So basically what we can imagine without pictures

They said this thing's pretty close

Looks exactly like I thought it would. I am a fan of this already.

IMO the 1 series needed the M treatment badly - I think they look goofy in 135/128 form

visually, much more appealing to enthusiasts. how much faster will it be?

Still looks goofy with those headlights. The biggest problem with the current 1 Series is the goofy headlight design, and that won't change until a full redesign.

i like it, it does look more muscular from the front.

I heard the 1er wasn't getting M treatment til next generation. Besides, we haven't seen any spy photos of it but we've already seen M5's racing around the ring..

There are tons of pics & spy vids of the next gen 1 series which will be on sale here in the states in 2012. This 1M is being created to warm things up before the next gen arrives. Sedan, coupe, vert, M, Z2 roadster..




A recent vid. Note the size of the F20 1 compared to the current 3 sedan in the vid.

^^Yes. This is not the M1 though.. This 1 series car will be called "1M" in the same breath as X5M, M roadster etc. Buckle your seat belt for more suprises from BMW..
