actually i believe he said it was on the to-do list and this idealistically follows with what we are hearing recently of bmw design intentions. in fact i believe his contention has remained the same with regard to this "Z2"..
from this very forum.. Quote:
but please don't knock him, i want to hear what he (eventually) says about the notion of a M120 CS seeing production and especially seeing the US market or not. |

Quote from article: "However, BMW plans for the tii models to be proper performance cars in the longer run. For instance, the next-gen 1-series, dubbed F20 and due in late 2011, will offer a tii version with a downsized twin-turbo four-cylinder petrol engine and a radically lighter body and chassis, we hear." Scott26 are you still saying that list is incorrect and BMW is not going to follow the 7 year cycle for the 1-series. Because everything I have heard is an all-new 1-series is due in 2011. |

i would want to see an M version simply because there is no limited slip differential on the 1, and the sunroof is standard in the US.
lsd is understandable, but a standard sunroof is what is stopping me from ordering a 1 also i dont think it would cost $55k. that puts it way too close to the M3 |

I'd venture to say it'd be right around 50k. Which makes it no longer appealing to me. Personally, I don't race the car so I don't NEED a LSD. While the sunroof is pretty lame, I can deal with it. If nothing else I'm sure there will be a CF delete eventually.
Personally, I'm going to be content with my 135i as it's already a MUCH faster car than ANYONE needs on the street.

i dont know i just dont see the point of doing all of that, and succesfully justifying the inevitable price hike, with the same engine. unless its extremely limited production. and a really significant reduction in weight is seriously pricey without removing creature comforts.

But there will be a true M135i in the 1 series F20

"... on the smiles-per-mile charts, the 1-series M coupe can't be beat. It is a challenging piece, a triple-X-rated driver's machine for semi-professionals. Its handling balance provides an open invitation to indulge in latent oversteer, and provides an opportunity to separate the men from the boys. It is an absolute hoot on the track and an addictive plaything on your favorite twisty back road. "
