This is awesome!! With all the info about there being lots of CF, etc...sounds like it will be way out of reach of many like the M3 GTS... That would be a shame but to the few lucky ones to get their hands on it, it will be a pride and joy. Hope I'm one of them... Oh man!! This is awesome!!

Hope I’m one of them…

My guess would be a little cheaper than the M3, but probably not much. I wonder how much this thing would cost. My guess would be a little cheaper than the M3, but probably not much.

I won't be a buyer but it does help with improving the brand's image. I am glad they finally gave the green light for an M1.

First new BMW in a while. I want no sunroof, suspension similar to the M3 so I don't have to update it and lower weight. Please bring this to market at a reasonable price.

Why can't BMW just make a R* competitor already? Screw the recession! :P I’d love to see their “R8 killer” named like BMW Zero, but I kinda dissaprove using the M1 title for this car for it should be used in a “spiritual sucessor” to the old one.

And that's why I reckon this site the best source of information for BMW fans.

From the description alone, do like very much. Maybe were talking a E30 M3 type of car here... A car that will have a cult fallowing for years to come? One can hope.

Now you're talking! I'm really glad to know that some rules will be enforced! About the 'M1'... This really sounds like a very speciall little number. It's like they're going all out on this one - with passive aerodynamics and the works. Also, it's likely that this car will enjoy a very limited run - not much time left before the new one is out...?

About the ‘M1′… This really sounds like a very speciall little number. It’s like they’re going all out on this one – with passive aerodynamics and the works.

Let the community chastise those comments by following the same system that youtube uses, that is after a number of thumps down the comment is hidden and can no longer be seen. Just an idea...

I was proud that we had a civilized, intelligent crowd here, compared to a forum environment, but things seem to change. So some measures will be taken, regardless if we lose readers or not. I prefer quality over quantity. Engadget just completely shut off their commenting system due to similar behavior, even worse, personal threats, etc.. Anyway, moving on, let's say on the M1 course.
