Personally, I think BMW may have "plans" to build one, and I'm sure it comes up at all the corporate meetings, but from a marketing standpoint, I can almost 100% be certain nothing will be set in stone until a year after the release of the 135i...
They need to see how the US and the rest of the world respond to the car, the US market responds strangely to BMW's, and even though on paper the 135 is what everyone has been asking for, it doesn't mean it's going to sell well....
If the 1 series in the rest of the world tanks, I expect to see BMW hold off...
But if the 135i comes to america and is all the rage, whether it be the tuner world, racing crown, or old age pensioners, BMW will bite at an M1 hoping for most of the owners to upgrade....
