Thought South's post would be a good one to sticky and update over time. Seems like we get so many new rumors and speculations regularly now, so it's sometimes hard to keep track of.

I'll believe it when I see it. Too many rumors at the moment to really tell if it's coming for sure. If it really comes, it would make for an awesome little car.

I realize everyone is frustrated at the persistent rumor-stage of this car (if it even exists), but let's keep the sarcastic / off-topic banter to the Off-Topic forum. This sticky thread exists for interested members to easily reference and for us to easily update with new information. If you don't have anything on-topic or constructive to add, simply move on.

Just wait until something pops up. A 135is seems unnecessary if it uses the N54 + overboost.

With that much details from Scott, it is either going to happen or BMW is playing with us. As we know Scott is official. If the M1 doesn't happen, I am going to buy a Porsche next :P.

Not much reactions in here it s the same on the GTS news on M-Power also not manny positiv reactions.
It s all marketing and nothing special happens. A brand as porsche see what kind of impact the 918 has. The say nothing in front but if they bring something it is really special. The whole enthusiasts automotive world talkes about the 918. |

Interesting discussion afterwards, but I don't think it actually answers the $64,000 question. Even if he knew it was coming, I don't think Mr. Plucinski would break the M story trackside on a webcast in his dockers.
PR guys at their core are most wary of what cannot be said. Granted, he didn't seem to leave the door open at all, but I don't think it means much given the context. |

New BMW "0" series to complete against the A1. Guess we can kiss the M1 good-bye!

Not sure I like to see a BMW badged FF. They better give it another brand. - Unless they can make it 50/50.

I spoke to my friend Erik Luchsinger "Aftersales manager for BMW NA." He told me the M1 has not been nixed. They really want to put out an ///M car that is more afforable than the M3. He said when and if it does happen we won't see anything until December 2010.
