Wow, the 1M is FAST in gear!

ChrisBuer · 07-06-2011, 07:32 AM

I've just been looking through the Autocar road test of the 1M and comparing data to other sports cars and I have to say that I'm impressed!

If we just for a moment forget 0-60 / 0-100 times and look at the in gear times, the 1M is seriously impressive.

Here are the facts:

BMW 1M
30-50mph in 3rd/4th 2.4 / 3.3 sec
40-60mph in 4th/5th 3.2 / 3.8 sec
50-70mph in 5th 4.0 sec

Other cars for comparison!

Porsche 911 3.8 GT3 RS
30-50mph in 3rd/4th 2.6 / 3.6 sec
40-60mph in 4th/5th 3.4 / 4.6 sec
50-70mph in 5th 4.3 sec

Audi R8 4.2 V8 FSI
30-50mph in 3rd/4th 3.0 / 4.1 sec
40-60mph in 4th/5th 3.8 / 5.1 sec
50-70mph in 5th 4.9 sec

Audi R8 5.2 V10 FSI
30-50mph in 3rd/4th 2.7 / 3.4 sec
40-60mph in 4th/5th 3.3 / 4.3 sec
50-70mph in 5th 4.3 sec

Ferrari F430 4.3 V8 F1
30-50mph in 3rd/4th 2.4 / 3.6 sec
40-60mph in 4th/5th 3.0 / 4.4 sec
50-70mph in 5th 3.9 sec

Nissan GT-R 3.8 V6 Black Edition
30-50mph in 3rd/4th 2.3 / 3.3 sec
40-60mph in 4th/5th 2.8 / 3.9 sec
50-70mph in 5th 3.5 sec

Aston Martin DBS 5.9 V12
30-50mph in 3rd/4th 2.6 / 3.2 sec
40-60mph in 4th/5th 3.2 / 4.1 sec
50-70mph in 5th 4.1 sec

Impressive stuff

Good stuff! I just made payment #1 so I feel a little better now.

ADVANT123 · 07-06-2011, 07:53 AM

How does this compare to the E9x M3?

NYC6 · 07-06-2011, 07:59 AM

Those are damn impressive #'s against very stiff competition, no doubt. The 1M N54 engine is certainly a very strong middle of the powerband performer. I just wish they would have upped the power some at the top of the band. Nothing like an engine that pulls ferociously all the way to redline and then some.

///1M · 07-06-2011, 08:02 AM

C&D clocked the 1M at 1.8s in the 45-65. They didn't document what gear was used, but it must have been either 2nd or 3rd.

Wow. Too bad some don't give the 1M credit. This is an amazing machine.

It does pull strong to redline. Sure, low end and mid range are it's strong points but it certainly doesn't fall off like a regular N54.

Have you seen dynos of the car? Redline at 7K and the engine falls off a cliff long before that. In my book, thats not 'pulling strong to redline'. Its is a matter of opinion but the #'s tell the story realistically.

BrokenVert · 07-06-2011, 11:24 AM

The N54 loses more than 1/3 of its power between 6K and redline, thats not pulling strong.

Pulling strong is a pre 2003 S2K that hits peak power after redline

I thought we were talking about factory stock cars here. Kind of apples/oranges throwing that in now, eh?

What tune do you have? I would love to see a dyno printout if you have one, thanks.
