Talking 1-Series xDrive caught?!?!?!?
Quote:
A WCF reader has taken pictures of a BMW 1 Series Coupe in Munich. However this is no ordinary 1er. According to our "spy" it features a carbon fibre roof and 19-inch wheels shod with 265/35 R19 Michelin Pilot Sport tyres. More interesting are the wide rear wheel arches which suggest an xDrive-equipped 1 Coupe could be undergoing testing. The 1 has not had AWD before so if it happens it would be a first.
What piqued our curiosity even more is the fact that these images were snapped on a road directly from BMW's M-GMBH. Munich has repeatedly stated that a 1 Series-based M car was out of the question. But two years ago a performance-bred 1 Series tii Concept car did the international motor show circuit. It featured carbon fibre materials and other lightweight construction substances.
The current ranger-topper is the RWD 135i Coupe with the BMW Performance Power Kit producing 240kW (326hp) and up to 450Nm of torque.

Yes, wider track would probably be the reason. xDrive on this type of vehicle? God no...

This car will be very "M". However, of course not wearing an M badge.



Looking at those pictures, especially those from the rear, all I can think is 2002 Turbo.

From a Previous Post.

The BMW 1er -BMW performance Concept is something similar to the BMW M3 CSL - more advantage of lightweight materials and specific options aimed at the enthusiast. But not offered within the BMW Performance catalog.
Although there will be a similar option for the M3 Coupe including Matt finishes as Glacier Silver , Frozen Grey ,Matt Black and Clay White. But do not think of them as CSL's.

Don't see why this would be an xDrive... normally AWD models have a higher suspension standing and don't require wider bodies.

I'm done getting my hopes up. I'm going to convince myself this is an xDrive.
