Sounds like the full press release and hi res pics will come tomorrow.

Wow gotta say that is one aggressive looking factory car! Now let's hear if it handles as aggressively as it looks

Since the 1 series came out, I've always liked it. Now it's even cooler.

Awesome car.

 

[josein06gli]

I like that more than M3

 

[BoardSnow6]

M1 just sounds more menacing than M3 or M5 lol

 

[dkwince]

pretty cool but i still wouldnt buy it because of the issues with the N54 motor.


oh and boardsnow..this is an M1.

just gotta say:

my friend just picked up a 2011 135i convertible, and it is fun as hell to drive. I now deplore my GTI in so many ways. DCT>DSG by fucking light years. Smooth as hell and doesn't have even close to the jerkiness DSG has. The N55 has a better feel to it than the N54 (and I learned to drive on a N54 335i, so I have a lotta experience with that engine). I know a lot of people have been downplaying the 1-series, saying that it's too heavy yadda yadda, but BMW just nailed the handling on this car IMO. Sure, I suppose it doesn't compare to a true handler like a Cayman, but then again I've never driven a Cayman so the 135i remains a pinnacle in my book lol. Also, the styling is growing on me. I really like how tidy and purposeful it looks. Low and wide always wins, even if it's a bit awkward.

I can't imagine what this 1-series M Coupe is like. If the 135i convertible is a joy to drive, the M version of the coupe has to be sublime. BMW <3

For the last few years, BMW has been the go-to-choice for:

80% -ass-hats.
16%-badge junkies with no joy for driving.
3%-badge junkies who like to drive.
1%-Car lovers who chose the BMW b/c it was the best for them.

But now a good amount of the ass-hats and badge junkies(with no driving interest) are going to Audi. Perfect timing because I like this car quite a lot.
