+1 that name and THAT car and THAT performance don't go together 5.5s 0-60 was done by a 200HP base Carrera 3.2 in the early 80s.

Bring this car on! I really like it. Although the name can't be M1. Maybe 135 M? Hmmmm

The article's numbers don't seem accurate to me. The 135i is already a very potent car, partially because the factory HP/TQ numbers are underrated. I'm expecting a sub 5.0 second 60MPH and sub 13.0 second 1/4 mile. Even if BMW M only produces this car with ~ 350 HP/320 TQ (a big if), actual numbers may very well be more like 400 HP and 360 TQ.
