"...a twin clutch dct transmission..."
So you mean "a twin clutch dual clutch transmission transmission.."
Cool.
This isn't a head 2 head.
watching todays motortrend videos....you guys have come a very long way from your older vidoes
“ The 1M does not feel special” Lol this did not age well
it's like I'm watching the sesame street version of Top Gear. don't ever watch motor trend before 2014...
Everyone rips on the 1M for somehow looking ugly........but really? Ugly? Everything seems handsome about that car.
Looks like BMW crashed into a Chrysler and the BM only won by 20%...UGLY for a German car and terrible compared to that M3.
@@Mrbfgray ur crazy
@@user-ex4nh7qi8u Aesthetics must be kept in perspective, form follows function, performance is 'everything', but I'll take my E92 M3 any day as a driveway ornament.
@@Mrbfgray it’s a beautiful car, looks better than the m3
@@Mrbfgray lmao u explained it so good
Wow.. MotorTrend has come such a long way since 2011... LUL
CUTE! The 1 series M coupe is the most muscular beefy looking M car ever. It's like a true modern day equivalent to the E30 M3. It has the same kind of look and proportions and they're so rare. The 1 series M coupe is my choice hands down.
meh! it does look weird not so M"ish" especially from the front. M3 looks sexy and ferocious 1m looks cute from the back and ugly from the front.they are right!
The curved lines under the door and the roof-line don't do it for me.
a car should not look cute
proportion or whatever it basically have hop up 3 series engine n54 which make power around 1500-5000 and loses power from there so reving to redline is pointless isnt that what the e30 about lenient power delevery and if torque is what you want why dont go buy a 135i and tuned it or amg merc and the sound is crap compare to all the m3s but im sorry the m3 is more of an m car even thou its biger unique engine high reeving lenient power delivery balance

The 1m must have aged like fine wine because I think it looks great
Oh thank god MT has gotten much better these days. This video feels so cheesy.
Terrible acting, and who wrote the script? A high school drama kid?
Andrew C
amen..this sukd
Andrew C I don't think you're allowed to bully high school kids, not even the drama kids.
***** my bad.
Sorry high school drama kids.
Ameen
+Andrew C Check out David Mamet over here.
God ... soo much difference between Nowadays motor trend and back then .
yeah this seems kind of cheesey. the new videos are a lot more professional.
CJSchecter96 once Jonny is in it..it's going to be cheezy
Much rather drive a fully loaded M1 over the M3 just to stand out be different. Plus the car is just Badass
wtf did i watch
that‘s exactly what i am thinking
cmon u cant start with a god mode cheats on you..u always start off babystep
this thing is astonishingly painful to watch compared to EVO, Car Magazine, or Autocar.
Motor Trend: The Jonah Hill edition.
you forgot to mention Ryan Reynolds as well :D
OMG, eight years since I watched this vídeo for the first time. Time is just flying. I'm amazed how good were those times, but I realize that NOW is the time of our lives. Chears!
i love my 1M way more than my previous M3 E46
same.
A little weird episode lol but still good and informative . Both are good cars!
What a great episode!! Its awesome seeing Johnny and Carlos together. Motor Trend please make another episode like this! I'd love to see these two do another comparison. As always thank you for the great content.
Wow I'm coming from future and next to the new bmws, these two vehicles are real two legends...
I made my choice with the M3. The 1M just didn't do it for me. Too ugly, but a hell of a drive.
tricker3938 good thing I can afford the depreciation LOL
these cars aren't even comparable...no man with self-respect should be buying a 1 series
kuruptzZz No man with self-respect should be buying a modern BMW anyway.
No rest for the wicked uhh...care to explain why? even though they are softer and I guess a bit less fun to drive than in the past, they are better in all other ways than older BMW's...best transmission in the world, more power, better MPG, nicer interiors with more space, better tech, much improved idrive...and you get 4 years of free servicing
kuruptzZz Best transmission in the world? BMW acquired Porsche PDK?
May be the 1M is not so special, but I bet it is a future classic with this massive rear fenders, limited production numbers and also its pureness... the M3 (E92) is a bit more on a posh side...
Benzinio you nailed it buddy
It is easy to find 1/4 mile and 0-60 videos, but that was fun to watch and made the cars/drivers more real.
this is the most interesting style review I've ever seen before it was very entertaining xD
1M any day, in fact I've just bought one in Valencia Orange, & would not swap for that M3.
