Having owned several M cars in the past I can say the seats depicted here in the pic are indeed M seats.

it WILL be an M. I was at M in Munich last October and witnessed it at the source.
Good eye on spotting the M Seats! Can't wait to get my hands on one of these! -DK |

Like I've mentionned earlier the needles are red so does the E53 X5 in their 4.6 4.8IS version they had the moving redline along with the red needles...however these cars we're not Real ///M so this car could still be a 135is......

You make a valid point but can you explain the M3 seats? I still say not a chance in hell its a 135iS. For one, Scott says an M is definitely in the name even though they didnt bite the bullet name-wise. Two, the iS cars they released recently dont have red needles. Would they break from such recent uniformity? I dont think so. That makes the X5 4.8is almost an apples to oranges comparison. One could say that BMW ditched the red needles for iS cars. |

Def the same steering wheel found in an M3 . I just test drove one 2 weeks ago and if you look close in the pic you can see the same blue and orange stitching on the inside of the wheel ...

So much of the M3 will transfer to the M1/M Turbo from the M3 that it will be cost effective and quick too. Also when the 1 series first came out the world was not in a reccession. There was a weak reason for an M1/M turbo as it could have hurt M3 sales. BMW now wants an affordable M due to reccesion and to build M brand loyalty. Toyota sells Scions to the young, so they can sell Toyotas to the middle age, to sell them a Lexus if they do well. Same sell up strategy here. These mules, which have all M modifications, not performance parts, are far more M than "is". Many think the lack of quads proves this is not an M. The reason you may not be seeing quads is that BMW will have to use a new floor pan in the trunk to make them fit. They had to do this on the e46 M3 also. The tooling may not be done for that yet. We still do not know, but I see more evidence and a better business case for this to be an "M" . |

I CANT WAIT for this car to come out and people to stop talking.
I really cannot fathom how BMW is going to squeeze this car in performance-wise between the 135i and the M3. Think it will have 335is performance, even that may put it on par with the M3.

By the way, who was able to get interiour pics of this "M1"? If he was so close to it he could get a pic of rev counter to see where the redline is, at 7K or 8K? And, yes the M1 has M3 seats, but I want lighter seats than these. At least BMW Performance seats in M style stiching and M logo. |
