Well you maybe correct about the actual engine they use of an M1. My point was the performance level. I don't think they are going to drop a 300+ hp engine in a car that will only be $33K. This will be too much of a price advantage to the 3.
Believe me I hope they do. The three and the five almost weigh the same, but for a hundred pounds. And the top engine in the five is not available in the three. So why would they want to make the top engine in the three available in the 1? The one is rumored (and I hope) to be significantly lighter than the three. Hopefully in the neighborhood of 300 lbs. If that is true the performance oriented driver will opt for a 1 everytime over a 3. The same can not be said of the 5, because performance oriented drivers can go for the 550.
That is why I said the M could have the TT. But you are right, it will be more likely to be a different engine altogether.
