Well... now we know why the car was spotted in Spain last week! This looks to be the same (private) Spanish track/car club that was featured in Jeremey Clarkson's last DVD.
The new M looks great. So... Scott I am in Germany... can I sign up for that test drive? :P |

This is Pure BMW M. Not Truth in immitation. Through the 1M forums here it has become more or less more personal although I have done my best to amp up your anticipation for such a car but unfortunately not reveal everything in relation to the car, it is the public through the internet , especially 1 addicts who have led the charge for such a car especially in such a late stage for production in which the 1M is purely a turn around cost effective project. It was the demand and anticipation that finally suggested to the BMW board of management to go ahead with Dr Kay Segler's pet project and seal the deal. Anyone out there Still think it is a 135iS? |

Can anyone tell if they are 18" or 19" wheels on the car. I can't read the numbers on the tyres. They look like 19's to me.

I for one thank you Scott for sharing this with us. As of right now I'm leaning towards an M3 sedan for the practicality but I must say after watching the video I am very curious to see what this 1M will do.

I know the time may not be here yet but to get us really excited we need numbers, facts, comparison. Even very abstract kind works: like x amount of aluminum components used, hours spent on re-engineering the e81 for M, y amount of carbon fiber, reflex time of the new transmission, x% lighter than 135i, etc. figures we can chew on and discuss. Otherwise I guess we really have to take it on blind faith its going to be awesome and convo will end quite quickly |

This car looks MUCH better than the 135i!
The wider fenders, and fascia really give the shrunken body style the attitude it needs. My guess is that this will handle better than an e92 m3, but it will be de-tuned so that it doesn't perform quite as well. There's no way that BMW would make the 1 series faster than their flag ship sports coupe. This is why MBZ never offered the supercharged v8 in their SLK55, and have yet to put the 6.3 in it. |
