NONE whatsoever, because they would be risking a brand dilution, and a sales flop.

Well, from the information we have seen so far, there is no doubt that is how the 1er will debut... (123 in Canada), 128i and 135i (same as in the 3 series) but that will only exist till the ~350hp M1 shows up. Once that happens there will be no room for the 135i. See above for what I expect the line up to be then.
