Here it goes, I believe there WILL be an M1. They can do much better than a 135i. LSD like you've said and a lighter wait would be VERY important. Lets say the 135i rips to 60 in 4.8 out the box. An M1 would probably do 4.4 seconds.(M5 and M6 do about 4.3sec) Yes you chip your 135i, but the faster you make it the more modifications you will have to do.(Better brakes, suspension work, etc.)

You dont think BMW would put all there cards on the table with the 1 series this fast do you? Its competitors are going to respond to this car with something else. Thats why the M1 is so distant. The M1 would be perfect against the new EVO and STI.

Also, why do you think there will be an M3 CSL....my guess b/c there will be 2 Nissan GTR's for the U.S.

If an M1 is as badass as I think it will be, I will upgrade to one. It'll be like going from a Porsche 911 to a GT3. :biggrin:
