BMW 1-series M Coupe (2011) long-term test review

BMW 1-series M Coupe (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 22 March 2012 13:01

Starring on the small screen: our 1M video - 23 March 2012 Before Jethro Bovingdon departed the CAR offices, he recorded a lovely film about our long-term test BMW 1-series M Coupe. In all the to-ing and fro-ing of him leaving, we never got round to showing his video review of our favourite small long-termer on the fleet. Watch this ...

BMW 1-series M Coupe (2011) CAR review

BMW 1-series M Coupe (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 28 April 2011 10:00

This is the new BMW 1-series M Coupe, and it signals a significant departure for BMW’s famed M Division. After generations of high-revving, naturally aspirated engines, BMW M is being forced down the forced induction route in a bid to produce more fuel efficient cars. The forthcoming M5 has a twin-turbo V8, the next-gen M3 will feature a blown six-cylinder ...

BMW 1-series M Coupe prototype (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 16 December 2010 11:30

This is BMW's latest M car, the 1-series M Coupé. When it hits UK roads in May 2011, the 1-series M Coupé will go head-to-head with the new Audi RS3. Both produce 335bhp and 332lb ft of torque, have a sub-five second 0-62mph time and cost less than £40,000. We've driven a late prototype here. Read on for CAR Magazine's first drive ...

BMW 1-series M Coupe (2011) first ride review

Rated 3 out of 53

CAR's in Spain today and we've scored a first ride in the new BMW 1-series M Coupé. It's the much-anticipated 'M1' version of the 1-series, albeit badged more sensitively so as not to upset fans of BMW's original 1970s supercar.The 1-series M Coupé arrives in June 2011 so we're riding onboard a year ahead of UK launch. It looks squat ...

BMW 135i Performance Pack (2009) CAR review

BMW 135i Performance Pack (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 21 August 2009 09:30

Sporty BMWs and aftermarket add-ons go hand-in-hand. Some AC Schnitzer aluminium pedals for your M3, perhaps? A set of Hartge rims? Maybe even a Dinan supercharger kit? Now BMW has decided to tap this lucrative niche, offering the BMW Performance line of exterior and interior accessories for the 1- and 3-series. Here we drive the firm’s fully loaded 135i demo. ...

AC Schnitzer ACS1 Sport Eco (2009) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 02 March 2009 10:00

We don’t make a habit of testing modified cars here at CAR Online, but when the go-faster gurus at AC Schnitzer told us they’d made BMW’s 118d faster and greener, well, we just had to take a closer look. Here it is, then, the ACS1 Sport Eco. I’m assuming green is a relative term when Schnitzer’s involved… Not at all, ...

BMW 120i SE Convertible (2008) driven CAR review

BMW 120i SE Convertible (2008) driven CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Glen Waddington, 25 April 2008 10:16

Remember when the BMW 3-series convertible had a fabric roof? It wasn’t always an upmarket folding tin-top. So a gap’s opened up beneath it. A gap that’s a perfect fit for a smart and decently engineered rag-top that’s just about big enough to squeeze your kids in the back. Enter the BMW 1-series Convertible. Hang on. £25k? Sounds a bit ...

BMW 125i Convertible (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Richard Aucock, 29 January 2008 12:53

BMW teased us with the 1-series concept back in 2002. Remember the CS1, a stubby two-door drop-top, with flame surfacing fanning the flames of controversy? The BMW firewall, roasted by a million e-mails calling for Chris Bangle’s head, certainly does. It’s perhaps no coincidence that BMW has taken six years – six years! – to put that iteration into production. ...

BMW 123d Coupe M Sport (2008) CAR review

BMW 123d Coupe M Sport (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Richard Aucock, 29 October 2007 03:28

We quite liked the BMW 135i, but the bulk of the 1-series Coupe sales will be diesel. How times change. The 120d boasts 177bhp (to think we thought a 1990s 325i, with 170bhp, was fast) but it’s the range-topper that’s the most interesting. The 123d, benefiting from BMW’s sequential twin turbo technology already seen on the 535d, boosts this 2.0-litre four ...

BMW 135i Coupe (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 21 October 2007 12:01

So, is this the ‘One’ that everyone has been waiting for? Very good. The thought of a small, highly focused BMW, with the full M Sport works, powered by one of the finest engines on sale has certainly had us salivating. Shoehorned into the 135i’s engine bay is the same 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight six found in the 335i. It develops ...
