For those of you lot technical aficionados out there, here are the specifications for the new 1M. Information technology shares the track of the M3, front and rear to the millimeter according to M Brand Managing director NA, Matt Russell. Of annotation is the 4 inch shorter wheelbase than the 1M sports over the M3.

And for those of you lot that missed our comprehensive test drive of the 1M, here are some of our thoughts from the track:

"The 1M on the rail is addictive. It's a combination of bang-up sounds, great chassis, and a thoroughly well matched powerplant to the motorcar. Information technology's shorter wheelbase makes it just that much more than nimble than larger cars and all of that torque, bachelor most off idle this volition brand the 1M a killer on whatever track with a surfeit of slow speed corners. This thing is nasty quick, it just digs hard out of the corners. Go wide open throttle and yous'll become the boosted torque from the overboost function for about five seconds, enough to propel you lot headlong into the side by side corner.

bmw 1m specs1 655x308 But information technology all comes back to how easy this car is to drive. It's forgiving, sure footed, exceptionally quick, with a brilliant set of brakes and swell steering and steering feel. If y'all ever intend to practice track days (and specially if you're a track day junkie) this auto has to be at the top of the short list."

If yous're all the same not convinced this is a true One thousand car, have a await at the technical specs beneath.
