It did 4.8 then and it does 4.8 now. What is so exciting about the new M1 if it does 5.0? It gets 350 hp? The current N54 engine is 300 hp and 300 ft lbs. Where is the gain? What's the point? It couldn't be just hype now, could it? Don't get me wrong; I LOVE my car, but why switch out for 15K+ and a moniker that doesn't deliver? I got my 135i in May 2008.

It would be great for you to consider this.

But even BMW recognizes the importance of the M1 as an iconic moniker, by naming the recent concept the M1 Hommage. It should be retired, not reused.

The M1 homage moniker will have to be revamped in to an M higher number like you've illustrated above to fit into the Schema of things i suppose. Now that you put it that way.

But whatever it's called I have to agree that a price north of 50k seems too high. At that number there are a lot of great cars to look at. I guess they could call it th M135i.

BUT, will this M1 be a E8x model or a next gen 1er? Because 2011 will bring us a fresh 1er with new everything. Will the 2011 M1 be based on a model introduced in 2004, or a model based in 2011? Will the choice be NEW 135i Vs. E8x M1? I hope not. This sounds really great!!!

Would expect the acceleration to be somewhere in the 4.3 to 4.5 range. This is going to give the M3 some serious competition..still the 2 cars would attract 2 different types of customers, so no risk of cannibalization.

UK charges 28k pounds for a 325 sedan and we charge $33k for a 328. if the exchange rates were accurate, the 325 should be 44 grand in the US which is not true. I think if this car reachs the US it would max at $45 grand since the 135i is aready $35k I don’t think exchange rates are tied into the auto industry.

No way. It looks way too weird, if they could improve the look of this car then sure it be nice to have, as it is, to me at least, it looks like a chick car, or something out of 2003 model lineup. Looks old and dated. Also, if this thing has 350HP, and a dual clutch transmission, it should do at least 4.5 seconds to 60. 50K for this car as it looks now? No way.
