Isn't calendar 2011, (model year 2012), the final run for the e82 chassis? Meaning the e82 M1 would only have a 9 to 12 month sales window before the next 1 series hits the showrooms?
I hope I am wrong...but this is beginning to shake my confidence as to if we will see a production e82 M1.
However, it is making me think about opening up the wallet to mod my 135. Previously I was on-hold with modding, keeping those pennies for a potential M1.

The E82 chassis will more than likely not be retired till 2013. As the replacement 1er coupe and cab wont be released until then.
That gives the M1 a possible production run of 2 to 3 years. So very similar to the run of the E30 M3.
