Awesome, can't wait.

Would be my guess, particularly since they have had a long time relationship with Dr. Kay from his work with MINI and MotoringFile.

im excited!

I am really very interested in this car and can't wait for the official announcement.

I currently have an E92 M3 with DCT which is a great car and I love it. I do a lot of track days in it and have great fun but it is very heavy.

I would love a lightweight ///M to replace it with.

Will the 1series get a minor facelift?

It surprises me that you have that kind of information.In Belgium in the official BMW network, in which i work, they have almost no information concerning quota etc. . I think there will be more for us Benelux

Let's hope so, but this what I heard........

A few questions :
How many of them do we need en Belgium ? How many 135's have been sold over here ? 5 ? Should the M1 be an alternative for M3 owners ?
I expect that a well equiped M1 will easily reach 70.000€ + 5.000€ BIV (taxes). Correct me if I'm wrong.

Price in Belgium will be 51k - 52k € ( source BMW Belux - confirmed ) So you will have a nice equiped 1M for let us say 60k when you take navi professionel, leather, sound system and a few more goodies. Minus 7% reduction you will have a well equiped 1M for let us say 55k-56k €.

Pol · 10-27-2010, 08:45 AM

This will probably be the price without taxes (BTW-TVA) and BIV ?

Would one of you fine Belgians feel like sending a few bottles of Westvleteren to the US?

Aha, a man who knows what quality is! It surprises me that you know Westvleteren in the USA! It is indeed the best beer in the world and not Carlsberg

Difficult to buy because of the long waiting lists and the very low production capacity ( it is still completely artisanal ).
Cheers mate

Thanks, I used to work in Germany, and have brewed my own beer for years, so I used to sneak off to Belgium on weekends and really miss being able to get some of the better Trappist beers. Distribution in the US, even on some of the more common Trappist beers like Rochefort, Westmalle and Orval is spotty, and Achelse Kluis and of course, Westvleteren are impossible to track down.

It's nearly time to replace my ten year old M Coupe, so Euro Delivery and a trip through Belgium is called for! Cheers.

M3Power79 · 10-28-2010, 03:37 AM
