I'll throw some questions out. Some of these are probably too technical, but they might be useful...

What tires will it ship on? (hoping for Michelin Pilot Super Sport)
What RPM is peak power, what RPM is redline, and what's power at redline? (Wondering about power drop-off)
Weight and F/R balance?
Est MPG?
Fold-down rear seats?

A number of questions regarding design and tuning potential:
Have they done anything to make try and make tuning harder than the other x35i cars?
How was the power increase vs the 35is made? (extra boost, less restrictive exhaust, or?)
Turbos used?
Increased cooling?
Exhaust- number and placement of cats?
The torque rating of the transmission would be hard to come by but nice to know.
Any hardware changes they made from the 135i to increase strength, rigidity, etc?
Where did weight reduction vs the 135i come from?

For SCCA I'd like to know:
Is room for wider tires?
Is there adjustment room in the suspension for more camber?
Gear ratios?

Less technical- I'm curious why BMW left the 1M for so late in the product cycle but still decided to go forwards? Will they be making their usual profit with such a limited run?
What's the story behind getting the car made- who got it done and why?

Answers to any of these would be nice...
