There is absolutely no reason not to make the (M1) faster than the M3...at least faster until a 'new' M3 is out.

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.

It will be faster than E46 M3.

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

First spy shots of M1

Gut says this will be 135iS instead of ///M...

Crazy wide rear stance :yikes: 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.
