Let's try to speculate about other things - will the standard 5 double-spoke (teaser pic) be lighter than the optional (premium?) wheel? They're both 18" if I read Scott's comments correctly...

I was wondering the same thing. I would not imagine a weight difference. The premium probably looks a lot better.

Those are quite the big brakes. Interesting that they didn't show us the calipers. Does make for a teaser.

I just hope we get the chance to run Genuine BMW slot/crossed drilled rotors on the front AND the back.

Yes, but is that Pic of the real stuff, or is Scotty just illustrating a point?

The best thing to me about this picture is the obvious suspension drop--look how little space there is between wheel well and the tire!!!!

It looks to me like it could be the same car we have been seeing teaser shots of--notice the rubber added to the wheel well--this was to allow for the wider tires, right?

I'm hoping the premiums will be forged - on the M3, the 19" forged options are lighter than the standard 18". And only about a thousand bucks more expensive.

Just curious if anyone knows (or would like to speculate) whether the new ///M1 will borrow from the Tii or BMW Performance parts bin? I could see them using the steering wheel and interior trim pieces, or maybe the wheels as the 18" option.
What made me think of this was seeing that the 335is is using the BMW Performance wheels.

Here is a description of the 1M Coupe back in Feb. It seems most of these descriptions were correct. A few exceptions, like the car having 19" wheels vice 18s.

Yes that was when I saw the car as a full scale clay model in the M Design Studio. Unfortunately in some cases the designers vision has to be altered to suit the engineers needs. The side intake is one such idea as the initial intakes placed on the upper part of the wing were too small and inadequate.
The color of the car will remain exclusive to the 1M but it will also feature with the new BMW M6 in mid 2012, and we might add it to an end of the road M3 before it's demise. After the World Premiere I will show you every Avatar and every photo teased previously which show some of the early conception of the car. The car should be in Los Angeles later tonight or early in the morning , we will be shooting to Wednesday and then the car will be transported to New York and flown back to Munich by the weekend. |
