The M3 has gotten fatter with every generation...along with every BMW model...it should only make sense for BMW to make the 1er just as fast or even faster around a track and everything else.

I just have a hard time thinking BMW would outperform the M3 as well as undercut it's price, but I hope they do.

It will be faster than E46 M3.

Isn't the 135 faster compared to the E46? maybe not on track but straight line?

That makes sense given they state this will be the entry level car.

Cold weather testing of the M1

Crazy wide rear stance and awesome color choices - especially Technoviolet - will look sweet on this thing.

Remember that the Z3 and Z4 M cars were faster than the M3s so it wouldn't be such an odd thing for an M1 to also be faster.

For the love of God BMW please don't name this the M1.

I gotta wonder if they will also make a cabrio version. That would be one wild top down ride!

It isn't going to be an "M" is it? Front looks exactly like a 135i, so does the rear. The rear fenders seem to be more flaired, but I can't tell 100% on the fronts. Side mirrors look the same as well. Also, no M vents on the front quarter panel or quad exhaust.

Looks more like a M 3/8 and not quite an M1.
