I can hear no more talk of a 1 series lineup absent a 3.0TT. Really, I mean it, man! This is really bumming me out. :wink:
Seriously, your make some good points, but I think there are enough people out there looking for a smaller car at a better price to support a full lineup. The M1 won't be a turbo; it'll be a "proper" M engine.
I agree that there are some marketing challenges, but BMW's marketing arm is more than capable of positioning the cars correctly. They have the opportunity to build a great bridge into BMW's for the wildly successful MINI brand and numerous other cars that are filling the gap left as the 3 series grew up. I'm still optimistic that a 135 is in the cards.
So please... Set aside all your silly logic and reasoning. Join us in a happy place where we can have a smaller, lighter car with great factory power and incredible tuning potential.
Mmmm... feels good:roundel:
