It can’t be named M1

Text by Andreas Conradt/AUTOMEDIA

This is going to be the ultimate sports-hatch by packing an extra 50+ bhp over the current BMW 130 or VW Golf R32.
Munich would love to call the car M1, but that would take away the glory from the legendary late 1970’s M1 supercar,
so the range-topping 1-Series will have to do with a 135ti badge on the rear,
hinting to the sophisticated 3.0-litre turbo engine delivering no less than 306 bhp!
It’s just been presented in the 3-Series coupe and should be able to turn the 1-Series into a real cannon ball on wheels.
