We put BMW’s baby M Car into battle with the most potent mid-engined Porsche on sale. It’s 1-series M Coupe v Cayman R, with Chris Harris
Video Rating: 4 / 5
FAST 2002 Porsche 911 turbo TIPTRONIC
Video Rating: 4 / 5
1 WORD : BMW M1 HAHAHA
Its funny how people think the 1M isn’t a proper ‘M’ car when in reality it is the closest thing to the M bible to come in 23 years since the original E30!
BMW is back baby!
Porsche should only make the 911 and the occasional ‘Carrera GT’ type hypercar.
Cars like the Boxster, Cayman and the dreadful Cayenne 4×4 are not proper Porsches imo.
Nice review.
I am trading in my Carrera S in for a Cayman R as we speak. FYI, the Cayman R does come with a limited slip. The R’s balance is perfect.
Love this guy’s reviews!
porsche wins on looks
Chris Harris drives a car till the wheels fall off.
If I was gay, i’d wan’t to marry Chris.
I love how there’s no stupid music so you can actually hear what the car sounds like
The cayman and the 911 realistically should switch places in porsche’s line up. Mid engine cayman= well balanced, great design, but its missing simple attributes that would otherwise make it far more capable than the 911. They didn’t give it a limited slip, and if you take a cayman and 911 with the same engine and limited slip differential, the cayman would easily surpass the 911′s performance specs. I JUST DON’T GET IT!
@bistro985 no.. commander shepard looks like chris harris..
evo should have its own tv show
Does anyone think he looks like Commander Shepard from MASS EFFECT?!?!
Chris Harris never wear any new cloathes??
You rock Chris Harris! Not only do you communicate the fun, excitement and passion with your video presentations, but you somehow manage to do it in your editorials too. You are one of the most effective extant auto journalists. Congratulations. Keep it coming.
just love the new BMW 1-series M Coupe
Great review – Always happy to listen to Chris talk about cars.
mate you are a top notch reviewer… very exciting to watch and engaging. keep it up
So good to watch a motoring journalist who can actually drive… (though, I do still love Top Gear). Awesome stuff!
Porsche should use the 911 models name to it’s special Caymans, so: Cayman GT3 and Cayman GT3 RS!
But about the video…which one is quicker around a circuit and which is faster in straight line??
I think Chris Harris and Tim Schrick are the best car journalists in the world…
favourite journalist. very unbiased opinions.
@MrBazpoker
You can’t compare BMW with audi, like you cant compare mercedes with volkswagen.
liked this video after that impeccable quote ” oh dear,……. and so another tyre dies”
haha legend
@rahulramakrishnan that’s why he’s a teacher
intercooler behind the front bumper ???? LOL
Is that wing part of a “aero” kit?
@freeweekday it’s a radar detector.
tiptronic= womens car
six speed manual= mans car
What is a passport radar system?
Oh yeah > 9:44
is it me or this front lights look much nicer than now?
germans make solid solid solid cars.
HAHA chris wear a porsche shirt next time

Great Car. Love the fact there’s an Aer Lingus Airbus A332 heading for Dublin at 9:25 in the video. Still. Great car. If i had the money i’d get a Gallardo. Then again. If i had the money i’d probably get a 911 Turbo too!

Nice video and excellent host. But please try to use a wireless lavalier microphone next time.
I hope to have a job like that!!
what is passport radar?!
@lufthansaprofipilot Porsche 944? Are you JOKING? The 944 is a badly constructed, soft, poor mans porsche. If you said 911 993 i would agree, and yes i have driven both the 996 and 993, and had a ride on the 944.
@lufthansaprofipilot lol i’m not even allowed to drive a car, let stand a porsche xD
@arneduym bad construction. come to germany and learn how to drive 120 mph on governmental roads
.. or buy a real porsche 944 with a front motor.
@arneduym ya easy fix though is get better suspension this car suspension isnt as good as it needed to be for a car of this speed they sacraficed performance for comferte
lolls on all your videos, on the highway theres a 18 wheeler next to you.
@crysisdood So your poor ass is obviously not buying any of these cars so why do you care?
@slurpy911 jealous because of the way he’s bashing on someone else car? i dont think so.
ur jealous for something that ignorant
@crysisdood shut ur mouth. Your just jealous he has a better job than you hater.
anyone else think its not right for this guy to be ripping someone else’s potential car.
if i were to buy a car, i wouldnt want anyone doing this to it.
is that for sale? its prolly answered later in the video.. im too lazy to wath the rest.. but send me a rough price for it.
