It's finally official, they're making an M-version of the 1 series. "You will have goose pimples!"

Oh good lord. Why don't I live in the suburbs???

That will be a really fun car to drive and it looks significantly better then the standard 1-series.

I wonder how much HP and the cost?

 

[TylerDurden]

Makes me think of the E30 BMW...... Because of the size..... Good, I thought BMW's were getting to big... Every year the 3 series got bigger and heavier......

I haven't been in a 1 series, is the same size as an E30 coupe or a 2002?

despite the fact that it is ugly as hell, who in the world should buy this car?

Whoa, slow down... BMW can still screw it up by including iDrive and electric leather seats to make it over 3300 pounds.

i would had cadillac not just released the CTS-V coupe. I'm also a HUGE fan or the old M coupe based on the Z3. that thing is ugly as homemade sin but SO awesome to drive that it makes up for it.


(Full disclosure, i also love bulldogs and have 2 boston terriers, so ugly is king in my book.)

A couple of my driving buddies have 1 series... A 128i, and a 135i...

Honestly, I don't know what the hell this thing will do to be a better driver then the 135i with M pack, and all the goodies...

Weight savings? ... I wish!
The only M car to be less weight then its standard counterparts is the M3 GTS...

I'm thinking this will have 330~ hp, 19" rims (as per hi res photos), a REAL LSD, and have a more aggressive stance...

Either way, I'm sure this will be a hell of a car!

 

[pscolari]

Have they ever released an lightweight since the E36 M3?

 

[DNW]

It's an ugly red headed stepchild, but I'll take a covertible.

Oh yeah, it's a midget.

i'm with you about the dynamics and driving experience. i just don't get this "sedan" approach.

the Z3 coupe needed to getting used to and it really grew on me. pretty cool
