Whats confusing more, is the mention of the M1 as if this car will be an M1 successor while it has nothing to do with it. Yeah BMW loves confusing us!

As for the naming, if they put a real M-engine in it then it would be call to call it 1M, as M1 should be reserved to the unique super E26 successor.

Lighter/Lower version of teh current 135i with widened fenders (as in the Photo), CSL rims (as in the photo) and an S65 slapped in instead of the N54 would be a dream car, I will think of it for sure.

My guess is that the new engine for this car would be more like a 2.0 4cylinder with Garet turbo chargers and the technology from the X5/6 M models.Or an high revving 4cylinder.Dont think it will have a 6cylinder..it wouldnt bee as economic as a 4cylinder which speaks against the bmw philosophy.
name ? something like a 120 is , 125is or even 135is

Barry, initially was being said that the Supersports will use the existing platform, but it seems like it will take advantage of the new 1 series underpinnings since they have been already testing that for a while now.

Still a lot of things are confusing, but I personally believe we will see the Supersports in a year or so with a new design.

Also, BMW is known to create confusion sometimes :) to throw us off the track

I’m a bit confused. I thought the “birdies” were saying the SuperSports model would be a sporty version of THIS generation. It’s almost as if this article is talking about two different cars. So that would mean the Supersports version would come out before the next gen 1er and they will share similar underpinnings? :confused:
