As of now some say power output is too close not to want one but the other. There are other elements , however which is a different story.
Ohhh wait!!!!

So... let me get this straight:

The 1M will get a 340-ish N54 twin turbo six.

The new M3 will also be powered by the same engine as the new 1M engine - soon to be unveiled. Probably based off the N55 but with a larger turbo for more top end rev performance. ?

And the 2nd generation 1-er (F-22) will only get a turbo four!?!?!?

So... if you want a six you got to buy a M3? Whaaat!!!!


All the German car mags have been reporting that the top 1er models will still get RWD and turbo sixes. ie: 130i and 135i. Even though the "base models" will be FWD amd four and three cylinders!

So... Scott is saying that the top F22 mode(s) will be a four banger only? Sorry but thats a deal breaker for me on the F22!
