1 series m coupe vs m3 (poll)
- Thread starter nomercy
- Start date
Yes a 2009 m3 and the 1m coming next year!!
I love the n 54 for its tuning capabilities and straightline speed, the 1m will have the handeling aswell so its going to be a mean car!
The m3 is bigger and has got even beter handeling but lacks the power of a tuned n 54, but comes with way less problems like hpfp, wastegate rattles, plugs etc...
So really don't know...

The 1M sounds like a glorified 135i and can be a very interesting toy! As far as I can find it will only come in a manual g/box.. I think its personal choice but I'm more for the E90/92 M3. And with minor mods it can also be a demon up at altitude!
If I would consider something in that line ill take a std 135I and open taps and have a wilder car for half the price of the 1M.

the 1m has the m3 gearbox , m3 suspenison , m3 diff .
besides the v8 engine there is not much "better in the m3"
i dislike the 135i because it lacks the m appeal , i think the 1m has fixed that .
its gonna be a killer , perhaps no faster in a straigline than a 135i but with the m3 goodies its gonna handle much better .

Owning the current M5 I would not recommend it.
In the aspect of the 1M or M3 I would go with the 1M due to the obvious power to rand spent advantage. As for the niggles of the motor you got a full five years of motorplan so would not worry about it.
If you planning to circuit race the car I would go for the M3. Corners do not like torque and the car becomes impossible if you going to run higher than 1bar of boost.
Its a very difficult choice and with the cars having a six year life these days its difficult to choose something when they are close to the end of the life span. If your current car is salvagable I would just stick with that and wait it out until the new models are on the horizon.

I would not buy a 1M at launch. Yes, it's an awesum car, but I would wait until all the bugs are sorted ...
Hence, I would buy the M3 for now and decide again in 2 years AFTER the 1M has proven itself locally. Also, M3's tend to hold value quite well, so if you buy one now, you should still be able to trade it in for a decent price if you want the 1M later.
