I hope they make it visually and noticeably different than the 135 M-sport.

New fenders and rear quarter panel incorporating flared wheel arches. E82 in its current form looks too tall and stout, wider wheel base will help the driving dynamics as well.
Beautified hood and head lamp design. No DCT or Automatic offering. |

estoril blue has been reincarnated as Monte Carlo blue.
The motor in this will be based on the N55 from all accounts. Also worth noting is that the "iS" versions have overboost so they may have a blow off valve I would like this car to keep the widened CF flares as well as the CF roof- the LSD, bigger brakes and widened track are a given. At $45k your not getting carbon/ceramic brakes. I WANT cloth sport seats without power windows and lightened glass. Make this thing look like Frankenstein and give it a warranty!

Increased chassis torsional stiffness if possible, magneto-rheological dampers, M variable LSD, and a flatter torque curve that is maintained closer to redline.

I like most of the ideas, but let's face it, $40k for this car is a pipe dream. You want all these new things in the M1, you are going to have to pay for it. And I am perfectly ok with that.
Price wise, if it fits right in the middle between the current 135 and an M3, that will work just perfect. |

1) Manual
2) LSD 3) Get rid of run flats / RFTs 4) More standard features, like ipod and smartphone intergration (something similar to MyFords Sync). Everyone has those these days (iphone/blackberry/droid/palm/win mobile, etc) 5) keep the weight low 6) Forged lightweight wheels and I mean lightweight, not 25lb each. I like deep dish wheels 7) Option for ceramic brakes, if they become semi-affordable by then 8) keep it under $50k and stop nick and dime for every option out there. 9) Keep the amenities (for most of us this will be a daily driver and only car) 10) Lots of torque down low (this is a given known existing engine characteristics). underrate it @350hp/350 torque 11) Better quality control (no more HPFP issues, no rattling) 12) low unsprung weight (see 6), nice M suspension with Sport/Comfort modes, keep the center of gravity low (CF roof would be of help. 13) make it handle better than Cayman S 14) Keep the M tradition of quad exhausts.. or make a nice center exhaust 15) Sound system that would not sound like a tin can (take notes from Hyundai Genesis sound system). 16) Proper powerful AC and heating units 17) Elegant LED treatments Exotic/Optional requests: Bubble roof aka special edition of Cayman S is pure sex. Focused track version (limited production) Last edited by amdmaxx; 01-07-2010 at 08:19 PM.. |

-Carbon fiber roof
-CFRP hood and trunk -Lightweight battery -Lightweight 3" exhaust -Lightweight rims -Lightweight bucket seats -M suspension bits -Wider fenders -Mechanical LSD, torque vectoring would be nice -DCT -<3100lbs -360whp, tuned so it holds power to redline

Mid $40's sounds good for the coupe to me. Hard top vert would be awesome. Or at least a CF hardtop that can be put over the softtop in the winter like the old Z3(that wasn't CF though) Edit: BTW This is really going to hurt Z4 sales. It's currently starting between $46-51k and both cars are essentially coupes. I haven't tried to get in the back seat of a 1er but I can't imagine it's too comfortable for someone my size(6'4''). I know the Z4 is a true roadster but if your budget is $50K, I'd much rather a ///M car. But that's just me.

Build Your Own 135i Base MSRP $36,050 Sedona Red Metallic $550 Black Boston Leather $0 Gray Poplar Wood trim $0 Cold Weather Package $600 M Sport Package $1,300 Premium Package $3,400 Comfort Access keyless entry $500 Navigation system $2,100 iPod and USB adapter $400 Premium hi-fi system $875 Anti-theft alarm system $400 BMW Performance Short Shift Kit $576 Destination & Handling: $875 Total MSRP as Built $47,626 Add the auto-tranny and its gonna be a couple more bucks... Assuming that most sport options are included and that we can skip the electronic goodies, I could easily find my list of options incorporated on a M1 that could be had for around 50k. A storage shelf instead of rear seats wouldn't be expensive, mass production of carbon fiber bits isn't that expensive, sportier hard-back seats aren't that much more expensive... The gauges should be standard on all BMW turbo cars. Wider wheel arches don't cost anything (obviously increased cost for larger tires/wheels). Anyway, I don't think its unreasonable to think these options could be packaged into an "affordable" M1. |
