BMW 1-series M
 

After tons of speculation BMW has finally confirmed the new 1 series M


Not sure how I should feel about it, but I like the way they are building the hype.

goodness about time it came out, cant wait to see it

whats with the ugly graphic on the car

It's a teaser

dang... i want. gona be hella expensive tho. thinking maybe 50G-60G range.

fuck the 135's are already sexy imagine a M version :drool:

And to think, the wife said yes to me getting a 135i next year.

Time to save a few more pennies each day to get the M.

I just can't stand the headlights on the 1-Series.. makes it look like a sad child..

a sad child?

more like a child on crack.

Do you guys think hatch variant will have a m version ?

goose pimples? is that what they call goose bumps over in there?

Just little more info:

Autobild's current issue has an exclusive on the 1M Coupe. According to Autobild, the 1M Coupe will have 340PS, twin turbo N54 engine, 6MT standard (DCT optional).


** Note: these specs have NOT been officially confirmed **

Scan and translation by southlight:
Launch in June 2011 (that's for Europe I guess)
340 PS
3.0l inline 6 with two turbochargers - same engine as Z4 35is
Flared fenders front and rear
New seats and new gauges (screenshot @ http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=406297)
19 inch wheels standard (GTS wheels, IMO)
6MT standard, DCT optional
Faster than the E46 M3
Around EUR 48k (for comparison, 135i costs EUR 40k)
Rather a little Gran Turismo than a 'race car'
Great low revv acceleration, still quite comfortable
For this reason, Autobild speculates about a 1-M GTS

1 series are soo fast.... like fuckk

I thought it was just me. I hate the headlights. It's like the stupid car is saying "OH HAI!!!1"

I don't want an M for the 1 series. It's a chick car, looks ridiculous, and has no business being "fast". Ugly things shouldn't be admired nor desired. BMW didn't learn from that abomination, cursed, down-syndrome plagued 6 series.

Mmmmm, 135 M is certainly tasty. But I find it kinda hard to justify the price hike over a normal 135i.

They should put a V8 in it that would be insane!!

Nice, can't wait to see it. I will save the money and get a 135i with Dinan Software upgrade. This should be called a 135is instead with the minimal power increase over the standard 135i. Exciting nontheless.

ME WANT. NAO!

i'd say if it comes with solid lifters and a real LSD,
it'll be worthy of its '///M' badge :thumbsup:

from what i can see, it's reusing a lot of parts from the e9x M3
including steering wheel, seats, LSD and brakes
i do hope it's lighter than a 135i..

we all know that there will be an M version of this car..

the 135i was awesome as it is.. man this M will be a beast

I would not mind having one

Ooh the tease! :drool

why did it took them so long to get the M version? hasn't the chassis been around for 4 years now?
