What do you want to know? Where do you want to go?

Are we going to have the 2.0T petrol available from launch? What's its HP and torque?

Same here Marcus. I don't like how it looks at all. A small car like this doesn't really do well being morphed into a coupé IMO. A coupé needs length and a shorter height.

Sorry for the misunderstanding but as the release includes full info in regarding World Wide release including Canada and North America.

Unfortunately a slight delay has appeared in result of development of the new High Precision direct engines for outside Europe.
Due to the high Content levels of sulpher in petrol there is problems adapting the engines to work in the North American and Canadian markets . This has led to the delay in which media release was to be with us in the closing months of May , While there is a current drive for a fix to these problems we will see the release in the first week of July.

High Precision Engines , start-stop and Brake energy regeneration are a key component of BMW's "Efficient Dynamics" programme which is technology that will be featured with the Coupe.

I have a press release and was prepared to share some interesting developments ... But as of of e-mail last night I have been asked not to at this time. But I have several images of the car shot in Sydney , Australia , California and the cities of San Francisco and Los Angles and Munich , Germany.

Great news. Do you know when the M1 is coming?

Hopefully some of the photo's taken in my hometown and S.F. made the cut for P.R. shots, certainly the ones from Munich did (

). It would be smart of BMW to include the efficient dynamics fuel sipping technologies in the U.S. spec cars, BMW would then get lots of press all over including praise from the environmentally conscious whom are quite a vocal group. I don't think the 1er coupe variants here will be getting over 40mpg though, who knows what we'll get??? For now we'll see about that first week of July,which is almost a week away!!!!!!
