With a $46,000 price tag, that means it will likely be coming to Canada with a $58,000 price tag (based on how other cars are priced) and that is a $15,000 premium for 29hp, an LSD and 70lbs of weight reduction.
I just don't get it... this could have been great, but trying to keep it down below the M3 has turned it into a bit of a dud. Unless it does magical things on the track when C&D or R&T gets their hands on it for testing, I am out.

Considering the fact that the 1M is 9000$ USD over the 135i i would price it around 52000-53000 cdn $. However I totally agree with the rest of what you said. This car was suppose to be in the mid 300hp range 350 at least and now they bring us something with 335 especially when the performance package on the 135i bring it to 326hp. Also dinan make 384 hp of the n54 without no other modification than the ecu and it is still covered under the bmw warranty. What's missing : New and unique engine for the car in the mid 300hp and a cf roof to justify that price tag especially when we know that most of the part were already existing on other bmw products.
