I suppose I'm a bit of a hypocrite as I don't mind them using M1, but think M Coupe would be wrong. I'd hope no one confuses a Z3 M Coupe for any version of the 1er, as I can ensure you which I'll always prefer. The new M Thingy might be interesting, but naming it the same thing as a very different car that's only three years out of production would be much more confusing than naming it the same thing as a boutique car thirty years out of production that most BMW buyers know of about as well as the Isetta.

Fair enough.
My dad has an 07 M Coupe and I don't really know how he would feel about that name sitting on the back of a 1er.
Something like 1M, M1, M coupe just makes sense to me--anything with 135 in it just seems stupid.
