1M Hatchback Design

mPlasticDesign · 07-19-2011, 11:10 AM

What do you get when you cross an E36Z3 Mcoupe, a E82 Mcoupe and an E81/F20? I kinda envisioned something like the original Mcoupe but with 4seats. What do you guys think?

Very nice - I like it better than the coupe (but I'm still trying to buy a coupe since they're actually building those!) - nice work

Perhaps they'll try that as a 2012+ variant. I'd buy it.

Funny, I own an M Coupe and a 135i and need to replace the M Coupe with something that will carry kid seats. I can't for the life of me pick out the right car. You're on the right track.

Papethova · 07-19-2011, 12:02 PM

I Really Like It +1

Gtrain · 07-19-2011, 12:03 PM

Looks Great.

Satalite · 07-19-2011, 12:24 PM

Idk... I have never liked the F20 hatches, but on 1M body it looks good.

MikeinAlexandria · 07-19-2011, 12:39 PM

That would be neat. But, it definitely wont happen with the current 1M. I asked some BMW folks about exactly this kind of car, a 1 hatch with 1M motor and stuff. The dont think there would be enough of a market to build it, certainly not in the US. But, BMW once though that of the M3, and enthusiasts in the US got them to change thier minds.

I want more angles but that side profile is sick

OK. Updated with back view. You like the flared fenders?

C-dub · 07-19-2011, 02:15 PM

That is beautiful! Too bad BMW won't consider making these. Even if they did, there's zero chance it makes its way to the US.

crbalch · 07-19-2011, 02:21 PM

looks great man

bdaddylo · 07-19-2011, 02:35 PM

According to BMW, another 1M or 2M won't be available until 2015.

M3Newbie88 · 07-19-2011, 02:47 PM

Wow now that will stir up some competition out there if the car went into production.. looks great.. S3 and RS3 watch out lol..

YES!

I would buy that thing faster than I could drive to the dealership if they made it.

Too bad BMW is mostly out of touch with their customer base.

Want to do the front now?

OK. Here you go. The front is almost the same. Except I fixed the headlights which are a cross between the new 5series and X6. Also, used bigger more aggressive kidneys from an X5 but scaled down smaller.

BrokenVert · 07-19-2011, 03:12 PM

Drop the headlights an inch or 2 relative scale and it will be perfect.

I love it man. Spot on.

Focusedintntions · 07-19-2011, 03:55 PM

BMW should hire you as a designer to fix their ugly botches...way to go with that setup!

Sinister Crayon · 07-19-2011, 04:14 PM

I would SOOO buy this car in a heartbeat if BMW made it!

sparoz · 07-19-2011, 05:39 PM

looks great!

I would be the first in line : ]
