  • do not cross your arms while steering .

  • M1 in Germany no 1M and where is BMW from?? :P

  • BMW 4 EVER !!!

  • try doing a  time compare when the track is dry ....

  • @hultii Then the 1M will crush it even more. Damp track favors 4WD.

    Mercs and Audis never stand a chance against the BMW at the track

  • @BamsenKose i know i was just saying to see the true potential of the 1m ... but guess in uk a sunny day is too much to ask for :)

  • Since can you order the 1M in red? I thought they were only available in orange, white and black

  • @Rico85 Color correction in post editing and overcast weather tends to draw the orange into a more reddish color.

  • awd for women

    fwd for new drivers

    rwd for men

  • you drive lake a snail :)))

  • It's actually BMW 1M not M1

  • YOU DRIVE LIKE A PUSSY !!! ;)

  • the 1M: a 3.0L twin turbo, 335hp, RWD, 2+2 layout, 1/4 mile in 13s, 6 speed manual, 3200lbs supra: a 3.0L twin turbo, 340hp, RWD, 2+2 layout, 1/4 mile in 13s, 6 speed manual, 3200lbs i wonder how B.M.W came up with a car like that??

  • when the test drivers jumps in the BMW their reaction tells is all which is the Ultimate drivers machine and which is a joke! that understeering glorified VW would never see a bimmer in handling and fun.agility,all it has is launch which the RWD tears into pieces as soon as it finds traction,the BMW is NATURAL and its involving,buy a Bimmer and drive one i bet u will NEVER look at an audi again.

  • hahahahahaha these cars fucking SUCK ! SO ugly ! Looks like a baby took a shit

  • boom audi fans.... bmw wins! facts are facts 1 series m was faster easier to drive or not

  • for me M/// all day, is a way different world

  • As an owner of an Audi RS4 I have test driven both . . the 1M Coupe is a fun car . . but as it rained on the day (as it does a lot in the UK) she became a different beast . . you cannot relax driving for one second otherwise she will spit you into the kerb at every bend and roundabout . . you cannot drive like this in the UK without attarcting the police . . . as a car to drive every day the RS3. . on a dry day 1M coupe . . so shall I change my RS4? . . No, as it can do both.

  • @wideangle852 I've driven many high-powered RWD cars and currently own a 300bhp BMW 130i (tuned, obviously) and have yet to feel 'out of control'. I feel far more in control, actually. The chassis is far more adjustable than that of an AWD or FWD car and the steering feel is far better than any Audi I've ever driven. As capable as the RS4 is (and we're actaully comparing the RS3), they are not 'pure' drivers' cars in the sense the 1M is. You just have to know how to drive properly.

  • @benwestonjazz . . please test drive the 1M . . I won't say anything more because you obviously have no idea . . . 

  • @wideangle852 I HAVE driven the 1M and I've also driven the RS3 (although, admittedly, not the RS4 but that's irrelevant here). The 1M, according to most car press, is leagues ahead of the RS3 in terms of driving involvement. I totally agree too - the RS3 is just a car. A very quick and very nice car but not very involving. No steering feedback, a woolly chassis, pedals spaced too far for heel-toeing comfortably. It's a car for drivers who don't actually like driving/know how to drive properly.

  • @benwestonjazz Pretty much sums up my experience with most of Audi cars... Not even R8 with the "small" engine could put a smile om my face lika Ferrari f430 Scuderia or C6 Corvette for example. But I guess it depends what you value in a car...

  • @wideangle852

    good thing i live in Los Angeles California !! BMW 1M will b perfect here :))

  • @wideangle852 I think you not objective, there are videos on youtube which is in driving on snow and wet pavement is a AUDI RS4 latter behind the bmw 1M.use the search = [Bmw 1M] Bmw1M Coupe Snow Drifting = BMW 1M Drift = BMW 1 Series M Coupe Pre-Release Car On The Road - UK....and I will look for the video where you see an RS3 wet with a lot of understeer, Greetings.

  • he says at 10 sec, that its the m1 coupe. but it´s the 1 series m coupe...

  • the new monster BMW M5 with its large size and weight will surprise your behavior, you will get an amazing time,Greetings.

  • yeaaa another victory.

  • @1MBemeta

    Do you know that too, many mags in to the world, gets difference times.

    Best time what Audi TT-RS has 0-100km/h is 3.9 seconds. Audi TT-RS has also 6 speed manual.

