that looks bloody stunning, love the new front intakes

well my eyes fooled me a bit on this one
but now the marketing strategy is a lot clearer
the M1 name is forever engraved and bolted to BMW's only (and hopefully not last) supercar
and thus cannot suit a small car even if point for point this "M1" will outmatch the older one
instead the focus is on drawing close paralells to the 2002 by reviving and enhacing the demonic sounding tii badge that made its halmark in the 2002 turbo of daddy's days
which makes sense to offer a non M tweaked turbo version of the current turbo 6 as a tii and keep development costs down, instead of having to develop a new atmo staright 6, given that the new Z4 will surely get the M3 V8
essentially capping the M family between the 3 and 6 variants

Wow, the Tii badge is such a good idea...
A 135 tii is a better idea than a M1 or 135 iM...

Reminds of the 2002 tii... Too bad the 1er Coupe manages to look worse than the 1er 3/5 doors..., with a front that does not go with the rear...

But it could be an ultimate BMW!!!

A big secret: the HP number.

Even bigger secret: the weight figures.

The biggest secret: when the production version will be launched & by what price.

Let s just hope an mechanical limited slip diff is there.

Wil the engine be a 4cil turbo or a 6 turbo. For the weight a 4cil turbo would be even better.

very very nice car. If the weight is much lower than the 135i and has an lsd off factory i am sold now lets hope the price is not to high.

What about DPC electro-mech active diff?

yup, they definitely hit it the head with the name. I am not sold on the paint job - but hopefully that is just a concept thing. Love the fact that they are using CF hood. Now we need some numbers.

Welcome to "1ntensified Performance Orientation"

The Concept is appropriate for Tokyo because the meaning is like a Suduko or Karakuru puzzle . A real brainteaser what do you think of when you see this car? What letter do you have in your head when you see this car ? what is the missing letter?

The 135i tii is just the beginning of two more performance 1er Coupe models.
that will cater for all tastes.

We will be having a pre Tokyo show event with the standard 1er Coupe models , This concept and the 1er cabrio tonight. although the Cabrio will remain hidden until the NAIS in January.

Scott does that means we get an M version of the one. Or will it stay tii.

Will M go turbo on this one. Or do we get newly developed straight six.

2002tii was a 4 cil turbo. 300hp 4 cil turbo would not be bad route either.
