BMW 1M - Driven at Brands Hatch
On my recent trip to Brands Hatch, with BMW on tuesday, I got a chance to drive the 1M round the circuit, nothing above 90mph(we were only supposed to do 70!) and not with the M button on, but I have to say how impressive it felt, nice wide track, very planted feeling, brilliant feedback through the steering and a great noise. If I wasnt so happy with the 911, Id consider one! The car I drove was number 1 of 450, if I remember correctly and had already covered 8500 miles!!

Insurance, I presume, no helmets etc etc.
I wasnt reigned in on the M3 track car, where out of approx 45 people I scored joint top with 90pts! We also had passenger rides with Tiff Needell and Nick Foster, screamed Cooper works cars around the car park, and handling tests in a 650! brilliant day once again, thank you BMW

Oh and youre right, it is just a sexy car. I actually saw another on my way home. I did consider putting an order in, but the drive home in the 911, confirmed I love the Porsche too much.

The M3's sounded the nuts going up Hailwood, and it looked like you all had a great day, although you f*ckers made our track day a late start, selfish barstewards The IM looked impressive M3's were the stars though, sounded great I had a great time on the track, fantastic value (£49.00), apart from the MPG

That 12.8mpg is very good for an M3 on track. I got slightly lower out of the denz at Snett once!!

So with the clownage thread in mind, does this get some form of exception as it comes as standard?
