The 1M's looks do not disappoint!

I hope someday I will get to own one...

^

That's correct, no DCT.

You'll either have to drive a manual, or learn.

This is the video that BMW should have shown instead of the covered crap that they were pulling all these months... now we are talking, dammit.

Good damn job, BMW.

I'm impressed! I really like the revised headlights.. and this car comes with a tuned N54 with better cooling and don't forget most importantly LSD and of course wide fenders!! so sick!

Is it time for me to say goodbye to my E46 M3?

looks sick as is but i'd like to see with just eye lids on

BMWDAD · 12-08-2010, 06:22 PM

I have plane tickets/hotel to Detriot for the North American Auto Show.

Unfortunate the exhaust looks like an after-thought. Could have integrated the pipes better into the rear valence. Also the flairs above the pipes look way out of place.

///M3 CSL · 12-08-2010, 06:36 PM

So where are detailed specs?

Nice car

Cameraeye · 12-08-2010, 06:41 PM

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go BMW!!!!!!!!

luis@ossdesigns · 12-08-2010, 06:46 PM

I can already see everyone and their grandmothers cutting the finder vent out...LOL sick headlights love the look of the car a lot...looks pretty menacing

NiVeDh · 12-08-2010, 06:46 PM

I like it! Looks better than I thought. Just replace the chrome grills with gloss black (to match the shadowline) and that should take care of the exterior.

Pirat is german for Pirate. The rum was named for a pirate too. They didnt name a car after rum

I would have gone for optional CF roof rather than alcantara dash.

tlav17 · 12-08-2010, 06:53 PM

looks amazing!! now I can't wait to see the actual specs

Liking it. Where do I sign?

LOL.. the vents aren't nearly as big as an X5/X6M but they are definitely reminiscent of them.. so yes... the squashed look.. lol.

LOL.. Truth.

To an earlier comment, my only reservation is that BMW uses the goodies in this car in the next 1 series, which given the direction BMW is going with styling, will IMO look better (ie, more classic BMW) than the current 1. An example of this is how Ford put the GT500KR stuff into the next gen regular GT500.

Granted, this thing has M3 components, so perhaps the parts are too premium in price to trickle down to regular 1er, but . . .

Nikki · 12-08-2010, 07:39 PM

Love it!!!!! The video is awesome!

To make the car with a CF roof, it would have had to be crash tested again (at least for the U.S.) as no other 1 series model incorporates that roof. Not really something that can be done for a niche vehicle.

amdmaxx · 12-08-2010, 07:55 PM

This will also be a 2011 Super-bowl commercial.

Don't they have to crash test it anyways with the new front fascia and wider rear quarter panels?
