If so it will become the ultimate road course crusher! What would top it?

Some weeks ago, BMW promised that you could "be the first to drive this car". Now this dream becomes true for 12 BMW M fans. Weeks before the official presentation of the BMW 1 Series M Coupé, they have the chance to test-drive the car and see it completely unveiled.

Hmmm, a new style fender vent. I hope it's not a Ford Focus copy.

Jon Sibal's interview with BMW
JS: Will the new Performance Programme be handled by the M Division or would that be a separate division on it’s own? BMW: When the car was being conceived we sat down and discussed what could be done to extend the appeal of the car. Dr Segler came from MINI so we thought about MINI-ising the 1M in terms of what is available for the enthusiast in terms of scope. The ideas were put forward but the budget made this impossible for this generation. But what we have will be carried over to the next generation because there will be more time and more money to do so. JS: Is there a possibility of a “CSL” type version of the E82 1M Coupe at the end of its life cycle? BMW: Anything is possible, we have ideas and the creativity to expand. In the end it all comes down to the reception of the car. 1M is more personal than any other M car. It has to be more upfront with the customer because it is developed entirely for the customer who want something pure. As it stands E82 production will be online till summer 2012, 1M will finish around the Spring, We have Cabrio production lasting till late 2012 in which they have produced a Cabrio model. We have a Cabrio unofficially. Reaction to the Coupe will determine the Cabrio’s existence as will the GTS/CSL type car. ** In light of these interesting information I decided to create my final speculative rendering of the BMW 1M Coupe, but this time in Alpine white and with the special Motorsport color graphics.  The graphics were inspired by the classic 1975 3.0 CSL and of course the 1973 BMW 2002 Turbo, but with a modern twist as how it might be applied to the E82 1M Coupe. If BMW does produce a limited edition 1M Coupe, I imagine the similar treatment they did with the GTS with lots of track oriented performance upgrades. With the second generation 1M Coupe speculated to be released in 2014, I doubt that a special edition of the E82 1M Coupe will ever see the light of day. If anything, we’ll most likely see it happening on the second gen model with a longer term production. But either way, US will probably be left out again. My BMW source went on to say that the 1M Coupe has proven itself to the Cayman S and Audi TTRS within internal testing. And he ended his email by saying the the MINI Coupe is being bench marked as a sort of 1M for the MINI brand. BMW will lift the embargo on the press pictures of the BMW 1M Coupe on December 12th. It will make it’s North American debut at the 2011 NAIAS in Detroit in January. Expect to see the 1M Coupes at the US BMW dealerships by Summer.
