I thought that was an E30. Wow, how times have changed.

 

It feels like I've been seeing camo shots of this thing since the dawn of time. This thing needs to be revealed already. As for the car, I just can't seem to get past it's looks. It just doesn't mean business like a M3. A little too 'cute' for me I think.

 

The will be limited in numbers and be order only.

This is true for down here anyway, might be different for you guys.

 

3300+ lbs is too chubby for what this car is trying to be.

 

At the Detroit show in mid-January.

 

Probably not going to happen, unfortunately. Given the low volume of production and the impeding end of this gen. of the 1 Series - it isn't in the cards. Also, M built this 1er as a means of getting back to a lower price point(back around the E46 M3's base price) to attract/maintain buyer and keep them within the M brand considering a 911 and a well optioned-M3 are now very close in price.

To make the vehicle more affordable it wasn't as heavily revised as, say, an 335i compared to an M3. So, they probably couldn't justify the development expense/ market segment of a 1 M-based CSL.

Too bad, a 3,000lbs 1 M would be a ridiculous little car.

 

That first picture is giving me ideas

 

This little car should come in at 2900 lbs . . . max.

 

It should come out before the new 1ser imho

 

As nice as this should be, I'd still rather have the e30