"37 lb ft more torque than you"...then "370 lb ft of torque, thats almost 100 more than you"....wut?
THe 1M coupe has 332 Ib ft of torque. When you hit overboost, it adds another 35ish. So it's near 370.
He explained the overboost feature earlier. Sheesh
this channel soo much changed in 3 years
Motor Trend has come a long way in 4 years!
I've owned a M3, and my household has a 1M. You know what they're both great cars. Loved the V8 on the M3, but you know what I don't love? Its the DCT gearbox, its not that great for day to day driving. The 1M is a great car, it handles great, and its alot of fun. But in 2015? That car is a little outdated, the M235i surprisingly is a better day to day car by far, and its just as fast.
lrgonly I drive the M135i everyday, lovely car ;D
lrgonly Except his dads old mustang cost pretty much fuck all when it was new even, a m135 new was expensive as hell
+den525 thats because the 235 is meant to be a day-to-day car, & the 1M a high-performance M car. they're only similar on paper- drive them back to back & you'll never want to drive a 235 again, i promise!
+lrgonly It was expensive at the time, totally agreed there, but comparing it to other cars at the time, it really wasn't
***** I have both. And I use the M235i as the daily. 1M is great fun but not a good daily.
The E92 ///M3 is for me the best those two cars. It looks fantastic, it sounds and revs like a beast... The 1 ///M is pretty awesome too, with that TwinTurbo inline six and this manual gearbox, but the ///M3 is just better ;)
Why do you have to put the "///" every time you say M wat like it's called the "M3"
Cause i find those 3 colors awesome.
When i put the slashes i just see the logo in my mind. This logo is just incredibly gorgeous.
(I know i already have it as my profile pic but i have to put the slashes )
well, here we meet again...
J0lker Which one do you prefer ?
Kaisuke971 Well i'm really confused. I think in the end I'd go with the e92 ///M3 ("///" specially for you :D) because of the looks. I hate BMW interior tho. the 1M seems to be pretty fun little car but that sedan-like shape is not for me.
I'd go for C63 coupe fitted with iPE exhaust ; )
3M's are everywhere. 1M is special, a classic to be for sure. The low production numbers make it worth keeping.
which one handles better? and is more agile?
1m is better
100% is better! he said it doesnt feel special??? wow these clowns dont know nothing about cars , they should stick to shitty acting...
noa! M3 bruh
you obviously haven't drove a 1m, no offence but once you drive both, than answer
M3 is a spin off 1M. 1M is special. Learn some history before you quack.
They decided to move this competition to the even numbers level.M2 vs M4 :p
i thought it was a great review keep up the good work
yes! im still in love with that look
The m3 is so goddamn beautifull!!
as an enthusiast, 3 minutes of this made my ears bleed
having said that though...did the E46 M3 CSL actually ever arrive and go on sale in the usa? ;-)
They've come such a long way since then.....
All I have to say is that Motor Trends production quality has gone way up since this scripted crap was made.
I think the m1 looks better
+1. It looks amazing.
for sure it does, those that do not agree haven't seen it up close, looks much much better in person. almost like a toy car
im actually trying to decide what to get a 06 z06, 04 svt cobra, 03-12m3, 12 1m, 10-12 shelby
was that Salmon Falls north of Folsom lake Northern California?
None of these compares to the E30 or the E46
God they try WAY TO HARD!!!
TheBlazefrost too*
Love Motor Trend, Love the choice of cars, just a shame you didn't drag race/track race them...
Is this that famous MotorTrend with all those bells and whistles?
It is like watching a movie that a couple of high school students made or maybe an 80's adult movie with storyline : )
There are 2 things why I would want to buy the e92 M3 over the 1M.......The looks are much better & the engine is a lot better 4.0 na V8...M3 for me :)
i agree with you 100% however the 1M has more potential for power then the M3
I still prefer the M3 bc I'm a big dude and the 1M is super small that and 4.0 V8 is bae
an automatic m3..what a waste of car
it's automatic? I know it has paddle shifters but that doesn't always mean it's tiptronic, if it is that would be a shame.
lol
makaveli2193 I just watched the video a little more and he mentioned that he has two clutches. This means he has the DCT, which is worlds faster than any manual (but is admittedly not as fun to drive.)