    Audis strenght is straigth line speed, and BMWs strenght is on track. But its doesent mean, if car is faster on track, and slower on straight line speed, its faster in usual way than other.

  • Comment removed

  • @1MBemeta

    Do you know how big difference 80kg is between RS3 and 1 M Coupe? I can tell you, its big on the carworld.

    Audi RS3, power to weight ratio is 213hp/tonne.

    BMW 1 M Coupe, power to weight ratio is 222hp/tonne.

    What better power to weight ratio is, then much better car is on track..Mostly.

    Audi RS3 strenght is on straight line speed. Best time in 0-100km/h, is 4.07 seconds, by swedish carmagazine.

  • @85Pagani know that the BMW has better power to weight ratio, but is minimal, the BMW engine has much more strong character,you see the video on Youtube Audi RS3 vs Bmw1M and (acceleration test) and see how the BMW 1M away from the Audi,by the way according to a magazine in Spain the Audi TTRs accelerates 100kmh in 4.8 seconds, and that the TTRs is lighter than the RS3 .. can watch it if you wish in (Autopista.es), Greetings.

  • @85Pagani Audi / TTRS Coupé 2.5 TFSi Quattro 0-1000m= 23,7seconds, BMW 1M 0-1000m 23,7seconds..Bmw= 1570kg,Audi TTRS= 1525 kg..Audi RS3 weighs 1650 kg and has the same engine audi TTRS but with 125kg more ..LOL..

  • @85Pagani I forgot that Audi has the great advantage of his change s-tronic dual-clutch, and the BMW 1M is manual .. lol

  • 1MBemeta

    Think. RS3 is 5 door sportback, 1 M Coupe is 3 door coupe. 1 M Coupe has better power to weight ratio than RS3 has. 1 M Coupe is much lighter, of course is better on track.

  • @85Pagani Audi RS 3 Sportback 1650kg,BMW Serie 1 M Coupé 1570kg,80 kg,not think it is so decisive weight, bmw always very well distributed weights..his powerful 6-cylinder 3.0 biturbo engine is a real beast..our dyno has given us 348,8cv / 5.220 Rpm 57,7Mkg(overboost Funtion) / 2.580Rpm, 4,71seconds in acceleration from 0-100km / h,BMW has done a great job with the development of its chassis and is 10 seconds faster than an M3 E-46 in Nurburgring. greetings

  • @bymmer910

    Audi RS3 is much faster on straight line speed. And if RS3 is a 3 door version, then is much faster on track, because normal S3 coupe is much faster than S3 sportback is, and its also lighter.

  • @85Pagani I do not understand what you mean ...greetings.

  • there's one little thing. anybody can drive a quattro, but it takes skill and technique to drive a quattro fast which this douche obviously doesnt have. And the beamer is a coupe whilst the Audi is a 4 door hatch.

  • and again " Audi sucks " ....because even with 4WD , audi coudn't beat BMW on the WET track hahaha AUDI LOOOOOOOOOSER :) :) :)

  • the m1 is fucking ugly

  • wo sind die ganzen audifreaks jetzt.... wie so oft hat audi versagt...BMW > Audi

  • Audi fails once again :)

  • So if you have no idea how to control a car or just can't be bothered you should buy the Audi. If you want to have any fun at all and not just the usual Audi understeer you should buy the BMW. All the comments about not trying as hard in the Audi - have you ever driven one? There's nothing to try hard for. Turn in as close to the front tyres limit as possible then just sit and wait. He's working more in the BMW because he's involved and has a lot of options on what it does. That's the fun.

  • 1. He didn't look so determined in the RS3 - He was really leaning forward after he got into the BMW

    2. The BMW was so out of control, the RS3 was composed, and the BMW just looked so slippy and all over the place

  • That's the same 1M that was on Top Gear and Fifth Gear.

  • Gee that's a hard one.. A 5-door granny wagon on one side, and a 2-door hot coupe on the other..Oh and since when do Geeksquad gets to test drive cars?? LOL

  • LULZ, was this filmed with a Juston Bieber Potatoe? Nissan GTR 4 the win. Thumbz up if you read this 2013!11!

  • Quattro fail.

  • @themardybum08: Until it starts raining ... or snowing.

  • @SKiLLa2007 Why buy an RS model to drive in the snow? There's no excuse for it to understeer. Nissan can make a much heavier GTR turn in so why do Audi always set their models up to be boring? It's not the car - it's the settings used on the car.

