The M1 may come, but I am pretty sure a lightly modded 135i will do the job for me.

Now, if they bring out a little "Mini Z4" with the TT six....well, then all bets are off!
They will never be able to get as much power out of an NA inline 6 as they can with this turbo motor. Boost is better in all senses, other than longevity, but if you maintain low boost pressure they will last forever as well. Once you start pumping out a lot of pressure then reliability and longevity go down the drain.

I have to agree. Id rather have a 135 with M1 fenders, hood, etc than an NA M1, unless if they do something really crazy with it. I just noticed in the Roundel that the 335 beat the Z4 M coupe by 1 second at VIR. That is impressive in itself.
