Garage List
Here is Scott's list:

* More muscular appearance than standard 1-series
* Trapezoid grille flanked by two intakes to allow extra brake cooling
* Six piston brakes
* High performance intercooler
* Sportier looking headlights than standard 1-series
* Small lip spoilers above brake duct inlets to provide extra air flow and downforce
* The front wings of the car are massaged slightly to accomodate the wider track. Rear end is also wider.
* Standard 18" 5-spoke wheels with optional 18" Competition wheels (18" will be the optimium wheel size for the M1)
* Signature M side vent
* Broader wheel arches to accomodate larger track
* "Ducktail" CSL style rear trunk (integrated spoiler)
* Rear valance/diffuser area takes its direction from the standard 135i but with open ducts for aerodynamic purpose
* Signature M quad exhaust pipes
* Reinforced carbon fiber roof

I'm assuming the 5 spoke wheel is the one from the Standard 135i, and the competition would be the famous CSL multispoke

The test mule wheels look like 359M wheels that are available on the M3 as part of the Competition Pkg. ..but I believe those are 19's.

Scott called them 18" Competition wheels. Maybe 18" 359M's??

Hopefully the demand will make them squeeze another year out of it.
There were no plans for an M version of the current E82/88 1 series, but thanks to the new BMW M CEO. Dr. Segler had different plans, he wanted to offer BMW M enthusiasts and potentail customers an affordable entry level M car and pushed for it to be produced within the E82/88 production cycle. Production will strat from Mar/Apr 2011 until the end of 2012. Maybe that's why they will only produce around 2,500 cars world wide?

They are testing both now, the 6-Speed manual and the 7-Speed DCT, but they "might" only offer it in 6-Speed. Nothing is confirmed or official yet. My source could be wrong though! Hope Scott can clarify all of this?

I remember now. Scott said something about a "sportier Headlight"
Actually what I said was that the additional sculpture underneath the headlights and the reprofiling of the front bumper to accomodate the changes for the aerodynamics package adds a more dynamic look to the front of the car.

As I said previously M cars test in phases , again here you are looking at the next phase , though still there are details still missing and not relevant to the testing programme yet .
That day is still to come...

I seriously doubt they would rehash an old design for the M1.

The video where the guy stalls the M1 in the parking lot is clearly a DCT. Look closely at his hands, they never reach down for the shift knob as the car shifts.

Exactly!! The headlight stays the same folks. Its the surroundings that give it a slightly different effect. Same deal happened with the M3.

Price?!

Based on the information below from BMW's website, I've created a ball park price for the new "M1"... -drumroll-.........

$43,980 (22% increase) - $45,780 (27% price increase)

Personally, I think this makes perfect sense. More than a 335i, since it is an "M", but 10k below the M3 price. Thoughts?!?


Below is the information I used to calculate the estimate price.

BMW 135i - 36,050
BMW "M1" - ??????

BMW 335i Sedan - 40,600
BMW M3 Sedan - 55,400
= 26.8% price increase


BMW 335i Coupe - 42,650
BMW M3 Coupe - 58,400
= 27% price increase

BMW 335i Convert - 51,200
BMW M3 Convert - 67,050
= 25.7% price increase

BMW 550i = 59,700
BMW M5 = 85,700
= 30.4% price increase

BMW 650i Coupe = 78,450
BMW M6 Coupe = 102,350
= 25.6% price increase

BMW 650i Convert = 85,550
BMW M6 Convert - 108,150
= 21.9% price increase

It is good that it gets a quad exhaust, but I think the debate of 135 vs. M1 shall continue, as it should.

WTF does that have to do with anything here???? Yes, M3 sedan is a great performance sedan, but it is also a porky pig with supple leather seats, so it is not a pure performance car....
Sorry man, my douchie roommate jumped on my computer and posted that. He has a M3 so he thought you were bashing BMW. No idea why. I need to lock my Mac more often!

Maybe it will be called the 'M' instead of M1. I know probably not, just wanted to throw it out there.

isn't the 1-series been out for a good while now? BMW should update the styling first before they bring the M1 out for the market. it already took them a long time to build it. i'd hate the current style only last a year or 2 max.

The first model year for the coupe is 2008. It is now 2010. I dont see a problem. The M1/1M will differ enough once all the tape is off.

I made a quick picture to show where I think the pipes go:
