how do they even get people to show up for this bullsh1t.

"oh today we will show the fender, come back tomorrow and we will show the back right rim. This will go on for about 10 years, thank you."

bar none the stupidest unveiling ever. BMW is acting like they are about the unveil the new Eiffel Tower or Tej Mahal.

Its an entry level M car, get real.

Up until now, so was the M3....

Fer 1M/M2 will be the standard. M3 will be big and over weight. Pigs are good in bed, but not on the track.

Wonder if I could order a active-e hood for the 1 m, brings me closer to a modern day e46m3....hmm

ORIGIN M. · 12-09-2010, 03:16 AM

I think it will look good. I'm surprised it wasn't on it, like the X6M, and the X6 Active~Hybrid share the same hood.

I was thinking the same thing the realized for the price of that I could probably buy a carbon fiber hood and loose some weight and gain some cooling with hood vents. I actually thought they might share hoods between the 1M and ActiveE at one time, but they did not.

iCarbon makes some very nice carbon fiber parts for the 1 Series.

Truth serum......I would like to see IND come up with a CF roof for it like they have for the M3 sedan!!! That might seal the deal for me.

I am going to give you a clue.... The 1M powertrain is a Hybrid. And when I mean Hybrid do not think of the current meaning of "Hybrid" - ie Alternative power , Electricity etc.... and use the original meaning of hybrid. " When Two seperate entities become one".

Was that ever explained? Will those details come out this evening?
