M version Yes or No!!!

AdvEvo · 07-05-2007, 04:45 PM

Now that the 135i is official what s next. Or will the 135i be the so called top end model and we will not see any M model of the 1 series. Lot s magazines have been told from bmw no M model. Do we believe them?

Since the M3 is betting bigger and heavier with each generation I see a clear need for something a little more nifty but only if BMW can develop an M1 which is at least 175-250kg lighter than the M3, otherwise I don't see the point of an M1.

Since the M division is done with the M versions of all the current cars, they will need something to do (besides the M3 CSL and M6 CSL).

Exactly.

No X3, no X5, no M7, new Z4 M is far away, new M5 & M6 even further ...

X6 M anyone?

And ... M1?

And ... new Z8?

Ok but the 135i cost 38500 euro in germany.

With 306hp
6 pot brakes
nice 18 inch wheels.
etc etc.

few things missing wide wheel arches and M atmo engine rear LSD and light weight.

But will an M model sold a lot because most M will get a high pricetag.
If it s to expensive manny will go for the 135i which is a very good package too for the money.

I rather have an M version let that be clear

But i can see some people discussing at BMW and M at the moment. Yes or No

For me an M car is always far ahead from the rest of the regular line and here is the problem: How can they made a car that is trully superior to the 135i ?? I don't think this possible by putting a simply revised version of the S54 and i don't see BMW spending a huge amount of money on this car. So logically no M1.

They have plenty of work:

M6 CSL ---> still coming?

M3 CSL

X6 M V10

But those are all updates of existing engines....
I hope they'll start with a completely new high revving magnesium I6 too soon

Of course they're gonna make one. It's just a matter of when.
It terms of philosophy it is 100% in line with M school of thought, so from that angle they have no excuse. Is there a market for a pocket rocket? Will the sun rise up tomorrow?
The next 1 series M car as the potential of becoming legendary, at least in terms of performance. I just hope that BMW won't hold back!
But the question is: will it be called the M1?? I bet it's keeping some people at BMW up all night

They would be retarded if they didn't. It's not even a difficult one imo. M1 name fit's in the current lineup perfectly, and only 6 people still remember the old M1
