My ghetto mentality would have told me to stop the shit out of him. There is no way I would let anybody do that to my car.

how much should this car cost? based on estimates from regular 1er and 3er?

Most likely between 22-25k

thanx scott.

I hope bmw does it right with the m1. And that means keep the weight down. Go for max driving fun not an autobahn cruiser.

My only problem is that it's not been called the 2 series. That's how they should have called the 3/5 hatches too. This new M1 along with the 328 is another balashpemisation of BMW hallmarks.

Still, great non the less.

Posible lines:

"Yes it's finally here"

"Your pacience will finally be rewarded"

"Yeah we know you've been Bitching Moaning and Wining, so here it is"

Didn't one of you said that they were working on a future M1 with new highrev L6 ?

"Sometimes thinking small can be a very successful solution"

Both cars- The 2002 and the 1er Coupe with the Bayerische Motoren Werke AG HQ in the back ground illuminated @ night. Both cars with lights on , the
1er Coupe with it's "Angel Eyes" illuminated.

So there will be probably be both to satify the forced induction/torque freaks and the high rever league.

Eni, SCOTT ?!

Im hoping for a turbocharged I4 when the new 1er Coupe arrive, that would be cool.
