  • To the M badge faithful, the BMW 1 Series M Coupe signals a return to form. But is it? Benchmarking the 1M against an M3 would seem the perfect way to find out.

    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.

      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

    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 That car is a little outdated, the M235i surprisingly is a better day to day car by far, and its just as fast.

    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

    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

    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)

    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 ;-)
