Arrow Jeremy Clarkson impressed by the BMW 1M - New Top Gear Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwoEH...ature=youtu.be

In Top Gear Season 17 Episode 1, Jeremy Clakson praises the new Bavarian baby M car. "In M Mode it's even more of a tire smoking mentalist." Watch the video for some great action and a surprising lap time.

Got to wake up in 5 hours but I dont want to go to sleep because I don't think I'll be able to feel as happy when I wake up as I do right now after watching that episode

The 1M is getting alot of good reviews. But I'm a Porsche fan, I would rather a Cayman R

So in the E60 M5, pressing the M button activates the remaining two cylinders and bumps from 400 to 500 hp, what does the button do in the 1M?

One thing only - changes the ecu to a sharper more aggressive map (comparable to the POWER button in the E9x M3). And that's it.

I'm pretty sure the power button on the M5/M6 just opens the throttle bodies more. I don't think it uses any cylinder deactivation.

True, it changes the ECU map from 400 to 500 among other things but the car is always banging on 10 cylinders.
