that's right. i saw my first 1-series in Germany in hatchback form back in 2005. the front end, headlights are the same as our coupe here in the states. that's what made me think it's been out for a long time. but man, if they introduce it in 2012, i still hope it'll have a somewhat facelift on it... |

As for power, Im not so sure if BMW will be able to push over 340HP with a single turbo I4... but we will see about the motor later.. and... the chassis is completely different also. The M1 WILL not run a 7:40... comon... be real. The e92 m3 only runs a 8.05, and it has already been stated that the M1 will not surpass the m3 in any performance category. And to say these two cars look the same i would have to strongly disagree. But with saying that, I think the M1 will be a great car, and i cannot wait for it to release. It will be tearing the competition up on the track for sure... Travis Last edited by werke-t; 05-10-2010 at 04:39 PM.. |

I have to disagree with you. The rear lights of the 1 series draws quite a strong resemblance to the E46.

I'm not sure that threatening to buy a more expensive (and no doubt more profitable) car from them is all that effective a protest.

For me it's not about the money, it's about the experience. The 1 series reminds me of the e46 M3.

No one is protesting, and BMW set the price on this gem before we even saw the first teaser.

Who said I would buy the M3 new? Plus, BMW does not want a repeat of the Z4M. They slashed prices on that car hardcore.

Good on ya, we heard you the tenth time already. It seems you are too lazy: Akrapovic Ti Evo Hard facts: plus 24 HP (at 4620 Rpm) plus 35 Nm (at 4890 Rpm) minus 23 kg (when compared with stock) e92 330i pipe Rear silencer with exhaust flap 18 30 7 566 936 1 12.793 kg / 28.204 lb e92 m3 pipe Rear silencer 18 30 7 840 791 1 24.500 kg / 54.013 lb SHOCK HORROR, 12 kgs down low at the opposite end to a 200kg engine...Yeah, damn quads weigh TOO MUCH. You can keep your stock system and continue whinging, I'll be investing in Ti. |

Just a side comment
Why do they put like half camouflage? Like why not keep the ENTIRE car in camouflage till its released.. Why gradually strip it away....... |

Maybe BMW won't F this thing up after all. They just need to shoehorn a modified N55 with twin turbos pushing 380-400 bhp. I think I will stay with SGM color and opt for the 7 speed DCT. Needless to say a Dinan Boost upgrade will be a must!!!
So far so good BMW |
