Are there variations in regulations/specifications between European countries?

Well, you can forget all that. The new car is fitted with a turbocharged straight six. Turbocharging? In an M car? That’s like putting gravy on an ice cream. - Jeremy Clarkson, discussing the S65 and then S55 M3 engines. |

I agree with others here that I'd like to see a unified world or at least major markets standard for many of these business requirements. I would expect that would reduce costs/prices.

Orange stitching isn't a real problem for me (even in a blue car), but I think if they really want to have some colorful stitching, why not sticking with the M-colors as they did for the M3 streering wheel? :-)

This is excerpt from an email I got from BMW CCA Foundation today.
"As more information on this incredible machine becomes available, it looks as though this 1 will be a real winner. This is the latest information we have on the new 1 Series M Coupé: •336 hp/332 lb-ft biturbo 3.0 liter, 24v inline 6 •ZF 6 speed manual •245/35 ZR19 front, 265/35 ZR19 rear •Wider track (1.2"F, 1.6"R) and lower (0.4") •M Sport suspension setup with M Drive button •4-tip exhaust with fast heating catalyst •0-62 mph - 4.7 sec (est) •Est. fuel economy - 17/24 mpg (city/hwy) The suspension, steering and brakes have been engineered to make this 1 a true M, and word has it that the 1 series M is quicker around the Nurburgring than the stock E46 M3." If this is a repost...I apologize, but I haven't seen this here.

Does anyone know if the 6 speed transmission in the 1M is the unit from the M3 or the same as currently in the 135i? What are the differences? How about clutch and flywheel? Anyone know or have an idea?

I thought the rumors were M3 driveline. To me meaning 6-speed and LSD

I will be happy if they just used turbos that aren't TD03s and addressed any high-rpm torque issues. I believe there was improvement to be made to the head, and a more aggressive set of cams would be awesome.

In a way, I appreciate BMW revealing the M1 in the various stages of development (as opposed to doing secret camouflage testing and opting for an all-information release during a major auto show), but the more news comes along with time, the more anti-climactic (and perhaps disappointing given the built up expactations) the actual release is shaping to become.

I agree, it's more of a 135i Clubsport than what we've come to know as an ///M. But, still the most attractive car at its price for me. Unless I can find a CPO ///M3 that has been lovingly maintained for around $45.
