BMWBLOG 1M European Delivery Experience: Day 3

Fri, 24 Jun 2011 23:51:29 +0000

It’s day three of our European Delivery experience , and we finally had a chance to sleep in. I know what you’re thinking: how could one possibly sleep in with the key to a lightly used 1M lying on your bedside table? Hmm. On second thought… I wish I would have woken up for an early morning blast. After grabbing breakfast near our hotel, we jumped on the Autobahn and made haste for the Nurburgring. A beautiful trip through the countryside followed with rolling hills, towering wind mills, old churches, and far off castles crowning the skyline. Spending several hours on the Autobahn has shown us the car’s highway character. Its suspension is compliant enough over bumps that you are not thrown around or beaten up over bumpy roads, although it is responsive and tight enough to make you aware of every bump and undulation in the road surface. This is a compliment of the highest order, because from a sport driving background you both want and need to feel the intricacies of the road surface. To this end, the 1M is second to no other M car – perhaps the M3 GTS which we have not had the opportunity to drive yet. On the way to the Nurburgring we stopped in the town of Karlsruhe for a photo shoot. Winding up a switchback road, we climbed above the city to capture the 1M in its element. Blocking off the roadway for a few photos, we garnered both friendly and less friendly looks from passers by. In the 1M it takes more time to photograph the car on location than it does to arrive at said location, I cannot say the same of many other cars. As much as I enjoy photography, I would really rather drive. Of course, in the interests of bringing you the latest photos from our European road trip, I mustered every ounce of my self control and frequently pulled the trigger.
