You keep saying the 1M Coupe is stripped out but it certainly isn't, it's fully laden with a full interior and little to no weight loss over a normal 135i coupe.
Before lockdown I had a merc c250d as a daily and a M240i as the weekend toy. As a pair they worked perfectly. Sold the merc as no longer commuting to work. Now fed up of the m240 as it’s lost its novelty. Definitely think 2 cheaper cars is better than 1 expensive one
1m has to be one of the best M cars out there, pretty sure they lied about the power when it came out as a friends made 366 wbhp. The origin story of the 1m is amazing. It would be part of any of my dream garages.
Chris Harris lowered his one and he said its one of the best cars he's owned. As above, lowering doesn't automatically mean you've ruined the ride. You can get softer springs.
The older BMW M cars are where its at cause NA and Manual. The Z4M is one of the best driving M cars out there along with the E46. The E39/49 M5 are on the rise and well looked after examples can be really rewarding. The pre 2000s M cars are quite good too.
Yup bmw used to be about driver handling the feel and the engine bows it about selling as many cars as possible. The new m cars are fast but don’t have the feel that the older cars do. Everything after the e92 m3 the 1m and even the og m2 with the n55 is pretty bad. The new m2 sounds like shit the m3/4 sounds like shit the M5/8 are just twin it to v8s that don’t sound any different or better than an Audi or Mercedes.
I love the 1M, really enjoyed the chat with Tony, bit echoey, but good that your are both the same volume, take note Archie! 1M + 330e idea 2 car garage.
@@nikolal.4502 Really? Yet I have a video on Petrolicious about my E30 M3 track car despite never having sat in an M car? I have an E46 M3 and had a 1M 7 years ago. Modern M cars are ridiculously priced and more about sales that motorsport heritige.
@@Retrobeemer Ok, you've clearly not sat in a new M then. Modern M cars perform much better than the older cars and are no less of an M car. Just because someone made pops and bangs map doesn't mean the car is made for that. What do you want, BMW to keep making exactly the same cars as they did 20 years ago ? Why ? They've already made enough, move on to something new.
@@nikolal.4502 Apart from the fact I’ve driven plenty of modern M cars, hence my opinion of them, there is more to what makes an M car than outright performance. Although I’ve kept many a modern behind my E30 on track because it’s not weighed down with hugely heavy electric heated seats or a stereo to pipe in engine sounds. There’s a reason why so many people don’t equate modern M cars with what M used to mean. Nowadays the engines aren’t as special and they’re full of gimmicks. The steering systems they use are also shit when compared to the likes of the E46 and they’re not even offering the new M3 as a manual! They’re catering for people that think pops and bangs are cool and don’t have the skill to heel & toe manual shifts. Basically dumbing down the M badge.
@@Retrobeemer The new M3 is offered in a manual. Again, they have never made pops and bangs. That is made by tunimg companies. The reason for adding these things that ypu described is that if they don't, the car will be essentially the same as the old ones with a nee design. No one will buy it, the company will go bankrupt and no more M. All of that just to please a handful of people who are not even buying the new cars anyway. Pretty stupid if you ask me. If you like the old one, just keep the old one. Why do you want them to keep making you the same car ?
Agree with two car strategy but M Coupe is the best driver car value. It is even more of a true sports car experience to feel special and fun. Then a practical car
In my opinion the best is either the - E92 M3 decatted and evolve tune (overall package especially sound and handling) or - N55 M2 with a stage 1 tune. Just driving perfection and a decent sound with the right exhaust.
Agree that most of these young guys have nice cars but no property. Could have had a M3 or C63 if I wanted to waste money, but instead got a mortgage and Octavia VRS!
Paul mate your videos literally have NO story line. You throw some clips together and call it a day. Get a bit of inspo of your fellow youtubers (Not Archie)
Yeah but you can buy a new M2 or 4 Comp brand new your spec for the same monthlies as a second hand one because BMW do 1.9 or 2.9% so the top line is more but your getting a virgin car for same monthly payments
Get a 1m and then have £400 extra a month for a daily...maybe a C63? On what planet is a C63 considered a 'daily'? Especially that price with 10% down for £400?
for me it has alway been a toss up. the m series, or just tossing my money directly in the toilet. Not sure what the point of marginally better guts of a car when u really can exploite it on streets or highway.
Best alrounder M-5.I would take an M any minute of the day over other cars.myself M-8.girlfriend M-1 my son M2-Comp.now waiting for the new M-4😂😂😂😂What you mean BMW FANBOY???😆😆😆
@@monst3rmoody and it sounds bad in all of those cars. The s55 sounds much worse than the n54/55 and b58. The og m2 with the n55 sounds way better than the current m2 comp with the s55.
Personally for me, Value for money doesn’t come much better than the m140 and m240
M140 is insane value for money. Where else can you get a rwd 6 cylinder hatchback I hope to own one one day
Or even the M135i
Agreed
@@jryalls m135 is the same as m140. M140 replaced 135, it's just a facelift of the same model.

