[Jonathan M3]

Its going to have some traction issues, because its coming in 135i form.

Holy fucking shit. twin turbo 1 series, I'm willing to bet it will cost more than $30k

[mtechnik]

saw this earlier today.. The 130i already holds it's own against a VW R32 so you can imagine..........!

[Jand3rson]

I don't like it in stock form, but I've seen several done by AC Schnitzer, Hartge and Hamann that made me very happy in pants.

[craig4ie]

sweet...

I saw a 1 series driving around Whistler at new years with BC plates. Mighta been a North American spec test mule.

put my name down for a 130i as a DD

[AndrewBird]

Badass! I've always liked them, and with that much power, DAMN!

Lets hope that they come with a better clutch than the current 335i . :D

[EtaSport]

thats what im talking about. i wouldnt mind seeing the 335d either with its hefty 400+ lb ft. of torque and almost 40mpg fuel milage.

[MR 325]

I loves it!!

[uofom3]

is it rwd?? i never figured that out... should be an absolute rocket with the TTsix in it

Yeah its rear wheel, i could never buy this car, i would much rather have the mcoupe, even though it isnt TTinline six, its still a much more appealing car, and the price tags will be close enough.

[Erick]

Isnt the M coupe like $50k??? For 30K, that mini-M coupe would be a bargain.

I dont think you understand just how small this thing is. The E30 is bigger inside.

Yeah, I would the 1 series, even with the TTinline-6 will be at least 10k cheaper then the Mcoupe

[joshh]

But it's really ugly.
I wonder if the motor will fit in an E30.:shock:
