End of the body shape of E82 I don't think will matter too much as we know previously the E46 M3 was still in production well into E90 and E92 life cycle.
Seriously, everyone's lease would be coming up when they introduce the M1. I think many 135i owners with their lease coming up will be happy to move to the M1, knowing that would be the last inline 6 that would ever be produced for a 1 series. While the 'is' version might not have get people to swap over.
Let's hope we see the M1 at Geneva  . Besides we know they have been spotted testing, so we know definitely it is in development. |
Well I was one of the early lessors of the 135--got mine in April of 2008...and my lease will be up in April of 2011....so, if the M1 is indeed here by then, there is no doubt in my mind that I will try and get into one....
Some of the speculation has the car getting here in the summer of 2011, so we will see.....
