I too am wondering about how "available" this car will be, if indeed it is a limited production car....

My deposit is on the way to the dealer as of yesterday. Supposedly I am first in line there and got a decent deal on it. Anything under sticker seemed like a good deal to me.

Will the optional competition wheels be in 18 or 19 inch?

The car has potiential but the weight. If it s 1500kg also what s the point then.
The GTS M3 weight is 1530kg that s insane. |

The 1er's chassis is a porker...but this is already a known fact. If you expect this car to come in under 1500kg you will be disappointed.

Oh well, I'm still going to buy it (as long as the price isn't to high), but the personal items would've been very cool. Leif W. |

You would have to wait for the GTS - it sounds like it's going to be called the ///M2. Many thanks for Scotts info once again .

After seeing all of the renderings floating around, will the M1 still get the same M3 headlight eyebags as seen in this early rendering.

Same here. If it is going to be limited, maybe I'll have to consider trading my 135 for one.

I leased my 1er, and the lease is up next April (had one of the earlier ones here in the US)...so if the car doesn't make it here until "early summer" as SCOTT says, then I will have to find something to drive in in the interim...

BMWFS told me that they can extend your lease at the current lease price if you are going into another bimmer. Give them a call.

Thanks for the suggestion--I have heard this too, just wasn't sure how easy it was to get it done.

My guess is the HP is set not only not to encroach on the M3 but also so that they will be able to reach the same number with a turbo 4 in the next M1. Not sure if I will go for it at 350 hp unless I can get a few options and keep it under 50k.

With the specification released on the M3 GTS in time for the media test drives that will be commencing real soon. We will get the official announcement (but not the reveal) that there is a BMW 1er M on the horizon. The arrival of photographs indicating the quad pipes set up on the new car finally proves that this is an M car (yes it is an M car) , Interior shots of the new car show the M specific seats and instruments as well as an M steering wheel. As the summer gets on we should start to see more elements of the car come to light. As an example the current test cars are somewhat shorn of their cosmetic appendages as these are irrelevant to the testing programme as yet , towards late summer we should start seeing final cars in the FEP programme ahead of it's December launch.
The recent Jon Sibal rendering of the 1 series M shows the direction the car is heading. It is purely a "youth" project it is aimed at younger customers , it is also to show a future direction of M that has previously been forgotten. |
