We can expect this new 1M to be what we already can get with few modifications on the 135i chassis, but the base for modifications might be better (eg: the wide body and lot of room in arches).
Now, there are lot of other areas where BMW can make a real diffenence, and that would be very hard and/or expensive to replicate. Wait and see!

I believe Scott also mentioned the steering, and look at those freaken brakes. They FILL 19" wheels.
It the car is priced mid fourties, it would be MUCH cheaper than doing all that stuff to a 135i.
