120CSi announced

[mtechnik]

EDIT to the thread title : 120CSi announced/ rumored Thus pending confirmation

Just seen on another forum.

1 Level Up.
Efficiency and Performance on a new level.

The BMW 120CSi - Four Cylinder Turbo - 240 PS. with Efficient Dynamics , Lightweight body enhancement .

The first compact performance coupe with low emissions

A sort of compensation for the Concept 135tii not going into production I guess...

[RedHoodRidah]

Hmm another 4cyl from bimmer huh. Nice.

[dude8383]

Oh man, I can't wait to see this!

Oh man, I can't wait to see this!

+1...would it be wishful thinking to think they'll price it in in the 20-25k range ?

[duodvlhntr]

That's awesome. But it's still not a tii.

[TDE30]

Now this seems a lot more like the 2002 reincarnation that the 1er was promised to be.

[Massive Lee]

The 2002 Turbo lives again!!! From 170 to 240hp in 30 years...

[Erick]

Oooooooooooooh it's on. I can't WAIT to see what this car turns into :D

[mtechnik]

yup yup

[M42Technik]

It's no M42.

/purist

Kidding aside I can't wait to see what this thing will do.

[Bimmerista]

The anticipation is killing me

[TDE30]

I still think the rear end of the 1er looks smooshed, but it sounds like it's SRS BZNS. I just got a brochure the other day: 6-piston front calipers and 2-piston rears, 300 lb/ft of torque from 1400-5000 rpm, 50/50 weight distribution. I wouldn't mind driving the 1er with SMG if they make one.

[swimstarguy]

Don't worry, we'll find out they're just rumors/deciding not going to go through with it in about a week or so.

sorry, I just can't get my hopes up about this.

Wrong thread, not 135i

[TDE30]

Whoops my bad. Anyone have any idea as to where the BMW press release for this 120CSi is?