  • @hunghuge12 : Why buy an 1M when 6 months a year it's snowing ? It's just the same rediculious reasoning ... And a GTR is much more expensive, powerful and it's a 2-seater sportscar, not a family hatchback. You're comparing peaches to apples ...

  • @SKiLLa2007 What country you live in? We usually get less than a weeks worth of snow a year here. That's worth the loss of involvement and the understeer the rest of the time, isn't it? lol Oh and last time I drove a GTR it defo had 4 seats and a decent boot.

  • Rolling starts never give a true time. Try again, but this time drive both cars equally hard plz!!!

  • is it a girl driving? It seems like it...

  • Put on some nice rims on the Audi ffs!!!

  • @mrfrankiefiggz lol people that write (not say) ///M Power on YouTube just happen to be enthusiast that recognize the strengths and performances of the ///M cars.

    With this in mind, you must be a sorry bastard with no appreciation of sports vehicles what so ever. In simple words, go drive a civic you dip shit.

    Both great cars BTW, just a matter of preference.

    ///M

  • All i know is any joker can dress/rice up a normal A3 to this RS3 but you cant do that if you just bought a 1 series coupe,plus the A3's shape will be going out soon with the new model coming. RS3 waste of time, may as well get the TTRS it at least looks better plus you can get manual

  • Everyone here is a twat. Audi and BMW are both very good cars. Heck, none of you probably own either make or have ever driven one. Audi is for style and BMW is for the driving experience... simple as, although that's not to say Audi's aren't good to drive and BMW's aren't stylish! @MegaGmaan "AUDIS ARE SHIT END OF STORY ANY BMW WILL DESTROY ANY AUDI"...... Wise up.

  • All you BMW fan boys are so pathetic...?//././ M powerrrrr!...shut up. M stands for Muff

  • BMW is better looking than the Audi and is faster, oh and more fun....just like how BMWs used to be, still is and will always be :)

  • damn that 1m is ugly. Fast but ugly

  • Comment removed

  • AUDIS ARE SHIT END OF STORY ANY BMW WILL DESTROY ANY AUDI

    BMW ///M POWER is for fast drivers AUDI RS is for uneducated People !!!

  • @MegaGmaan u are a bougie ass twat

  • @tomykaze. Audi RS3 is faster staight line speed than 1 M Coupe is.

  • all those crying audi fans .:-) I'll beat this RS3 with my oner diesel!!

  • RS3 would be faster if this guy has used its potential...

    BTW TT RS is still faster and better than this ugly BMW.

  • We'll make it fair. SHIT ON THE BMW AND TAKE THE AUDI HOME TO GET LAID. GOT IT....

  • Oh dear.. this comment section is beginning to fill up with the tears of Audi fanboys :/

  • Yes lets make it fair by doin a rolling start as thats how all motor sport "races" are done. Fail........

  • @FidiAdrianosTV he drove the RS3 like an old lady would do, with the BMW 1M he put the pedal to the metal .

  • u deaf ?! he said the audi is very easy to drive = not much effort to put when driving

    but the when driving BMW you should be focused otherwise u will spin like crazy..especially on wet

  • @pr0gi You supposed to be focused when driving anyways lol.

  • @pr0gi depends who's driving :)

    

  • @pr0gi hes simply talking about the emotion of the driver, and that it seems that his spirit is a tad bit higher in the 1M compared to the RS3. What he says about the cars does not matter. You should read before you call someone deaf, because you look like a dumbass.

  • @pr0gi BMW 1M is a car that conveys many feelings thanks to its huge torque from low rpm to the rear wheels,requires great expertise when it comes squeeze the maximum as well in its day M3 e-30...and to do that will have to disconnect the controls,Audi only benefits from its total traction when the soil is moist, allowing you to accelerate much earlier in the curves,Dry is different, Audi has a little more subviraje, BMW is more evenly distributed weights. greetings

  • @pr0gi bmw will always be more spectaculaire...because rwd is the key

  • @pr0gi awd vs rear wheel drive. Most people want that feeling that your incontrol not the car.

  • There's no hiding that BMW pay a lot of these magazine and TV programmes. Just look at how layeed back he was drving the Audi, then as soon as he got in the BMW he actually tried LOL

  • Love your taste of cars;)

  • 3:00 the guy is almost sleeping ... this review should be named the "Best compact car for sleeping on track" and i will take the Audi on that! Have a nice sleep guys, don't forget your sleep mask ...ROFL

  • - Man this guy put me to sleep ... 

