I personally would be disappointed if they called it the M1. The original M1 was a mid-engined racing car built for the road. Some may even call it a supercar of its time. I don't think our little 1series right now can live up to the prestige of the M1 title.

I wouldn't mind it being called the 1M, however I would think that is too close to 3M tape, lol. 135M wouldn't be bad either. But honestly, the 1series shouldn't get the M1 badge. I think that title belongs to a supercar, if BMW decided to make one.