They had to limit it so it wasn’t faster than a M3

Tony is the best value for money I have seen on your channel.
The worst thing you did was lower that m2 competition. Hence why it’s crashy etc.
Without lowering they are on stilts, the arch gap is crazy. Lowering doesn’t always have to compromise comfort.
Chris Harris lowered his one and he said its one of the best cars he's owned. As above, lowering doesn't automatically mean you've ruined the ride. You can get softer springs.
@@lukek9694 Chris Harris M2C is on Coilovers which is gonna give him better comfort while lowering it.
But if you can afford an M2, you must be able to afford a couple of classy Ohlin coil overs or whatnot..? 👍
@@tredfxman not really I’m in a M2 group and most people do really cheap mods... 😅
Tony is at 7:50mins
Liked for fresh 1M content. Tony has had it for ages though. Maybe it needs a price drop 😀
I think pauls idea was good, keeping the 1M just for the weekend will always make it feel more special

Modern M cars are all pops and bangs maps for knobbers driving in cities. 1M is the only one here worth having.
You can make 1m pop and bang as well, what's your point ?
You've clearly never sat in an M.

If you brought a 1m from factory you have absolutely won!👌🏽👍🏽
The 1M’s license plate even has your initials on it. It’s a sign from god that it’s time to buy it...
You need to reset camera or video processing settings to normal contrast as the footage you post have lighter blacks and it is a tad annoying.
Who has £1000 to spend on 2 cars a month? Get into the real world!!!
Insurance?
If the 1M is so great why has Tony had it up for sale for over two years?
You’ve got to love Tony
More bids of this kind would be the way to go mate keep up the good work. Very entertaining stuff👊👊
1M is amazing, but it isn't stripped out and track ready
Loving Tonys head gear at 8:12
There is only one M and it begins with 1.
In my opinion the best is either the
- E92 M3 decatted and evolve tune (overall package especially sound and handling)
or
- N55 M2 with a stage 1 tune. Just driving perfection and a decent sound with the right exhaust.
E92 has the same engine as the bmw m5/m6 v10 engines just minus two cyclinders......best era and best sounding cars
M3, I think it's a dream car
E60 M5 hands down!! When they work 🥴
Not very often then 🤣
I just came to say M3 or M5 F90 it's all I want 🙏🏽
1M and 335D touring would be my choice
Always Success, GBU
For value for money it has to be the m140i, but overall it’s between the m8 & m5 as current best
Can any one tell me what the tune is called at the start of the video please
I could watch this over and over again. 💙
Supercharged Manual E92 M3 ... Epic V8 !!
id love an M car, but i live in a dump and insurance is astronomical, il stick with my 530d for now
It’s videos like these that make me realise that TH-cam influencers know little to nothing about the history of performance cars...🤦♂️
For me it would be between z4m coupe and a e46 m3 csl with a manual conversion.
Tony needs his own TH-cam channel.
But If you get an older M5......
Which M car would make the best professional drift car?
Seeing this after Archie's video he made on the M140i... you were there the same time... but the quality difference of this 😵😎👌
Og M2 is my choise, better sound than s55, best value for money, more raw and riot then comp. Comp is better only if u want to go for a big power.
The best car. The one you can afford.
My monthly mortgage payment is still less than any of these cars and my house has appreciated by £25k in 5 years
What’s it like on a B road?
@@Rb25patrol not much good tbh it’s better just left in it’s parking space

@@faisalleeds octavia vrs is still very nice car you sir are winning
Finally posting all og those 1M Got a video 😂
M3 competition all day, it feels lighter, tight to drive and plenty of upgrades available if your so inclined
1M and M2 are probably the best M cars, in terms of drivability
E46 M3 CSL .... Halo car. 🤩
I’ve never driven a Beemer
@J B Not much, few Audis

Yeah but you can buy a new M2 or 4 Comp brand new your spec for the same monthlies as a second hand one because BMW do 1.9 or 2.9% so the top line is more but your getting a virgin car for same monthly payments

Tony is a cool guy
Up for 40k but it’s been for up for sale for 40k days 🤣
I’ve considered making an enquiry on this car and see if it’s really for sale
They are very hard to sell. Took 4 months to sell mine
i'd get an m140i
paul’s math is senseless
V10 M5 all day
Best value for money ? The 1M only goes up in price !!

1m and the e92 m3 are the best modern m cars. The original m2 isn’t bad except now they sound like garbage with the s55.
E92 m3 feels front heavy because of a V8 engine
@@karolmaciejewski340 the engine isn’t why it’s heavier. The s65 is actually lighter than the s54 inline 6 that came before it