  • Numbers speak for them selves. 1M is faster, and more importantly that boring ass guy was even having FUN while driving the BMW. And bringing a "better" or a professional driver won't do anything, 1M is much harder to drive because of its set up while the Audi is easy as mentioned by Mr. Boring Ass Guy. In an experienced driver, 1M will shine even more.

  • all of the 1m are sold, so no matter how good it is, the RS3 is the only one that you could actually have..

  • @shobin05 Not true. In July audi already sold out for more than a year of the RS3 production, so i'm guessing by now i'll be more than that.

  • Call the STIG!

  • Rs3 if 2 doors and you will see what happen.....

  • Fair. Rs3 is heavier so... i rest my case.

  • Audi front ends are really ugly... Designers need to re-think that oversized inverted trapezoidal grille.

  • Try snow and ice.

  • @75jeremiah

    But a fair match is on the track, or else, i can compare a Lada Niva with a Gumpert Apollo in a dirt track in the middle of a jungle...

    Lada wins...

  • The whole point of having a small car with lots of power is that it is supposed to be fun and exciting to drive! BMW 1M is not only the clear winner when it comes to driving thrill, but also the fastest (despite the damp surface). ///M

  • dont mess with BMW

  • The 1M is pretty cool , but is no match for E30 M3 , which is a legend . BTW , did someone spotted he was not so determined in the RS3 ?

  • @FidiAdrianosTV the 1M has beated the legend on top gear track btw !

  • @fadyberlon even if is faster , is not all about lap times , sport cars are made for FUN

  • @FidiAdrianosTV n thats also wat every reviewer said about that car its the most fun M car more than the legend !

  • this guy drives like my granny... same driving position

  • @CC6Z06 my granny is a bmw fan, sorry... she prefers drifting the //M

  • @ChRiS00107 super good granny......ok

  • Comment removed

  • This guy is good driver !

  • Beemer for a track day sure, but Audi for the wet B-road in the dark thanks.

  • yh cus you r always powersliding on the road :L should be called "how to wrap yourself around a tree m bmw" :) Love how all the people who are commenting on these videos probably cant even afford to buy either :)

  • Its a 1M not M1 =.="

  • @karthikaikumar yup, but it's a shame that they can't call it that way, because it's what it SHOULD be called!

    The (real) M1 should have been called some other name, like M10 or something, because it does not represent the 1 series in any way, but I think it was made before there even was a 1-series car, that's the problem

    anyways... it's just a name, the car is effing amazing!

  • @razioth ya the 1M was amazing, I was one of few lucky people to have one in my garage =D

  • @karthikaikumar was? :(

    In 10 years I want one too even if it's a 2011 used one!!!

  • @razioth haha, ya its my first M car and its a heck of a car to drive. The best part is the tail spins out soo easily its so much fun taking corners with this...

  • Rear-wheel drive rules...

  • ah yeah cus everyone has a race track to go to work, or pick up the children....if your buying a 40k car on a lap time then you are retarded. audi is the far quicker car from day to day driving

  • HA, the RS3 is a complete pile of crap. Its nowhere near as fun to drive and loses to the BMW in every single aspect. Literally the only thing i thought it might be better at is lap times at it ISN'T! Get outta' here Audi.

  • @radar3699----LOL. get back in your mum's Corolla, little nerd. Audi RS3 > anything you will ever drive.

  • @iedei The RS3 is literally so insanely shit, i don't think you quite understand how much of a flop it was compared to the 1M.

  • @radar3699 you are an idiot. This is what happens when a loser doesn't drive cars for himself----he watches videos like you do and makes an opinion......and that opinion is generally WRONG like you probably always are.

  • @iedei I'M the idiot? Your displaying no facts about either car whatsoever and instead just blatantly insulting me, desperately trying to get your point across. The RS3 is as boring as piss, and with quattro 4WD system I thought it would be faster on the track and it isn't. I don't hate Audi, but the the RS3 was a hopeless letdown. Your what happens when you don't drive either cars or even know shit about them. So please use some facts if your trying to prove a point dumbshit.

  • BMW beats audi, nothing new under the sun.

  • Dislike? 1? Why?

  • I wonder if you were on a dry track if the gap would widen?

  • in summer BMW in WInter and on ice AUDI Q

  • I don't like how this guy calls it the M1 in the beginning. Either way, I prefer the BMW.

