Yes, it is the best M car ever made and one of my favorite cars period. I’ve had mine for 5 years. I’ve had 100 cars and this is in my top 3 and I have owned many M cars, several E46 M3’s, E90 M3, M2, Z3 M coupe, etc.
Check craiglist Vancouver BC There are two for sale right now. A black one was at Corcars dealership in Vancouver BC and sold on bringatrailer recently for another price point. This one is $58k CAD ($44k USD): vancouver.craigslist.org/van/cto/d/vancouver-2011-bmw-1m-1-series-coupe/6940859326.html
I have a 9 week old golden retriever puppy at the moment... the comment about a puppy knocking the tea out of my hand made my morning coffee come out of my nose :)
You guys hit the nail on the head with this car. Currently been driving my 1m as a daily driver for over 2 years and it never fails to put a smile on my face. Only thing I disagree on is your choice in colour. Black is definitely the best colour optuon
I loved the first 30mins of my test drive on a frosty November day when this was new. The Main dealer salesman suggested I drive down an untreated lane to a garden-centre to turn round. He required that I drive at no more than 7mph to do this & was clearly very concerned that I might exceed this low speed!! After I left the dealership I returned home & took a 1983 two-door Saab 99 GL 2-litre coupe back down the same frosty lane at 60mph with no trouble. So I saved myself the £40k and still have the Saab which in winter out performed the 2-door BMW 1M coupe! On a dry summer’s day the BMW 1M might be great. But you do need an old Saab for wet or frosty days! I love your videos!
Glad you both liked it, you can buy an alcantara steering wheel for them from the BMW performance catalogue along with a host of carbon fibre bolt ons . You should compare it to my E92 M3 interlagos blue " Only 313 RHD cars built in this colour " and a fraction of those with the competition pack option. 4 litre , V8 , 414hp and revs to 8300rpm ," international engine of the year " 2008, 09, 10, 11 and 2012 ! . Mine is the preferred DCT gearbox .. ( not the clunky SMG of old that ruins the CSL ) . Mine also has the identical M359 wheels and tyres . These really are the last of the analogues. 👍👍
This will be a future collectible,right size,right engine,short production numbers,manual gearbox(which means no lagged pad shifting auto trans),no highly complicated engine that burns oil. Buy a manual one and keep it clean.
@@touringteg Its a good catch! now avoid showing off,stay away from light poles,guardrails and walls. M Bmers have the habit to wake up the Douche inside us.
I like to think my 130i is a baby M car , with an after market LSD it still costs A tenth of the 1m has better brakes ( off the 135i which had 6! Pots yet the 1m got awful brakes ) a little bit less power but a much sweeter 6 cylinder . I’m not ever getting rid of it
I have always lusted over the 1M. It’s probably along the E46 M3 and the Z3M coupe the only M car I would own. It just feels right. Your video has confirmed what I though of this car. Thanks for a great vid! It is a shame that BMW was not able to continue the good trend that started with this car on the M2. The only downside of the 1M is that I could not afford one when new, and will never be at this rate.
Schwarzenegger’s speedos, horse feeding, stabbed rats and Dr Who. Then you chuck in a Benny Hill ‘so shocked I had to stop the Car’ moment. We’re at Carry On Driving levels of hilarity. Thanks for brightening another Saturday morning. Informative and entertaining. Great car. Reminds me of my Dad’s M3 Evo, the first ‘fast’ car I ever got to drive.
E92 M3 is the best M car ever made, period. Test pipes and tune unleashes the beast. Driving with DCS off is really the first “mod” and the one that lets the driver and the car meet and open the door for the two to grow together. The S65 is the emerald heart and what the 1M will always come up short on. Driving with DSC on cuts throttle and give the underpowered feeling just to mask the drivers limit. This passing of the buck to the car is a crime and needs to be brought to light so that the weak link driver can humble himself and improve his skill set. The 1M is not light weight even though it’s small and another reason the e92 M when lightly spec’d is a better car. Everything else on the 1M is fantastic I have to say. All owners are fortunate to have such a great car. Time will be the truth teller as far as the greatest Mcars, I just give my personal opinion.
Ian that shorter wheel base I can bet is an awesome treat. Swap an S65 and ride into the sunset when you feel it’s time. We are sonic beings so sound is everything. Enjoy your awesome car my friend!
@@alexmartinez280 So true. The sound is something electric cars lack and why a Model 3 does not excite most enthusiasts. I would certainly do S65 should the N54 give up. Cheers!
Great vid guys. I’ve got an e46 M car, but, driven the 1M and I agree with nearly all your comments. Yes, the 1M is very excitable and especially so on wet B roads. It’s more chuckable than the e46. In fact, it would be a great drift car if it wasn’t so valuable. It’s quicker than the e46 but the 4.0 e92 M3 is quicker still and equally great to drive. I would love to see and hear your thoughts on the new M2 Competition, as it’s supposed to be the real successor to the 1M and the e46 M3. Cheers...
What an underated car- I have always been blinkered towards the M3 & M5. Nice stop Jason when Damian said he has never owned an M car, it made me chuckle. Is there a space in the car guys garage for an M car... Great video as always guys, you work really well together to share your opinions & experience with the viewer. I am happily subscribed 👍
As ever, fantastic video, gents. And what a car. That N54 engine is so tuneable as well - you can easily, safely and cheaply get another 100 hp and 100 lb/ft out of it with an ECU flash, less restrictive downpipes, bigger intercooler, etc. But save up for a bigger tyre budget as lack of traction becomes even more of an issue. Jason, I’m loving the Sea-Dweller 43mm at 5:05.
This is a proper car channel for proper car fanatics, I love it gents!!! You two were on form, some fantastic banter flying about. I also now desperately want a BMW 1M!!! I hate to admit that I didnt even know about this car, I thought that BMW had never done a M in the 1 series. Now I know, i HAVE to get one!!!
@@touringteg I would love one, but I thought I'd misheard the £40,000 price tag but no. I checked online and was astonished to see them going for that kind of money. No doubt that value will only rise, so it'll no doubt have to remain a dream.

