Back to back pics: 1M and M4

Advevo · 06-29-2014, 03:02 AM

I was at my BMW dealer to look at the new M4. I thought i might as well take some pictures to compare the car.

I still need to make a test drive and see if the size makes a big change in handling. The wheelbase of the 1M is 2660 and the new m3/m4 is 2810.

Are there any more here who have driven the new m3/m4 and also have a 1M?

Talk to nachob and UAE. They both have owned or still own 1M's.

I had a short drive in an M4 two weeks ago. The M4 was not broken in so I could not drive any hard. M4 feels quite BIG compared to the 1M, and the M4 engine is avesome, even when driving under brake in period.

Sold my 450hp 1M for a F80, orange to orange) can't wait to test it!

Jack have you already driven the f80.

What is youre opinion in handling compared to the 1M

I have just driven an M4 DCT.

The engine is fantastic really really awesome. But the first i noticed when driving away it has no nimbleness like the 1M Coupe. The M4 does not feel like it is 1500kg. It s in my eyes closer in feel to an M5/M6 then an 1M coupe.

When i first drove a 1M coupe i was convinced to buy one instantly. The M4 has not convinced me so fast. Is it worth to buy alone for the engine? For me no. I rather have an agile car. My quess is that the wheelbase of the M4 kills of all the fun which i am looking for in a car.

The perfect companion for an 1M coupe is an M3. I really see no point at all to use an M4 as a trackday car in my case. To use a 4 door M3 as a daily drive oh yess!!! It s much more fun then an M5 for sure.

I just have to wait for an M2 then. All i hope for is that bmw keeps the wheelbase as short as possible and make it lighter then the 1M coupe.

The long wait begins but after driving the M4 i know now you just don t get bored driving the 1M coupe. What a Car it is.
