ricepaddy69 it starts at $49,000

[@Greig300]

Rover 25 GTI.... this is MG ROVER's design!

[@nososandyman]

@thebossisheretostay I agree

[@txlxlxl]

Hold up...I'm an MIT engineer without a girlfriend...

[@samanbandana]

So m3 is better?

[@SoccerMan1337]

Thanks FLDetours for favoriting LastMinuteBooks

[@rapandrnb]

@lbryan250 No, not at all i only like buying a BMW to get pulled up next to C63 etc etc to get smoked right... ? stupid answer.

[@qak89]

if it would be substantialy cheaper than the m3, it would be great, only way to spoil it, is by too high price

[@cococly]

@randomdude10010 it would just be JC doing some donuts and make some smokes on the top gear track with old, boring jokes

[@decamerondix]

only MIT engineers with NO GIRLFRIENDS can understand!

[@edmaluf]

It's a lot of positive things. It's just not a beautiful car. Can't wait for the next generation.

[@Wolfenkuni]

MIT engineer with no GF or just a German Dipl. Ing. i would say.... The problem with the 1M is the pice. For the same money you get a well equipped 3 series with a powerful engine. that gives you much more car.

[@ASAIMUSIC]

JF would know a lil something about no girlfriends... jus kiddin

[@Cruxair]

it looks nice ... that means I cant buy it :s

[@gerfall]

All this for the low low price of... 50 grand! I'd go out and get a E46 coupe and put 10k in mods under the hood. Fuck brand new cars. Still have 15k in my pocket.

[@marksapollo]

Make Way For Noddy..... er, I mean the 1M......... Seriously, this looks more like a noddy car then any other 1 series Coupe!!! But I would buy it! Well I would get an M3 actually. Or the new M5 when it's out. You just don't know weather to praise or shoot whoever designed the 1 series coupe??

[@KOOLisOverRated]

get a room already

[@TomahokStites]

Lose the background music...

[@bmancodgta4]

LOL KELBASSA

[@ecosby100]

can you just turn all that shit of and just drive it

[@pretty00lights]

Not a good looking car. The proportions just look wrong, but i bet it drives like hell.

[@vipermoon_]

except it's ugly. no not the m package. the 1 series in general is very ugly

[@edmaluf]

it's just not pretty.

[@Gilliatt83]

bad review

[@Pajapajin]

great review guys!
