Which Car Makes The Best Noise: BMW 1M Or M235i?
Since the BMW M2 is almost with us, we thought we'd prepare ourselves by taking the coupe's two closest relatives out for a drive. Which do you think makes the best noise?
The 1M uses an N54 twin-turbo 3.0-litre straight-six, while the M235i has the later twin-scroll turbo 3.0-litre N55. The full feature on these two cars is coming soon, but for now, give the video a watch and cast your vote!
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Spot the moment I clenched in the 1M as I shifted into second 😂
Did you launch both of those? You need to work on your starts ahaha
Was it that wet? Or is it just so torgue-y ? Awesome work!
The M235i. I heard a bit of Turbo Whistle, kind o f like a Subaru Boxer has it (I think it’s the 9th Generation, not sure though)
1M just looks like an original and M235i as its copy if you understand meSo 1M is my choice and that 1M’s engine has better sound in my opinion
Actually it’s a twinturbo straight-six. But I agree with you, it sounds better.
I do prefer the 1m as well however I think that the M235i sounds better.
Stationary revving the 1M for sure. The accelerations/drive bys the M235i
I don’t like the rear lights of the M235
me too, but the front looks nice
I have the same problem with the m4/m3 I general the back end of bms these days
very close
1M
I like the 1M better as a car, but i think the M235 sounds better
1M sounds more throaty, I think the M2 will be bonkers though
Who the fuss votes against the M235i when it sounds like that ?!