Ali Kayani Man what a shame. :( Its like an automatic 997.
***** Agreed. I actually bought a DCT M3 about two weeks after commenting here.
2 OF MY FAVORITES
this was a fun video. two cool people discussing bmw's, kinda awesome video
The m3 is so beautifull
m3 any day
Great video
gotta love the extensive brochure reading session from 2:15.
I take the m3 over 1 series crap
1m is hideous. M3 is classic.
@nvarun300 have u ever been in a m1 with twin turbo, huh?
This was FUN! been waiting for a I series M(or 1M) vs. M3 comparison, and yes, i was secretly wishing the M3 would win?.I can watch this over and over!
1 series looks like shit. Like a kids size 6 shoe with wheels.
Dude cant grow facial hair so he picks on the fat guy. I guess I would have some issues too if I looked like a ten year old in my late 40's.
THE sound of the Natrually Aspirated Legends
Why does Motor Trend say the curb weight of the BMW M3 coupe is 3500lbs, when EVERYBODY else (including BMW), says it's 3700lbs?
Onto my second e92 m3 now. First one being a manual and this one being a DCT, it's a truly brilliant car. Completely faultless (assuming you can afford to run it) :)
great video
i'm not talking about abs and tc, those are obviously needet. I'm talking about things like the big bord computer with idrive, satellite navigation, cruise control, heated seats and all this stuff that adds weight which you don't want in a sports car.
@hacklebarry yeah I'm wrong, i wasn't thinking of the newer models
1 series M coupe it's the same that 135i series M ?
Great comparison. I'd definitely lean towards the m3 first just because I'm a bit biased but they are both great cars. Maybe one day I can do a review of my own.
Shit I love my e92 M but I'm sure that turbocharged power plant can be hella fun too. They were lightweight corny with the dialogue lol
1:01 This isn't the most powerful straight six M-car.
Have you forgotten the E46 M3 CSL?
That has 360hp without turbos and is THE best M-car ever made according to many people.
offered in the states?
Nice, I did'nt know that CSLs where sold in the americam market. I know, it's like I said each one prefer the car that fill the personality. Good luck on this nice search.
Wow...the yr my beloved M3 was born 10 yrs later.
I'm from Denmark, so chances are slim, but i would love to, if i ever get the chance. Heard good things about that road.
What year is that m coupe?
I love both these cars. Great job on these M cars BMW!
The CSL was 360?? You're sure about that? I have an e46 and its 333hp. (Or is that at the wheels and not bhp...)
omg I can't believe motor trend used to be like this 😂
yea i know, my mom has a e46 3series and i love that thing to death, especially when im on the backroads, but i love powerful cars theyre just so much fun and pullin up to a light and knowing you have 400+ under the hood, just makes you feel like a total badass. The ultimate for me would be an e46 csl, i wish i could find one of those in my area.
Holly crap MT video production quality has a come a long way. Johnny and Carlos are light years more entertaining and presentable today to say the very least
320D vs 123D ?! Full compare pls 🥺
@MartBro93 Have we just watched the same video..?
the line delivery of "high johnny, nice m3" and "thats it, its on"
These two cars are godly!
The camera in Jonny's car made it look like he was driving an suv lol
the trick with the phone ringing was good though :)
What song at 0:34??!?!?!?!
I haven't driven either however, from what you guys say In this review - the 1M could be used as a daily in a city with tight roads low down torgue , where as the E92 M3 is more your suburbia/ country daily or weekend driver . For me it's the M3 all day every day
yea i agree just realized that
The only thing I don't like about the newer bmw's is the lights, practically no "evil eye"(look at the e30/e34 headlights)
I love this! xD it made me laugh a lot...
Always thought the 1 series light look like e90 lights upside down
why didnt they compare the 1m to the E46 m3??
I miss this old motor trend stuff now it's all reviews where is the old school fun
as i understand the power button in the m3 sharpens the throttle response and accelerator sensitivity, the M button basically does all the other things you have said well thats what ive read and seen on the reviews i.e fith gear with ex racing driver tiff needel ;-)
wait they aint making no more m3? please answer me back
the first 5 minutes and 30 seconds is the ultimate form of bench racing i've ever seen.
no theyre not im sayin i wish they were in the us market main reasons because it has the carbon fiber roof and led tails from the e92 on the e46 my favorite style
