    2:38 - Nope.The N54 engine does not have sequential turbochargers, it has twin parallel turbochargers; both turbochargers are of equal size and there's no little turbo feeding bigger turbo. Both turbochargers work in unison and are fed by three cylinders each through their own dedicated exhaust manifold, cylinders 1-3 for TC1 and 4-6 for TC2; see parts 11657649290 and 11657649289. A little homework on the car that you are reviewing goes a long way, and a guy who loves to driver but has no idea about mechanics can be dangerous :-D.
    You may also be interested to know that the 1M was made ///M majorly by using E9x M3 parts based on a 135i. Shock absorbers, bushes, diff, control arms, tie rods; it mostly all bolts right up. It was a cheap parts bin experiment which turned out great, a SWB M3 with a turbocharged engine, essentially. For those interested, you can make a car that drives just like a 1M quite easily out of a 135i, the hardest part is the body, really.

      @freemaysin5088 3 года назад +1

      I did everything aside from the body work & engine. I only have a 128i so i have a different subframe but I put every single M component i could on it. Also went M factory 3.73 LSD along with Bilstein B14 kit, but used Eibach springs.
      530i 3 stage intake manifold, MILVS (Modified Intake Lift Valvetronic Supports) along with some supersprint headers & Apex Arc-8 Forged Magnesium wheels and 335i stock Brembo's.
      Awesome little car, got 120k miles going strong! No n54 issues haha

    @theo_angelos 8 лет назад +39

    both are great cars, i have driven them. The 1M is more old school and it gives you that raw feeling like the legendary E46 M3, but the M2 is faster and more elegant. I would choose the 1M tho..

    • @RobManser77
      @RobManser77 2 года назад

      E46 M3 “raw feeling”?! Are you sure? I always thought it was far too smooth and 330ci like, other than the engine note and the diff if you caned it. I wouldn’t call it raw though.

    Love this vid, very easy to watch, nicely presented.
    I'd like to throw another into the mix, that being an E92 M3, because for me it would come under consideration at the price point. The iconic M3, the limited edition 1M, or the extremely capable newer M2.

    Powerslides, skids and drifts. Lovely stuff. Seeing a nicely executed drift in slow motion even better. More time to enjoy it visually. Sadly, the presenter is not good at it. Slow motion combined with bad driving IMHO is not a good combination. Its just more time to notice the lack of skills. This looked a bit like a bad parody of a Chris Harris review. Sorry about the harsh comment, but people should not try and show off skills they don`t have. Keep practicing though.. Cheers

      @philipparana9225 8 лет назад

      Ive driven them both, almost bought a 1m, went with the 2. Reason, I track a lot, and felt I would end up modding the 1M to much, destroying a future classic. 2r is a much easier car to live with day to day, but I would take the 1m any day on track, slower however your working it, and you feel like your going twice as fast. In the 2r I look down and I am carrying amazing speed,but you feel numb to it. TSracer1, where are your videos on track driving?

  • @JoshTaylor

    Exclusivity has much to do with the 1M's value. There were only 680 in the United States. There are already over 700 M2's in the US as of today and is expected to reach close to 4k US units when the run ends in 2020.

      I bought one (an OG M2), last year, wow, they are great cars.
      It's much nicer than the ugly 1M, faster, better handling, better interior, more modern, and I can drive it and enjoy it without worrying about depreciating it's value.

    Ok, so I've been looking at buying a 1M as I just love the looks & the rarity factor. Now I realise that I can get a 2016 M2 for less than a 1M and it sought of seems hard to justify spending more on the older car.

    • @stevesas632

  • @OfficialMINIm
    @OfficialMINIm 8 лет назад +4

    The M1 is the more special one of the bunch. But I've got to say, the M2 is more modernized and refined version of the M1. Not exactly a bad thing. Both awesome cars

    • @marvelvsdc13
      @marvelvsdc13 8 лет назад

      just as a reminder it's the 1M in this video, not the M1. That's a different car just in case some doesn't know

    • @TudorLica
      @TudorLica 8 лет назад +2

      You are probably referring to the 1M because the M1 is the predecessor of the i8. I have to agree though that it is the more special one of the bunch.

    • @OfficialMINIm
      @OfficialMINIm 8 лет назад

      Yah the 1M lol

    • @DjNikGnashers
      @DjNikGnashers 9 месяцев назад

      The M2 is a much better looking car, faster, handles better, has a better interior, and is more modern and more reliable.
      The ONLY thing better about the 1M is it's value. And that's if you don't drive it.
      I like driving my cars, not sat in a garage too afraid of ruining their value.

  • @SloanZurnToto

    • @Namenloser1895
      @Namenloser1895 8 лет назад +2

      You basically have the choice between performance and fun. Personally I don't really care about 0.2 seconds more to 100kph but I do care about the driving experience, manual it is.

    • @FAT8893
      @FAT8893 8 лет назад

      +Walther White Agree with that. (Y)

    • @JoJoJoker
      @JoJoJoker 8 лет назад +1

      +Walther White DCT is fun and offers better performance. It's not about the 0.2 seconds on paper. In real world scenarios those times are multiplied greatly. From red lights to windy country roads to interstate passing to show off BS like launch control. Total dual-clutch convert. Hate normal autos. I prefer a Jeep with a manual (have a 1991 Sahara) or older car but for modern stuff it's so hard to beat.

  • @Lex_Investing

    I've got a Valencia Orange 1M. It is definitely not an easy car to drive hard. It bites if you are not careful.
    M2 is great, but I like the quirkiness of the 1M. It's a bit off and that's what makes it special.

In the same show room was a 2015 M3 or was it an M4 cant recall actually less miles and cheaper... But i was drawn to that little iM,, Just stood out in that room surrounded by many more expensive exotica... it held its own and shouted out to me "Come and get me" .... was Irresistable.. That look is something unique.. Later cars dont have it.... I am pleased with it and having had an E46 M3 E36 M3 Z3 M coupe I am qualified to have a valid opinion here... I must say Looks wise I think BMWs have lost the plot slightly Not are they alone in this.. And as for that dreadful electric thing Do me a favour Please Yukkk

    When will you review the alfa giulia quadrifoglio?

      Hey, that at least means they haven't started filming it yet.

    The fact that it's a 1m makes it better. It's just a rare car

      It makes it more valuable that is all.
      The OG M2 is a much better car in every other way.

    1m is truly the better drive. I have drove both and this is coming from a M235i owner.

    I see this is the same 1M used in the review by Pistonheads.

    The 1 series coupe body is sleek compared to the 2 series.

    Would rather the M2 over the M3 as well!

    If it were my money, I'd definitely get the M2.
