If my wish comes true, a naturally aspirated I-6.

I wish, iwishiwishiwish...unlikely to come true though

The 1er would be a cool final send-off for the S54...sadly, I think that died with the Z4M

[stylinexpat]

Pretty sick. If it looks like that I definitely want one..

[dmboone25]

This car will not be NA. It will definitely be FI.

[mixxer]

Thats just sick!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, but the rear wheels aren't wide enough. It looks like a square set up. Flare out the rear fenders more so we can put serious rubber on and you're getting there.

I thought it looked familiar. Too bad.

It could be possible that the different mules are testing different things. The sedona red mule looks to have a wider track than this, as you mentioned.

The black mule with the psychadelic markings on it may not have a track as wide because it might be testing different components--aka, the tweaked N55....

Remains to be seen, that's for sure....

Maybe SCOTT can weigh in and clarify?

[ChrisK]

The Sedona red mule has a rubber or plastic fender flare on it. The fenders on the black M1 that we current see looks like the final shape.

[ChrisK]

Did some basic mule picture comparisons in Illustrator, and I believe the REAR fender flare between both mules is "almost" identical.

[dmboone25]

Nice work Chris--I guess my theory is wrong.

I think the black rubber pieces on the Sedona mule made the think that the rear end was "wider" than it really appears to be.

Thanks for setting me straight.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to set you straight. I haven't a frickin clue what this thing is going to look like in the end

[treehacker]

Did you notice the very big size difference at the front fender?!?!
on the black it looks like the final version and it looks really really wiiiiddddeeeeee

[ChrisK]

The front is insane-wide!

No worries--I appreciate you looking into the direct comparison--I should have taken a closer look, as you did, and appreciate it nonetheless.

I would be forced to cover the M gills with sheet metal, but I could rock those front fenders, so I could run a square 275 setup. Wouldn't that be nuts?
