1M Coupe Vs M135i

And you all thought it was a TLGP.. :nonono: :sorry:.. lol..

They are actually very closely matched.

Yep, quite closely matched except for fuel consumption. 10 and 13.1 is quite a big difference. I'd still take the 1M though, not because of performance, but I think it is a bit more "special".

 

[Mr H]

The diff the diff the diff! THAT is what sets the 1M apart imo. Try and do a gymkhana with a normal diff at your peril.. I know! Not everyone do gymkhana's, but still.. :rollsmile:

 

[MikeR]

:fencelook: a little to close.

 

[msm]

Makes you wonder what the "new" 1M will be like, considering the 135i is already this good.

 

[CocoPops]

Well I think figures only tell one side of the story..

The drive, feel, composure (or lack of) etc cannot be expressed in a data sheet.

This is probably where the 1M is leagues ahead of the M135i.

 

[SP33DYV]

The biggest difference in my opinion is this:
1M has Michelin Pilot Sport tyres and
the M135i has Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres.

The fuel consumption is not a big issue to me.

And of course the lap times around the two tracks. It would be interesting to see what the 1M does with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres.:fencelook:

Its gonna be a very different game when an aftermarket Lsd is available for the m135.

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

Just put a JB4.0916592 in the M135i and it's over! 59 seconds I swear

 

[ASH]

I'm sorry, as much as the M135i is quick, it does not come any where near the 1M for looks.

I think those images of the front of both cars in the original post tell the story of the difference between the two..........

 

[greeson]

I'm with Ash on this one. 1M is by far and away the better looking car.

Close.... :thumbs:

You wont get a 1M for R445k and thats the major factor....
1M's are selling for 700K+- now.

Maybe, maybe not. Just keep in mind the M135i has the superior tyres from the factory. It would be interesting to see what happens if both cars are fitted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres. :thinking:

1m, tyres are KAK on the straight but great on the twisties, however IMO the M135i is just a 135i+PPK2.

There will not be another 1M. Tjis is the lasst of the last.

Next Gen will be M2

Awesome cars, but that 1M raise:

Just put a JB4.0916592 in the M135i and it's over! 59 seconds I swear

[St Lunatic]

Would be great to see them head to head over 1km
