I have a 1 now - for $4K in parts I could add a juicebox 3+, some light wheels and it would probably run this car off the ring. Too heavy, aluminum panels and all.

They've confirmed it will be lighter than a 135i.

I'm right there with you but imagine a JB product on this bad boy.

Keep posting. I love your avatar.

Seriously though - it had better be a *lot* lighter to make it worthwhile.

..that happens to drive a 335i as a DD. Nice try, sport.

And yes, this looks 1,000 times better than a 1 series BMW.

Honestly the 1 series is not very pretty.

Well I own a 1 series, not for its good looks, but all around package. Just software, this car is even with a C6 Vette on a mild tune!!

I have high hopes for this M version but honestly, if you swap in the M3 suspension parts on standard 135i, plug in JB3 with some decent tires its going to be tough to keep up with.

If it's that good, my 1 goes to my wife and the M1CoupePyrat is MINE!

I never really warmed up to the 1-series looks...especially those of the cab. But I absolutely love the blue and red stitching on the steering wheel....I'd buy the car just for that
