I love how the 1M channels both the 2002 Turbo and the E30 M3. The 1M is so F'in good!

Timeline wise the 2002 turbo is the grandfather of every sporty Bmw. Bmw loves to promote the 2002 or e30 as a 'spiritual' forefather to the 135i, 1m and m2 but as someone who owns both 2002's and e82's, they are many worlds apart.

I never got it either. Aside from the natural chronology of the models I see no direct link or 'channelling' going on. I think its just BMW attempting to invoke some kind of historical aura around the 1M when it stood alone on its own just fine.
