+1 I HATE the new Z4 naming system--you have to almost know another language to figure the stupid thing out.

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.
