It's inferred from this statement here:
Not necessarily an N54, but a twin turbo inline six.

As in Porsche? BMW M3 GTS? Regardless, the first one is in another league as far as price and performance and the later isn't available in the US. So, no, they're going to be pissed.
Oh yeah, it's all coming back... you're one of them! I remember now. Get over it, it's the direction BMW is going, and in part because of new fuel standards. Start loving turbos or start shopping other makes. All cheekiness aside here, love your M3 CSL forever and never let it go.

Don't count on it stopping unless new technologies can drastically improve the mileage of powerful, high-rev NA engines.

Well this is certainly going to complicate things. I had always planned on keeping my 135 no matter what new car I get after it. But damn it I really want this car and I'll have a hard time justifying keeping the 135 and getting this. At this point the only reason I wouldn't jump on this is the fact that I've put so much into mods on my 135 that I would hate to sell it.
Ugh, at least I have some time before I have to make up my mind on this one.

This thing is going to be extremely tempting, but if Ford comes out with a Boss 302 and it's sub 3,400 lbs, I think it's going to be a better (and cheaper) move to make.

I also was one that said they would keep their 135 forever, but if my deployment schedule works out to where I can order this car while deployed, it may make good financial sense to buy an M1 while deployed. Especially if I can get it at near 135 prices with the discount. Time will tell, but this is shaping up nicely for me.

True as this may be, maybe the M1's engine will have 475-500 hidden ponies?
More importantly, will M1 owners be able to get the 'upgrades' that the future m3 will have? Anyone have tips on selling a car?
