Most people will agree that BMW M3 is the only car that has a racing
background and fits into day to day city driving with ease.
But for most enthusiasts that car was a tad bit expensive, so BMW has
decided to reward their loyalty with the 1M.
The styling is not groundbreaking or strikingly new, but it is not
ugly either.
The front end has seen no change from the 1 series family face apart
from the purposeful airvents.The headlamps are kinda cute and not mean
or striking as in an M3 and thus give the car a different feel.
It is wider than the regular 1 series sedan mostly because it has to house
that huge powerplant beneath its hood.Flowing hood lines are pretty
similar to those seen in the BMW line up.
Those flaring wheel arches are purposeful because under them are the
wide tyres that are required with this kind of a car.
Looking from the side its hard to spot the difference between the M3
and 1M.Both of then sport the same stance.The 1M is slightly smaller
than its bigger brother but by no means is it any lesser.
What you also spot is the M badging done just behind the front wheel,
and the crease that follows sweeps the length of the car beautifully.
Coming to the rear end you see that typical "pinched" tail that is again
common to almost all bimmers.Tail lights are in sync with the whole
design of the car and contribute to the pleasing rear end.The vents on the
sides of the rear bumper look great and add to that feeling of flow.
But the delight is obviously the 4 exhaust pipes that don its rear.
Overall, this little hot performer from BMW is a well designed car
incorporating all the dynamics that make it worthy of the M badge.
