They do have to hurry up, there's not much time left for the E82 platform.

And if I am to buy one, I need to test drive it first before putting in an ED order...
Makes sense... I bet that this M1 will replace just in time the E90 M3 in the pricing scheme of M cars, as I don't think the M1 will be cheaper than a 335is. Thus leaving the M1 for two years and the E92/93 M3 for one year in the M lineup before their respective replacements.

And to me, there's no way that this M1 will have just 15-30hp more than the 135is... I expect at least 370hp and 350lbs/400lbs of torque with the overboost trick.
