BMW to unleash 350bhp M1...

There is no way on this planet they will call this car the M1.

In fact, if they do, I will felate your dads. (all of them)
 
That article says a 0-60 time of something like 5.3 seconds, seems pretty slow for an M car, considering the 135i does it in like 5.5 seconds doesn't it :confused:

I swear I read an article somewhere that the 135i was tested by some magazines and actually did 0-60 in under 5 seconds...

edit - Here it is http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/car/08q1/2008_bmw_135i-short_take_road_test

I absolutely hate Autocar, and never believe what they say, but I'm sure it will be a special vehicle and worth it over a 135i

Why are fast cars always "unleashed". Is this new car the product of a complex 1 series breeding program?

Vauxhall set to "unleash" new 0.7l 3cyl derv Corsa :eek:

..unless it was something else?

Yeah, I've seen videos of apparently standard 335i's do 0-62 quicker than the BMW times, all depends on the car, conditions and driver really.

I can't see them adding an M model that's not really that much quicker than a model thats already selling poorly.

Quoted for the truth!

They have already built an M1... 450 of them roughly

Here is one of two I am working on this very week. :D

Can't wait to get it started... Apparently I will have a sex wee over the sound...

Will try to get some footage if I'm not busy on the laptop trying to keep it running
 
i just realised you changed your name a while back, i thought you were a lurker :p
point still stands, you should post pics more often ;)

cheers for the link, must be quite a dull job..
 
Saw a number of M1s racing in the historic event at the Le Mans series at Silverstone last year.

You will indeed have a sex wee, absolutely epic sounding cars.
 
Seems far too much money to me for a 1 series, regardless of the power output. But then I also think new 135is are too expensive for what they are.
 
Never disliked the 1 series. 350 ponies through the back wheels is going to make it a dangerous weapon :D

1500kg though :eek:
 
Nah, not seeing it myself. Quick I'm sure, fun too probably but I want to see a big M on the lump and they can take the turbo off it too and raise the rev limit to 8000rpm when they are at it. I know, times change, but I feel it's just moving more towards RS Audi than M BMW and that is BAD. BUT, let's have a go and then give an informed view but sum of the parts makes me not want.
 
Not all RS Audi though surely, the RS5 is an untouched V8 with an 8250rpm redline! Sounds sweet too.

IMO a far prettier (in the most manly meaty way possible) car than any recent ///M coupe.
