Ok, then don't drive it. But opinion based solely on conjecture is frequently also known as horseshit. Mine was a bit stronger stock, but it was also an early build, so . |

That is what the N54 in the 135 is rated at, but there have been a few dyno tests on stock vehicles showing the whp to be between 280-290. It's not uncommon for BMW or other manufacturers for that matter to underrate their engines.

Remember there are lots of variables to that. I could quote Mustang Dyno numbers and it would be a lot lower, around 240whp. My point is, I want more power, and there is nothing wrong with that. Looks like I will have to turn to the aftermarket. No doubt it will drive great stock. |

Opinion based solely on conjecture? No, it's based on my history driving vehicles, my technical knowledge and the data presented so far..... You are telling me that if they said it was going to make 100HP and weigh the same that you wouldn't assume it to be slow? Running 13s and 12s in the 1/4 mile @ around 110MPH isn't fast, in my opinion. And no, that doesn't mean I only care about 1/4 time and trap speed, or that I expected the 1M to be a "drag car". |

So is the whole dash alcantara or is it just the gauge hood? In the shot where it shows the assembly line robot placing the dash in the car, the rest of the dash looks the same as the 135i.
Also, I dont see a CSL style trunk lid. Then again there arent many good shots of the trunk in the video. |

why are people so mad about the horsepower rating?
If you seriously don't like it, get a tune that is bound to come up. If the engine is upgraded(maybe better turbos), then getting 400+ with just tune itself is feasible

If this is true, I could pick one of these up and keep my ZHP as a daily driver...

Some German tuners have been lent the cannibalized 135i/1M mules for a look-see before they are crushed.

BALANCE on the street and for some on the track with looks and style and NOW the 1M with M3 suspension will no doubt be very exciting ride. My JB3 Map5 135 is plenty fast for me...In relation obviously a M3 or GTR are not fast enough for you either....Give me a refined balanced, fast well handling car like the 1M and i would be very happy doing 12.5 runs...but i do not track my car in quarter mile blasts... I REALLY DIG THE NEW 1M and will be test driving it asap and possibly even buying one.... |

He obviously doesn't track his car. BMWs are designed to quick around a track while providing high fun factor. If you want power; get a mustang. In my E46 M3 I have no need for extra power at the track.. it's more than enough.

The M3 is too expensive to get where I want. The 1M is perfect. Throw on CP-E's new port injection fuel rail and turbo kit and I will be right around mid 500whp on PUMP GAS! It will be VERY satisfying! |
