Hey - another Bergen county guy with the same opinion I have. That's why I have a 128. It screams at 5000 RPM+. It's like two different cars. Pushed hard - the car should be fast an engaging. I think most people just like that feeling of torque at low RPMs, but can never really get on it for a few gear shifts- unless you like going 120mph before you can say holy s**t on the Garden State Parkway. |

Zero cost options which would make me happy
1. 6MT 2. Imola Red! 3. NO gas guzzler penalty The costly stuff 1. About 375hp and at least 350 lb/ft (they are already at 330+ in other applications and you need some comfort distance to make the M1 special) 2. Wider track 3. More neutral handling (get rid of this crazy under-steer!) 4. CF anywhere you can to drop some weight. 5. Wider tires 6. It'll have to have an LSD if it's going to be an M I'll guess that it'll be $52k base. The M3 coupe is $58k and since the 135 and 335 coupes have a $6k gap, I wouldn't be surprised if it's exactly the same in M line. It also makes sense if you look at the $16k difference between a 335 coupe and an M3 couple. Add $16k to the 135 couple and you get $52k.

-A well balanced MID ENGINE M1, <----A must have
-6 speeds mtx dual clutch, -The hommage M1 was crazy, the exact car will be terrible! the rest is almost irrelevant as it will be built by Motorsport. Man, I hope they won't deceive me. |

Not sue if this has been already mentioned, don't feel like reading through 6 pages... On my way to work this morning I realized/remembered how much I dislike the throttle repsonse with regard to rev matching. Sometimes I have to literally shove my foot to the floor to get get the rpms where I want them. How about being able to blip the throttle? Maybe I just miss a high-strung N/A motor... Hope this can be fixed on a turbo car - the ///M1. Flywheel migt do the trick or fuel flow parameters in the software.
