Right now, all BMW news surrounds the newly released XM. The BMW XM<\/a> is a three-ton hybrid SUV that looks like a video game knockoff of a BMW SUV. Judging by the enthusiast reactions across the sighted world, I think we could all use a reminder of what BMW M is actually capable of when it decides to make cars for its fans and not its shareholders. In this new video from Misha Charoudin, we get to see the BMW 1 Series M<\/a> take to the N\u00fcrburgring to remind us of better days.<\/p>\n

The BMW 1 Series M came out in 2011, and was only sold in that year, and is still one of the most beloved modern Bimmers. It\u2019s essentially the perfect recipe for a sporty BMW. It\u2019s small, it\u2019s based off of an affordable coupe, it\u2019s rear-wheel drive only, it only has a manual transmission, it looks great, and it\u2019s light. It\u2019s the embodiment of what BMWs are supposed to be. What\u2019s interesting, though, is that you rarely see it pushed to the limit.<\/p>\n

As incredible as the 1 Series M is, it\u2019s a small, short-wheelbase car that is more known for being a canyon carver, rather than a track weapon. So how does it handle Germany\u2019s largest and most difficult track?<\/p>\n

Admittedly, the 1M in this video isn\u2019t stock. It\u2019s running a tune, an exhaust, and \u00d6hlins\u00a0coilovers. It makes over 400 horsepower and it\u2019s a bit lighter, thanks to its Recaro racing buckets. So it\u2019s not a great example of how a stock 1M will handle the \u2018Ring. That doesn\u2019t make it less fun to watch, though. It makes it more fun.<\/p>\n

Even with its turbocharged engine and aftermarket exhaust, it sounds so much more like a proper M engine than anything the M Division currently sells. It\u2019s raspy and metallic and the little bark it makes at 5,000 rpm is intoxicating. It also just looks like an absolute riot. Sure, an M4 xDrive<\/a> would eat its lunch at the \u2018Ring, even with its fancy suspension, but I\u2019d be willing to bet a set of \u00d6hlins\u00a0dampers than the 1M is more fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
