The new BMW 1 M Coupe went for a short jaunt on the Nürburgring track, and the lap times released were 10 seconds faster than that of a BMW M3 E46 (from 2001 to 2006). Apparently all the attention lavished on this car was justified.
The 1 M clocked its fastest time at 8 minutes and 12 seconds, proving as quick as a Z4 M and quicker than a BMW M5 E60 (2004 to today), Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and Porsche Cayman S.
A lot of people are expecting great things from the 1 M considering its featherweight, its proportions and its 3,0-litre, twin-Turbo inline-6 capable of producing 335 hp and 369 ft-lb of torque, but these results are truly impressive.
