I doubt its the M1 this time around. SCOTT said they aren't even done testing it yet and that aesthetics may change.

True, but why post that tease in the M1 thread?? It's definitely evil if it's not the M1.

Football disappointment over and no point dwelling on what could have been. So back to work...

We are currently shooting the BMW 1 Concept M on the volcanic island of Lanzarotte along with the new 6er.

The location is quite familiar within BMW as the E63 6er was shot here , as was the M3 and X6 and of course the BMW 135i.
We cannot get to LA until later this summer until some giant Robots finish their war in Chicago, so we can use sophisticated gyro cameras that track fast movement and high speed.

The new AutoBild has an exclusive feature on the BMW 1 Concept M in the latest issue along with a drive on the M3 GTS.

Take away "Concept" for the reveal.

From what he said it sounds like they need to use some of the cameras being used to film Transformers in Chicago.

Congrats on the M3! Let us know how you find it relative to the 135i.

jonsibal · 07-08-2010, 01:24 PM

I say crash the robot party with the 1M

TunedM2C · 07-08-2010, 01:45 PM

Not bad. I'm just glad it didn't end up as a long ass model designation.

jkp1187 · 07-08-2010, 01:54 PM

But Edmunds Inside Line swore it was going to be a tii....

No, they were adament about it being a 135is.

BForbes · 07-08-2010, 02:02 PM

Well, we all know what Edmunds can go do.

BMW 1M Coupe.

Robert · 07-08-2010, 02:09 PM

No no no the official name will be 1 "concept" M not 1M ;-)

The names are so close anyone not following development closely will have them mixed up. Guaranteed. Most people can't distinguish a 3 series from M3 think they will notice the difference between 1M and M1?
