I suppose the main problem with Top Gear is that it's an entertainment show with occasional facts in it. Chris Harris is a professional driver with genuine technical knowledge and interest in cars, and adding those two together just doesn't work. Don't get me wrong. I loved the old Top Gear, but that was defined by the Three Amigos. They made Top Gear. Not the other way around. They should've ended the show there and then, and tried something new. Chris and Neil's format is very appealing to me. Throwing some money their way is a safe bet for success. It's professional, a great cinematic experience (Top Gear staff could probably lift it to the next level), it's honest, and genuinely exciting to watch. Top Gear isn't anymore.

That's because what you see here is what Harris has always been about: he's been around the motoring journo scene for a while and developed his own format/ style (see CHoC, Chris Harris on /DRIVE) and this vid is essentially his format with a BBC/ TG badge on it.

I´m so glad Neil is still in the team! These are the videos that I show to non-enthusiasts, so they can get a glimpse what it´s really all about. For me, it is an art form. Car control on a circuit is no different from a soulful bend in the middle of a guitar solo or a perfect brush line on a canvas. Can´t afford the M2, but I´m not far away from owning the m140i with the new b58. And Chris, if you should read this, I´d love to produce some soundtracks to these videos.

I'm off BMWs, and have been for a while. I loved what BMW used to be, the E30s, E39 even the E90, but since then they've switched to very heavy and turbo charged. Not for me. BUT: the 1M got me at first sight, and i still get exited when i see one. The M2 might be a much better car, but nope.. If any of the newer BMWs, it would have to be a 1M. Kudos on what looks like a VERY nice example Chris. Nice choice :)

The 1M is one of my dream cars. I love the old BMW cars, I now own an E36 (although not an M3, but a beefed up 28i) and feel like the 1M is the last BMW that's close to the character of these old machines. Even though I never drove one. I drove an M2 though, and liked it a lot - it's just a little bit too 'new' for me.

Couldn´t agree more, the M2 CS was the last great car BMW produced, it all went downhill from there...i´ve driven an M4 CS and, while it´s an insane car on the Autobahn, it´s just not what i´m looking for in an M-car. Too heavy, no manuel and 510 hp on only the rear tires, you just can´t chase corners like you can with the old cars. I just love my E36 Coupe on another level! Plus i can do everything on it myself, it´s really great for tinkering around. The Bilstein suspension i put in it really brought the best out of the car and i feel like you just can´t have that same fun with the newer cars anymore.

If Chris gets to just DRIVE and no one tries to script some "cute/funny" crap; I don't care if it's Top Gear, Chris Harris on Cars, Drive or anything else. Just get out of his way and enjoy his skills and personality!! I know he appreciates BMWs; he's owned several. So have I, for more than 50 years. My current favorite is a 2001 330xi with a 5-speed stick and almost 200K on the clock. It's never left me stranded anywhere and is just an excellent, competent, all wheel drive little car. Chris is really good at just "cutting to the chase..." and making us smile at someone having an excellent day on the job! ;^)

I think this might be my all time favourite piece of automotive journalism! Maybe that's because I own a 1 series with a straight six, maybe that's because I lust over the 1M and think of it as a life goal to obtain it. Either way, I share Harris's enthusiasm for the pure driving experience. The cinematography is beautiful, what Harris has to say is insightful able it nothing new, It's nice to hear. The welsh Angelsy track is a personal favourite. I couldn't pick better circum stances if I tried. I'd love to see the 1M round a dry track like snetterton filmed from the cabin. Either way, absolutely smashing!

The 1M is probably the only modern M cars I'd consider buying. It's small, it slides around, and it has a nice noise. Plus in Indonesia the price keeps on going down and it's possibly the only M car that is available in manual here.

The 1M is just one of those cars that almost should have been a mistake, but less thought = something truly special. I believe this will end up being one of the most loved BMWs ever. Truly baddass, truly representative of a pure analogue, RWD, manual driving experience. Buy one, put it away fellas...

Great enthusiastic video with some great narrating and drifting shots! Thanks for burning up your tires for our enjoyment! After driving an M2, I decided it was just too harsh for my older butt. Earlier, I looked at the 1M, but they are wildly priced now and could have engine woes...especially now out of warranty. So, I saved a bit of money and bought a CPO M240i. A bit softer, but its B58 engine may prove more reliable with the "closed deck" structure and upgraded direct injection. Plus, I like the multiple suspension settings. Now, I just need to save up for a locking diff upgrade.

No other car review person can beat Chris Harris, his simply the best and down to straight talking facts and stuff you actually want to know about the cars. Obviously on BBC he has to follow the script but here, his back to his roots where he started the KZbin videos..Chris Harris Drives ! Bring on more of them as top gear season 1 just finished ! yes that's right and Top Gear Lucky to have Chris Harris but please don't ruin him in the sometimes silly and cringe scripts and videos on Top Gear. More Vids like this please ! And didn't know that was actually Chris 1M ! Excellent Buy, they shall be going up more in value and its an amazing rare car !

The 1M is just an entirely different beast than the M2. Has that domesticated predator soul about it. Might look tame but it secretly wants to kill you every time

BMW understated the power figures for the 1M massively so it didn't steal any thunder from the M3. Our COMPLETELY STOCK 1M ran on a reliable dyno and achieved 340whp (about 400hp at the crank which is about 60hp more than its quoted power).

I wasn't too excited until I've seen the M2 in person. Looks really wide and angry. Also its sound is surprisingly good. Looking forward to 2018 facelift for a better interior.

"But I don't care. Golf R can't do that." So perfectly said. This is car-enthusiasm and driving-enthusiasm blended to perfection. And the description of the 1M. I love it! Instead of calling it nervous and criticize it for being snappy, make it a positive personality-thing, which needs attention and reaction to be appreciated. My first BMW was a E21 323i. Widely criticized for it's, hmmm, driving-personalities? But, oh boy, we had fun! And learned fast, that reaction is king, and for Gods sake, keep the right foot down... 😂 Back to the video: This is not the first time C. Harris has made my eyes water with his description of a car or how it drives, or the joy of driving. It is just sad that the way the Top Gear-exit happened with the original three, it makes it difficult for any man or woman to take over. Chris is the perfect man for that job, and I hope the "New Top Gear-haters" will give him the credit he deserves. I have a couple of suggestions what should be done with the consept, but not for the public. 🙂
