Didn't say they would - However it looks like the car will get eyebags. Eyebags will change how the cars looks dramatically.

If its an issue they'll just move the battery "inside" of the trunk like they did when moving from the Z4 to the Z4m.

Makes the trunk a little less useful, but it didn't stop people from buying the z4m. *shrug*

what's the possibility of shoving the current m3 V8 into the 1?

What does SCOTT stands for? It's always SCOTTXX. Any german speaker here? Sales customer operation technical team?

[treehacker]

Its just a name. SCOTT doesn't mean anything in german. Its also not a german abreviation.

If you look hard enough, I believe on http://www.**************.com/bmw, you will find what S-C-O-T-T stands for.

Does it look like the quads are still camoflaged in Scott's avatar from the images you have or is that black band how the lower half will look in production?

You can't really tell one way or another from that picture. I don't consider anything final until I see the press release pictures.

use your heads, this is definitely gonna be the new ///M Coupe.
It makes perfect sense, as the old ///M Coupe (Z4M) is no longer in production and instead a Z5 3.5is.
The new ///M Coupe and hopefully ///M Roadster will be based off the current 1 series.
Expect more hp, more torque, more muscular styling, an ///M limited slip diff, ///M Suspension, and bigger brakes. Oh wait, all of that has been discovered to be on these test mules.

I hate to say it but I called the name months ago.
WOO!

I don't think anyone was entirely right.

My guessed was 1 series M with just a ///M signature.
There was 1///M
and there was ///M coupe

well.. it is actually 1 series M Coupe with a signature of 1///M - that's actually awesome!