  • Try the new Audi TT RS with 460 HP.... the 2012 ultimate version... he will kicks ass

  • @ZorK0717 try new 1M with 780 hp...the ...2013 version

  • This guy is in cruise mode... LOL

  • I actually love and respect both of these! BMW is more wild and fun, and engine note is more metallic. Audio is more safe in bad weather, and the engine note is sexy like a baby V10. Can't go wrong with either!

  • audi so much sexyer :P

  • The BMW is a Coupe the Audi is a Sportback! So it's heavier, and not so agile! Try the Audi TT-RS.

  • Although I am a big Audi fan I have to admit that the 1M wins this test but I agree with TheEryk03 it'll be interesting to see it up against the TT RS.

  • it looks to me or he tried better with the 1M ?

  • @FidiAdrianosTV Yeah, He should drive more aggressive.

  • these laps doesnt mean a thing. 10 different laps = 10 different times....

  • @omgwicked1 when you can't drive yeah

  • those red things on the audi's rims make it look cheap

  • Put on a god damn jacket!

  • the audi isn't even available with a manual transmission... it's a damn sports car!!

    I'd buy the 1M any day

  • @razioth Thats because the DSG makes it faster and more efficient. Sports car today dont need a manual, these arent the 70's. And yes, Audi is available with a manual.

  • @derbigpr500 Nope, the RS3 is ONLY offered with the S-tronic 7-speed automatic transmission, why not at least OFFER a 6 or 7 speed manual? Manuals are a couple of grands cheaper, more reliable, less expensive to fix/maintain, and most of all : MORE FUN. Sports cars are about being fun to drive, and changing through the gears myself is more fun in itself and allows for more control over your car. Ok dual-clutch might shift a few milliseconds faster but it doesn't matter at all in the real life.

  • @razioth Cars with DSG are incredibly fun to drive. Even driving a VW Golf with 1.4 TSI engine and DSG gearbox feel like driving a car from a computer game. Manuals are fun to drive sometimes, but most of the time they're pain in the ass. Try driving in some city with a manual car, driving for 100 meters, then stopping for a traffic light...and doing that on a 20 km's long stretch of road, and doing that every morning when going to work. Manuals are fun only when you're driving quickly.

  • @derbigpr500 I've been driving in the traffic every day on my way to work and home, and I don't see the issue here, it's not hard at all. My car has 320,000km and still has the factory engine&clutch&transmission and there's no problem with it whatsoever. I agree my grandmother or my aunt would find it difficult to drive in traffic so an automatic transmission is perfect for them, but for any car enthusiast (who buys sports car) manuals are the way to go in my book.

  • @razioth Depends what you want. In a real proper sports car that would be used on a track, manual transmission is always more fun, but in every day situations, when driving normally, a automatic is much more relaxed to drive. There's no point having a manual in dense traffic when you driving like 40-50 km/h, or on opened roads where you constantly drive 100-110 km/h.

  • @derbigpr500 i drive in heavy traffic almost every day and i would never replace manual with automatic.

    it doesnt matter how good the automatic is, I still dont have the control over my gear changes and i dont want that.

  • @derbigpr500 automatic gearbox for LAZY ASS people and you're one of them no matter what you say i made my point about the automatic gearbox cars

  • The track looked like it had dried out a fair bit during the BMW's run... is that still a fair conclusion?

  • @TheEryk03

    True but the rs3 and 1m have the same sort of price and the tt-rs is more expensive

  • @TheEryk03 TT should loose too... laptimes favour the 1M, even compared to the TT-RS by a bit.

    I'm not a BMW fan, e love both cars, i'm just saying

  • @TheEryk03 Other reviews have shown that the 1M is still faster than the TT-RS. I'm not hating on any car I love both but I still prefer the 1M! Generally speaking, you can expect a BMW to be faster/sportier than its competition, including other german cars. BUT, the fact that the TT-RS has AWD, it's more suitable for bad conditions, but who drives a sport car during the winter ? I'd rather have a RWD 1M for the summer and say an AWD car for the winter/bad conditions

  • @razioth not exactly, beacouse TT-RS is faster on some tracks, even on dry. And TT-RS is much faster on the straight line. Both are very fast but I prefer TT-RS.

  • TT is not coupe it's 2 seater which means smaller and lighter.

  • @tanxu TT has seats at the back. And why TT is name "TT coupe" or "TT Roadster"?

    Because TT is coupe or roadster...

  • @TheEryk03 try tt rs vs bmw 645ci.....coupe' to coupe'...

  • @CC6Z06 Better than TT RS vs X6.
