1M video review by AutoNetwork (U.S. Press Day).

TunedM2C · 05-16-2011, 09:01 PM

Don't know who Roosevelt is but he shared a ton of information and video about the 1M from the press event.

Enjoy!

All three colors on video.

Some solid information about the 1M here.

Seems like a bit of a clown.

M3 Adjuster · 05-16-2011, 10:32 PM

at least the videos give nice shots of all three colors, and you get a nice view of the business end of the 1M on the road..

E821M · 05-16-2011, 11:03 PM

I noticed in Matt Russell's power point presentation that the # of 1M's produced for the U.S. will be approximately 800.

TunedM2C · 05-17-2011, 07:35 AM

^ The 800 number is interesting but could that be for 2011 only with more to folow in 2012?

Also, the second video mentions the N54 has new pistons, rings and of course software.

MrRoboto · 05-17-2011, 08:16 AM

After seeing the vid of the rears of all three colors, VO is by far the best color IMO. AW, too much contrast between the base color and the black pieces on the car, BSM not enough contrast, VO just right.

VO seems to accentuate the bulkiness of the 1M.

No, not new pistons -- new "piston rings."

And, yes --new software.

You're right, I thought I saw a comma after psitons.

R32 · 05-17-2011, 10:51 AM

what is that sitting so low under the car? diff cooler? that looks like it could bottom pretty easily...

TunedM2C · 05-17-2011, 06:39 PM

Yep, it's the diff and I too am worried about it getting whacked especially after a slight suspension drop. I'm sure they did their R&D though.

M3 Adjuster · 05-17-2011, 11:18 PM

Despite the appearance, the exhaust is still likely the lowest point..

Fun with mirrors....with these undercarriage photos...

The Diff is on the Axle, it won't change height with a suspension drop - only with a change of wheel/tire size

I'm not sure that's true. That's not a live axle. If the tires move up relative to the body, the center section of that diff will be moved closer to the ground just like the body, while each half axle angles up a little from the diff to the tire, wouldn't it?
