Driving tips

Drive train

In your BMW 1-Series M Coupe, special
emphasis has been placed on the direct con-
nection between the engine and drive. The tor-
sionally rigid execution of the drive train results
in acoustic feedback of the torque, as is typical
in sports cars. Clacking sounds can arise during
load changes. They do not impair functionality
or shorten the lifespan of any component.

Driving on a race track

BMW recommends the following measures
before driving on a race track:

Participate in a BMW driver training course

Have the vehicle checked by your BMW
center

Operation on race tracks results in a
higher rate of wear. The BMW 1-Series M

Coupe is not designed for use in competitive
motor sports. This wear is not covered by the
vehicle warranty.

The series brake pads and wear indicator are
not designed for operation on a race track. Your
BMW center will be glad to advise you.
