I will place my bet on the name M135i or M135
Re-read what I said, both the models that have reused the GTO name are not the base model, the 288GTO was the forerunner to the F40, or in other words the peak of Ferrari technology at the time and the 599GTO is currently their most expensive model.

I am a big fan of short and sweet. I loved it when a 325i was really a 3 series car with a 2.5 liter, fuel injected inline 6. Very easy to understand, very simple...

M1, 1M, M Coupe would all work. Anything with 135 in the name is just retarded--because this car is CLEARLY not going to be a 135. It will be very different, distinct, and special, and should be named accordingly.
You must be total pissed off with BMW in recent years, what with their misleading number system they have been using.
