Although 1 coupe was just introduced 2 years ago I can't see them continue to sell the coupe for another 4-5 years.

This is why I think it's not actually a car that's going to be produced. It's just too late in the model cycle for it to make sense, unless they're just planning on carrying it over into the next one (I think they did this with the M3 when the previous generation 3 Series was introduced?) for a couple of years.

Time will tell I guess, but I'm sceptical that we're actually looking an an M1 (or whatever it's going to be called).
