You can then go and add the navigation, dual-clutch transmission, 20 speakers, leather everything, sun-roof, full powered seats, etc. All of those options and amenities will add more than 200-300 additional pounds to the car. But it will be the daily driver car that you've been craving for. Not the 1M.

Whats wrong with having a 1M as a daily driver?

I doubt most options add that much weight. A person being over 200 lbs is more of a weight compromise in the car than most options.

I'm pretty sure most options end up being a few sensors and wires that hook up to iDrive. More things to go wrong? Sure. A lot more weight? Probably better off going on a diet than removing options to save weight.

starting around 47k sounds about right to me too.... now the reveal please!

I dont think that matters much in this case. Its not exactly a Corolla. Ironically, Merc E320's have a higher resale than E550's. The 550's even have a few things other than the more potent motor. Go figure.

One must think, at what point does them cutting weight cost more money for BMW. I'm of the belief that the M3 has the same adaptive xenon lighting as a normal 3. Same case with this 1er. Does BMW even have stationery xenons in production anymore? I would not think so. That part of the assembly would have to be retooled for such a tiny margin of cars. Its quite wasteful in the grand scheme of things.

It sure is, BMW is still a luxury brand even at entry level model like 1series. There is an handful enthusiast like us that doesn't care about options but more the feeling. We are still minority

Adjustable suspension?

By the way, a friend texted me. M Coupe is currently being revealed at the oktoberfest, at least picture he sent looked like that

EDIT: Pathetic picture.. and he said that was it.. almost similar to m-power video. Or he is messing with me. Hope he is at this point.

sparoz · 08-27-2010, 09:05 PM

It looks crazy... From looking at the zips - the mirror, the interior and driver's door, the side vents, and the rear diffuser would be shown before the full monty.

So, she's taken of her jacket showing her clevage, what's going to be next?

I spoke with my sales person the other day to ask about getting on some kind of list but as of now there isn't one.

as7920 · 08-27-2010, 09:19 PM

Certainly looks more orange than in the M-Power vid.

I feel ya brother! I placed my 135 order a year ago...took delivery in Jan after my tour in Iraq. Now I'm trying to figure out how I can convince my wife I need to trade in my 135 for this M Coupe. I did get a response of, "how much more would it cost?"...which means she's considering it! Hmmm...low miles 135 (about 5400 now)...lots of options...trade in for a low option 1M...hmmmm

Can anyone make out the tire sizes?

The front bumper, with that "edge" looks just like Sibal's version...
