On Board 1M Coupe With Chris Harris [Video]
Featured on 1ADDICTS HOMEPAGE.
Here is Chris's accompanying blog entry from evo: Quote:
The driver mentions the Nring time being 8 minutes and 7? Not sure though cause it's not too clear... What do you guys think? Anyways can't wait to see the final product next year. |

Wow. Nice find. Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't sound too bad. I wish they had more shots of the car around the track. Good video.

When asked to estimate, he said "guessing, eight point seven, something like that", meaning either 8 minutes 7 seconds, or 8 minutes 42 seconds (.7 X 60 = 42)
He must have meant 8 min 7 sec, since the 135 i does it in 8'39.2sec. http://www.fastestlaps.com/track2.html

I love it how the guy asks a bunch of technical questions, and the driver is all awkward and doesn't answer...
Q: "whats under the bonnet?" A: "just listen to it! just feel it!" Q: "its a turbo 6? A: "it sounds good!" Q: "def has a locking differential?" A: "I would guess?" Interesting the driver said built in over-steer... What I want to know is, where do I apply for the job to drive journalists around in development ///M cars? |

It does sound really good, much better than the first video. When Chris asked him about making the turbo engines sound good I think he said they still have more to do, or something to that effect.
I really think we haven't anything to worry about guys... |

I am guessing this will be the best selling car for ///M within months! Back to pure compact driving - I will ditch our 135i for this.

I just got wood watching the car accelerate out of the pit at the end of the video. Oh, yeah... I want this car!
