When I look at the rendering now, the headlights arent the first thing to catch my eye - It's those ginormous fenders!!!!

Well I doubt anyone who buys an M over the standard variant cares too much about MPG. It's all about performance. And yes, I'm talking about both in a straight line and on the track. I'd expect the M1 to be on par, if not better in both areas considering it's a new model and the E92 M3 is really at the end of it's life. The M3 (E92) will be what, 4-5 years old by the time the M1 is produced?

It will be slightly slower than an M3 in the same way that an M3 is slower than an M6, the M3 is the more fun car to drive on tight roads and I bet the M1 will be even better in those conditions. |

Right. E46 M3's with 333hp stopped in 2006. The new 300hp n54 bad kid on the block hit the streets in 2007. So BMW did NOT overlap similar performance but lower price in one year. Last edited by jabwind51; 04-21-2010 at 03:49 PM.. |

Anybody that dosen't think the M1 will be quicker needs to examine the raw data of acceleration times between the two. BMW would really have to neuter this car to keep the M3 faster. It's biggest advantage against the 135i is when you get to 130-150ish. They're going with a stronger more tuned motor so they have no plans to play around.

If they build a true M1 it will be closer to the real spirit of teh M cars and will cannibalize the M3 i dont care about big V8s . A small compact powerful cars that can corner like no equal will be more appreciated

Actually I think he means what should be the "S55". N55 engine but tweaked by ///M to run twin turbo (as suggested by Scott26).

Personally, I don't care for the basic 1ers, they're alright but not quite there.
This M1 though... is amazing. It is the true successor to the E46 M3. Same thing there; I didn't really think the E46 was all that great. But the E46 M3 is one of my favorite cars ever. I want one now. |

I think this car looks pretty good, is the right size, will likely handle really well and just generally feel good, maybe better than the E46 M3.
But....im still on the fence when i think about the motor. Should i pass up the opportunity to get the last high revving engine from M? Or even an M coupe or another E46 M3?

Yea, I don't want to miss out on something great. For now, I'll just wait patiently.
