He did say it. He stated that they would be slightly shorter due to the short fender tho.

Thank you!

Because the rear wings of the car appear more muscular due to the width of the rear track . The designers incorporated the rear vents similar in appearance to what is featured on the X5 and X6 M models to help break up the heaviness of the rear bumper which made the car look too bulky at the rear.

I cant wait for this thing. Too bad I wont be the one rolling in it. I might be "convincing" my dad to get one for himself. Maybe hell stop taking my 135i out behind my back if he does.

You rock, ChrisK. So many good chops. I dont know what to use.

I don't know if Scott is a marketing person but whatever he's doing sure is working on me. A few weeks ago I wasn't too excited about the M1 (I'm more of a "I'll believe it when I see it" type person), but these little hints that he's been dropping the past few weeks have me all excited. Now I can't wait for the Geneva Auto Show

I'm trying my best to restrain myself. But I was just doing calculations an hour ago with my trade-in\payoff numbers lol.

He is awfully good at it--tells you just enough to get you drooling, but leaves a lot yet to be known, which is great for conversation and debate.

It is good to see that carbon fiber is becoming more common. It will be interesting to see the specifications of the engine and transmission.
