Does that make the X5M an MX5?

Yes. DEAL WITH IT!

trolling

Yes you are. If thats the '1 M Coupe' as BMW marketing has you believe, show me the 3 M Coupe.

Show me the M1 badge.

they shoulda just called it the 135tii just to get rid of confusion, because that is not an m1 and 1 series m coupe is a mouthfull

[KenC]

BMW officially refers to it as the "1 Series M Coupe." End of story.

It's badass. 3300lbs and 340hp... which is underrated as always by BMW (at least their new models). 0-60 in under 5sec... those turbo engines respond well to a reflash as well.


I saw the M1 Turbo concept at the museum in Munich... hideous.

You mean how bmw had the z3 m coupe or z4 m coupe, this is the 1 m coupe.

bingo!

Maybe (MX5)x3 to keep the weight in perspective.

BMW would then have to explain the tii title to average bmw fans and to the people who don't give a shit about bmw history

same with the ///M badge.

Might want to hold your comments until you have the chance to ride in an X5M. RIDICULOUSLY fast, not just for an SUV. 0-60 in 4.5, and will handle better than 90% of the cars on this board.

[e30lov]

that would be an interesting M1, unfortunately the real M1 looks like this.

boring

What are they up to now? Like 3,700 lb?

-----------------------------------

Anywho, i would totally drive that 1 M any day of the week. Its the closest thing to an e30 that bmw has engineered in a long long time.

With some tuning this car could put down some serious power

[e30e]

same with the ///M badge.

except they have been using the m badge for almost 30 years and its been almost 35 years since they used the tii badge, people know know that the m is a special badge.

[Raxe]

This car isn't close to an E30; this car is actually fast. The closest thing to an E30 is probably the 120i.

This car isn't close to an E30; this car is actually fast. The closest thing to an E30 is probably the 116i.
