simonlpearce Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Unfortunately, some people here and elsewhere seem far too hung up on the headline figures of a diesel car. Sure, they make bags of torque, which in some instances is nice to have for sure. But the reality is, the power delivery in a diesel is just never going to be comparible to a petrol car like an M3. Even if the M department got their hands on the diesel engine, it would still be delivered in a short sudden burst over a low RPM range. For real sports car driving that's not a lot of good. If all people care about is outside lane of motorways over taking it's fantastic. Im tempted to make that into my signature Get that man a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich330ci Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 saw a white 1M today, the bumpers look really wide/aggressive! oh the reg was ACE 578T iirc, numbers may be slightly out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_S Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Steve Sutcliffe from Autocar ran one for 6 months or so and he lives in Brighton IIRC, so it was probably him you saw batting it down the A27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

318max Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 saw a white 1M today, the bumpers look really wide/aggressive! oh the reg was ACE 578T iirc, numbers may be slightly out! There is one that works just next door to me, i should really take a photo of it although i wont be seeing it for a while, It's insane how wide/agressive styling the body has, it needs to be seen in real life to apprectiate it imo, AMAZING!
