📰 Auto News REPORT: BMW M1 1-Series Coming With 350 HP

[Bru]

Yesssssss.

After throwing an M badge on all manner of crossovers and SUVs, BMW may finally bestow one upon the 1-series — creating the BMW M1 — a twin-turbo I6-powered 350 HP Bavarian cream puff.

The news comes from Autocar, which is reporting the development has already begun with sales to begin in the middle of next year. In addition to the twin-turbo powerplant and a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox, the new über 1-series coupe should sport an M-designed differential, new bodywork and a more robust suspension.

While an M version of the 1-series seems completely reasonable as a competitor for the Audi RS3, there's a problem with the name given the historical association with the 1970s super car.

Our thought? Why not trot out the BMW 1-series tii name. It's more historically accurate.

[Riski]

That would be a cool lil car...

 

[Turk]

Would be very fun.

 

[TonzKnock-G]

for what pricetag?

 

[andcbii]

i want.

 

[sickmint79]

there is a reasonable chance i will be buying a daily bimmer and track bimmer within the next 2 weeks. but i'll be damned if i won't be fantasizing over this one

 

[Turk]

 

[Mook]

sweet sun glasses.

ditch the hood. but would drive.

 

[Turk]

My guess, starting price will be 50k in the US.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Hood bulge is just a subliminal message trying to prove dick size. You know what they say... Tiny dick buy a BMW

 

[Bru]

 

[Turk]

What do they say about wagons? You sent me a PM about fucking me, ***!!!

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

What are you talking about? You should probably stay on topic for once. I'm simply commenting on the ugly hood on the car.

What are you talking about? You should probably stay on topic for once. I'm simply commenting on the ugly hood on the car.

And I was simply commenting on how homosexuals prefer wagons. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

You just going to harrass me in every thread? I think you need a time out.

 

[Turk]

It's pretty obvious why you came into this thread. You were butt hurt and started crying in the other thread. Quit PMing me homo, I will not have sexual relations with you.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I drove a 1 series and it was pretty impressive powerwise. What are they rated at currently? 300?

 

[Turk]

Yeah, 300. They could realistically make a M1 with 400hp, but then nobody would buy the M3. I like the hood bulge, I believe every M car should have it to set it apart from the regular models.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Looks dumb. Is it functional? I stand behind my statement of why it's there.

 

[Turk]

It's functional in the M3 to make space for the intake.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i dislike the hood as well. make a different intake.

 

[Outlaw]

Car looks good... idk about 50K though, IIRC E92 M3 Sedans start around 56k, i'd say this car would be well priced at high 30's to low 40's.

uh a fully loaded 128/130 (forgot which engine they get) goes to high 30s, fully loaded 135 goes to mid 40s if not higher... this car will for sure go for more than 50k
