Silly as it may sound, Mobile Tradition is pretty hung up on maintaining the heritage of BMW and there was already an M1. To name another that has nothing in common whatsoever with its predecessor would be sacrilege by Mobile Tradition standards.

I see your logic, but times have changed. Corvettes had pop up lights for 40 years too. M3's have never had V8's. BMW never made mini-van type things or SUV.(That new F3 or whatever) When it boils down to it, its about making money and keeping up or staying above the competition. Japan has VERY fast econobox's such as the STI and EVO for a reasonable price. I say its about damn time Germany pumps out something that could compete, even if it is 3-4k more in cost.
