Surely this will have the 7 speed DCT with all the BMW Performance Range goodies plus a few visual cues.... flared guards etc. I can't wait to see it!!

I wouldnt be surprised if this car comes with a turbo 4 banger. My lease will be ending right about the time this comes out too. Unfortunately, I doubt it will make it to the US shores.

That definitely looks like a M bred 1er. I hope it gets P GT3 Esque treatment. Meaning no back seats, bmw performance seats in the front standard, and alcantara heaven. That would be sexyyyyy

Interesting, but don't you think BMW is already working on the next 1 serie generation? In this case, this car would be a prototype to test new chassis and new engine for a potential futur 1M (with the new body).
Cheers.

Either or, there is now hope for a M for a 1er. I certainly like the idea of relaunching the M coupe name for the 1er M. Initial thought is that it would be an upgraded N54 engine, MDCT, non-RFT, upgraded suspension, exhaust and brakes, and of course the CF roof. But, if they have a turbo 4 already ready to go, and launching it in the Z4, there is no reason why they would not launch it in the 1er. There are still 2 years left of the current 1er, and for it to stay competitive against other makes, it really needs to have a M car there.
A triturbo that have boost up to 8000 rpm?

FYI: The N54 will be discontinued in the new 1/3 Series.
2012 will bring 4 cylinders to the US. The tri-turbo is most likely a Diesel.

The fun weight number to look at is in the seats and how much they can save there- it is amazing how heavy the power seats are. all the best, -M

wheels and seats are the 2 biggest (and easiest) weightsavers. (a lightweight battery as well, if you are willing to take the risk ) |

Let's give it a stab - The four cylinder crank is a single plane crank with cylinders 2 & 3 throw's being 180 degrees out of cylinders 1 & 4 throw's.
Firing Sequence is generally either 1-3-4-2 or 1-2-4-3. If it's the later then a small turbo is coupled to 1 &2 and another to 4 & 3. Output from those two turbos would provide boost quickly at low load/RPM. A third larger turbo (fed from the output of the two smaller turbos or fed by bypassing the two smaller turbos) would handle the higher RPM boost requirements. That's just my guess. However, if this is to be a high RPM motor (say 8K + RPM) then it probably won't be direct injected. And some fans of the HPFP are giving a sigh of relief with that factoid. ; -) |
