It is our trunk floor\ battery tray: I'm not sure where they would move the battery to? And then there is our charcoal filter (Euro spec 1ers do not have this so we may not see it on the mule.): Layout from the bottom:

Check Real OEM for the E46 330 and M3. I have mentioned before that to get the quad muffler on the E46 M3 they made similar modifications. On Real OEM the picture is the same but use different part numbers and pricing. Both E46 non M cars and 1 series cars were designed for single exit exhaust and floor pan modicifation is almost unavoidable.

Exactly. I hope they do the same thing. Because if indeed they go for the wrap-around setup, I will be severely disappointed.

I realize that I wasn't as crystal clear as I could have been in my post, but I said that the next 1 series is due out next year and that BMW typically releases coupes up to a year later and M versions after that. As in next year the world will see F20 1's in the showrooms and then up to a year after that they will see coupe versions.

this is a somewhat naive question, but on an inline six cylinder engine, doesn't having 'true' dual exhausts (like the e36/8 M coupe) weigh more than a single exhaust that is larger diameter?
or is it basically a wash? i get it on a v6, a v8 or the v10, but on an inline engine, it seems to me to be not as critical given the packaging of intake and exhaust flow on the engine. |

The 335i and M3 are the same way. One muffler, 4 pipes right? The difference is that the E9X's have two seperate midpipes right?

As the owner of an E36/8, I can say that it's a full waste of materials, and it was one of the deciding factors for me to pick the E82 over an E92 and the silly, convoluted exhaust. |

We shouldn't forget though that the engine as used for the E82 M could have a different/updated turbo setup, so dual mid pipes could make sense. That being said, I only see one mid pipe in the spy pictures. Best regards, south

I'll voice the opinion that I don't care with how much hp the M1 will leave the factory. Really.
I DO care about the weight, suspension and brakes. It's just so easy to get 400+ crank hp from an N54 or N55, even the current, non M-tuned ones. |

I can't see why the M1 wouldn't have at least something close to 400hp, since the new M3 is going to go up as well.

Torque figures ?
I dont know for you guys but there is still no indication about the torque figures of the M1. It has been rumored to be around 310ft-lbs. According to this should we might expect higher redline with the M1? Otherwise if the +/-360ps are developped around 5800rpm like the N55 I guess that the figures should be around 350ft-lbs on a large rpm band. Also, should it deserve a Boost gauge?