As a former E46 M3 owner, got to say this looks a lot of fun and you can see why prices are so good. Only thing that bugs me about BMW these days, is that they stick M badges on anything as a trim level these days. Good review guys 👍
A good review, did I miss the conclusion as to whether it will actually take a place in your garage now or in the future? I don't see these shooting up in price, but it's still a safe place to spend your money and have some fun.
Great review guys. Not sure why your traction control is coming on quite so often? I've had a 1M since new (2011) and while traction control comes on regularly, your car seems excessive. I'm suspecting that the tyres may be an issue? Try a new set of Pilot Sport 4S. (And by the way, the series 1 SMG in the CSL is absolutely awful . . . don't do it)
Fresh set of modern Michelins (PS4s) if you intend normal road use and easy swap of the suspension out for a nice set of Ohlins adjustables and it'll both smooth the ride a little and give a bit more composure whilst seriously improving the traction. All round about the best, most cost-effective mods you can make and all of about 3-4hrs work.
Why can't Jeremy Clarkson James May and the Midget make nice videos like this where they test drive and talk about the car car and not smashing up cars blowing up engines and burning out tyres good job we got Joey from Friends love top gear now ps Jeremy was really good years ago I don't know what happened in the last 10 years he just fell to a bits, like a rag doll being slowly pulled to pieces buy a 17 year old dog with no teeth
It’s normally Damian wincing in the passenger seat as Jason gives it the beans, today with DSC off Jason was the man doing the wincing. Spinning into 3rd gear what a hoot. Did you buy it chaps?
I read a story about m1 guys buys worst nightmare of his life cost him a fortune and used to eat the TYERS all round i think is WAS smashed and repaired badly cool vid boys
Hi Guys, please tell me you bought it. I tried to convince my dad that an E46 M3 CSL (18000 miles, never been tracked, £29500) would be a good investment, but he wouldn't listen. I was just blagging it and didn't even realize what an investment it would turn out to be, Doh. (Probably would've put in hedge backwards anyway).
Hey guys I’m new to your videos I must say I enjoyed watching them this morning. I am an M240i owner so I particularly enjoyed this video. I don’t really have the money for a full on M car as I need my car to also be my daily I wonder what you think the main differences are between this and my car?
Great car not sure about the colour tho......started the modern classic movement........worth up the list after 12 months nuf said....nice choice for a review car guys !
1.E46 M3 + CS + CSL 2. E92 M3 Gts 3. E30 M3 4. 1M 5. Z4 M coupe 6. E60 M5 Does the chap with the goatee have a car collection of his own or is most of the content off the back of the chubby guys collection ?
1M? (turbo engine😢) M3 E30 too slow, E36 M3 not the best design, E46 M3 (second place), Try the Z4M coupe🙏 The Best M ever💪 with the Mmm.... Metal sound!
Nah, the point of BMW is to have a somewhat practical car that competes with sports cars. The Z cars are cool (Z3M was the first BMW I ever drove,) but if I'm giving up a backseat, I want the engine behind me, and I'd pick a Porsche all day.
Great car. Was the blueprint for the M2 which I would take over it IMHO. I think the e46 and e39 are the two best. E92 was too bloated, but hell of an engine. 1M is still a great car though.
You guys are the best. Love the vid. Like the colour of the BMW. I nearly bought a M5 years ago. Preferred the XJR instead. I don't really get the M cars.

Hi Guys, please tell me you bought it. I tried to convince my dad that an E46 M3 CSL (18000 miles, never been tracked, £29500) would be a good investment, but he wouldn't listen. I was just blagging it and didn't even realize what an investment it would turn out to be, Doh. (Probably would've put in hedge backwards anyway).

@@TheCarGuysTV lol from now on when i see jason im going to think goatee chap
Nice video but for me the highlight of this video was the sea dweller 👌
You’re not alone
Buy it!Buy it! No really buy it, maybe replace Honda?😁
I believe the e46 m3 was the best M car ever made
E39 M5 is the best ...E46 lacks a bit of torque for me
@@revit4298 I think the high revving nature of that engine was one of its best points. Same with e60 m5. Both weren't particularly torquey.
Is there a 4 door version?
1M? (turbo engine😢) M3 E30 too slow, E36 M3 not the best design, E46 M3 (second place), Try the Z4M coupe🙏 The Best M ever💪 with the Mmm.... Metal sound!
Totally agree with you!
Nah, the point of BMW is to have a somewhat practical car that competes with sports cars. The Z cars are cool (Z3M was the first BMW I ever drove,) but if I'm giving up a backseat, I want the engine behind me, and I'd pick a Porsche all day.
Great car. Was the blueprint for the M2 which I would take over it IMHO. I think the e46 and e39 are the two best. E92 was too bloated, but hell of an engine. 1M is still a great car though.
You guys are the best. Love the vid. Like the colour of the BMW. I nearly bought a M5 years ago. Preferred the XJR instead. I don't really get the M cars.
I think there all about balance.when your on the edge.
M1 maybe 1M mmmmmm
Love to drive one of these. I have an m240 so be great to see if its at all similar
