BMW M changed the title text on this post. It now reads "Please listen and guess: what (known) M Automobile is waiting here for its start tomorrow?"

So, its not a new M car.

Very smooth. Sounds like a turbocharged I6 for me. M135i F20/F21? 1 Series M Convertible E87? 1 Series M CSL E82?

Whatever, I think N54, but I could be totally wrong.

 

[speed_kills]

Sounds like a riced up Mitsubishi Evolution.

 

[-=Hot|Ice=-]

That's a I6. I'm going to have to say M135i

That's a I6. I'm going to have to say M135i

But that car in the picture looks like an 1M or something similar......1M CSL?? (I wish)

 

[EMpower]

I am with Levi, 1M -N54 or M135i F20/21.

I would say a 135i or 1M with the inline-6 sound N54. Now all of the M cars sound almost the same especially within their series trim level.

Also, BMW has now resorted to putting audio synthesizers under the dash that "play" engine/exhaust sounds through the speaker of the stereo system, which sounds more like a cooning sound of a fetus (i.e. BMW M5).

Sounds I6 but not like the 1M, two exhaust pipes not four?. If the picture is not related to the noise then I would also guess M135i, it's also known.

Could it be a 1M convertible? Scott has said it was a possibility depending on coupe sales and the timing could be right.

BTW, the picture reminds me of Forza Motorsport for Xbox 360....????

 

[Levi68]

It says "known". It could be a special version, so 1 Series M CSL, but it has officially stopped production. Only the M135i is known to us, and it does not sound like a V8. I think the pic has nothing to do. Maybe even M335i, but not M3, because it is too early, we won't see it even at M festival.

Yes, surely. I also thought it was from some game.

I uploaded the video to YT, for those of us that don't have a facebook account:

That's the sound of the 1M for a new online game.

Virtual driving pleasure with BMW models.

24.04.2012

Munich. Authentic driving pleasure is not just for the real world – as Auto Club Revolution , the new online racing game and car community for PC, demonstrates. Different BMW models can be configured for driving according to personal preferences. The online game from British game developer Eutechnyx features the BMW 1 Series M Coupé, the BMW 135i, the BMW M3 Coupé, the BMW M5 and the BMW Z4 M Coupé.



As exclusive launch partner, BMW was involved in the development of the online racing game from the early stages. Auto Club Revolution is not just a classic racing game with real-world tracks and realistically-detailed models, but is also designed to become an established forum for racing fans, automobile manufacturers and car enthusiasts. Over the long term, this is designed to develop into a strong community, with links to BMW channels.



There will also be an exclusive “BMW Experience” for BMW fans: a specially-designed game experience which includes a specially designed race track, where players will be able to demonstrate their driving skill just with the BMW 1 Series M Coupé. Once they have successfully completed this BMW challenge, players can transfer the BMW 1 Series M Coupé to the main game for free, and set new track records by themselves or with friends.



Andreas-Christoph Hofmann, Vice President Brand Communication BMW, Marketing services BMW Group: “Our customers are tech-savvy and love to be able to put their dream car together the way they want. Auto Club Revolution has the possibility to make our models accessible to a large number of car enthusiasts. It was extremely important to us that our models be portrayed realistically. In Eutechnyx we found a partner who shares our highest quality standards.”



“It is always a real challenge to build a vehicle’s distinctive handling accurately in a game – generating the models from CAD data is just not enough. To reproduce the handling of the BMW 1 Series M Coupé in Auto Club Revolution in an authentic manner, we first took it out on the real racetrack. That is the only way to know exactly how the car corners, for example,” said Doug Wolff, Auto Club Revolution Team Lead.



The BMW Experience will go online on 24 April at http://bmw.autoclubrevolution.com. All that is required to play the game is a PC with an internet connection.
