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

[jpark]

[Greenstoner]

whats with the ugly graphic on the car

[Onassis]

It's a teaser

[gilly]

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

[donjalapeno]

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

[SumAznGuy]

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.

[freakshow]

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

[Onassis]

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

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.

[rawr]

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

[red_2]

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

[Dinan3]

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.

[death_blossom]

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..

[FerrariEnzo]

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

[TRD Rs200]

I would not mind having one

[124Y]

Ooh the tease! :drool

[twitchyzero]

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

[TomBox_N]

^Boost sales of an aging model. Then next year, BAM, re-designed 1-series

Chassis parts are almost all taken directly from the current M3, apparently. Designed in mind to rival the E46 M3 as a baseline for performance, with the minimalism of the original E30/E36 M3's (i.e. comes in 6-spd only)

BMW M3 (E92, coupe, 6-speed manual)
- 414 HP @ 8,300 RPM
- 295 LB-FT @ 3,900 RPM (that's torque, in case you still don't "give a fuck")
- Weight: 3,704 lbs.
- 0-60 in 4.4 seconds

BMW 135i (N54 engine, 6-speed manual)
- 300 HP @ 5,800 RPM
- 300 LB-FT @ 1,400 RPM :eek:
- Weight: 3,372 lbs.
- 0-60 in 4.7 seconds

[synchrocone]

BMW could very well be losin it. At least in terms of what the M-sport designation should stand for.

In conjunction with a new CEO, it is rumored the new M5 will also be turbo-
charged. I would agree that it should represent high revving, lightweight engines.

All in all, thank goodness this aint no M1.

Crossing fingers for what the new civic after 6 years(!) might look like..

@Maxx

Ok, you might have me on your fail just as it looks like the 1-series M has not depreciated, if at all. Can you elaborate on why you failed me?

[xXSupa]

It's been 4 years and you're still bothered by 1 fail?

Damn son.

[J89]

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL holyfuck hahahahahhaa

[CharlieH]

i know we're not supposed to use this word, but can i go ahead anyways and just say that...

synchrocone is a faggot.

Damn son.

Not really. Just here to talk cars. I dedicated a big part of life to my M3 so thought I'd share some information and have an opinion. I guess that makes me a faggot. Its been well over ten years of this 1-series platform. Sure'd like to see a new one!

[Gucci Mane]

they arent going to make one. they have the m235i and thats all you get for now.

Haven't seen one on the road yet.

Just wanted to add that one was really was influenced by MotorTrend's best writer as I too wanted to see stratospheric-like redline on this puppy.

Well, the best buy of the decade?

BMW has clearly said that they are making an M2. Its been spotted in its final testing stages already.
