We take the BMW 1M to California's finest empty roads to see what the hype is about. Check out Matt's cover story on Road Lanes Magazine here. www.RoadLanes.com/MattFarah

Audi RS3 Sportback v BMW 1 Series M Coupe Drag Race - Auto Express
Full review: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/carreviews/grouptests/269563/bmw_1m_coupe_vs_rivals.html
Pocket rockets from BMW and Audi go head-to-head in a drag race shoot out over the quarter mile. But which is fastest?
The BMW 1M Coupe and Audi RS3 have two things in common... Power. Each offers an identical 335bhp and 450Nm of torque.
However, they are two very different beasts. The Audi's 2.5-litre five cylinder turbo drives all four wheels via a seven speed dual clutch automatic gearbox. The BMW on the other hand has a 3.0-litre straight six twin-turbo. And it sends all its power to the rear wheels via a good ol' fashioned six-speed manual.

Nurburgring Lap 1M Coupe vs CSL
A lap with a Bmw 1M Coupe on the Nurburgring. The car was awesome and no problems whatsoever. BTG lap time was 8.15 with traffic and i also needed to back off throttle for an accident in the last part. Without traffic and the accident under 8 min BTG is possible. I am following a CSL. Which is a nurburgring track day car. CSL has a cage, big brakes, lightweight Exhaust and race seats en runs on pilotsport cup tires. The 1M coupe was completely off factory. I was amazed how well this 1M coupe runs on the Nurburgring.
Driver: Andre de Vries.
Will it drift? BMW M5
Of course a 552bhp, rear-wheel drive bi-turbo V8 BMW M5 will drift. The question here, is how far? Read the review at http://www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/RoadTestsHistory/BMW-M5-4.4/260568/
