1M VO Testdrive in Belgium

steve79 · 04-20-2011, 11:16 AM

BMW BELUX came to my dealer with the 1M, so that i could see VO in person, and i also had a test drive with my future car!! SO NICE, THANKS TO THEM!!

It was the first time, that i've seen VO in person, and I must say, WOW, really stunning,nearly impossible to catch this colour on photos!!! I ordered mine in VO, for sure now!!

great shots!!

I am seriously getting the 1M itch.

Don't mean to derail but how has no one asked for pics of your Fiat Abarth 500??
Post those up too!

+1. Love that car.

The 1M looks great, as well as the E30 M3 vert beside it. Is it yours?

Was the test drive worth talking about? Your title led me to believe that you would share some revelations from the drive, no? The last pic looks the best.

Thanks for the photos! That's the colour I'm also getting. Good to hear your thoughts on VO!

Great color!
Gonna try to see this one in real life though before switching to VO...

((I couldn't answer earlier, just returned home from an ONE Republic concert here in Luxemburg, i talked to them after the show, really nice american guys!!))

So, back to the topic:

The E30 M3 in the pic, is not mine!

I've just added two new pics at the bottom of my first post, where you can see better the brightness of VO, in the sun!
The drive was only about 10 minutes, on the highway, limit was 4500 rpm, the car only had 1000 miles on the odometer!! 180 km/h was my max Speed!!

I think,it's really different to my former 135i, it really feels, more than an actual M3, (which i also drove some weeks ago)!
It's a totally different feeling compared to my 135i, the M-Coupé is a real M-Car, i will say!!
For me, it's not a 135i on steroids, absolutely not!!

Now, I have to wait until August , to get mine!!
