1M unveiled

http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=463218

- twin turbo n54-335hp(BMW recently updated to the more efficient n55 single twin scroll turbo but kept the n54 in the 1M and 335is/z4is models)
-no cf roof(?)
-6MT only, no dct
-7k redline
-production ends first quarter of 2012, no number limit.

looks quite aggressive imo, but still waiting for numbers.

EDIT: MORE SPECS

http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=463733

* 4.7 second 0-60mph / 4.9 second 0-100kmh
* 13.2 second quarter mile
* 155mph top speed
* 335hp @ 5900rpm
* 332lb-ft torque from 1500-4500rpm (with +37lb-ft overboost)
* High strength steel unibody with widened fenders and track
* Metal roof panel (saves 35lbs over 1-series with moonroof)
* Aluminum suspension from E90/E92 M3. Virtually all of the front-end components are aluminum; virtually every detail on the five-arm rear axle is made of aluminum
* Weight balance of 51.7% front 48.3% rear
* Weighs in at 1,495kg DIN (3,296 lbs, preliminary)
* Brakes from M3 featuring internally-vented, cross drilled cast icon discs – 14.2 inch front, 13.8 inch rear. Each disc is connected to a floating aluminum hub by cast-in stainless-steel pins which reduces the thermal loads on the discs, thus increasing their performance and service life.
* Dash display brake wear indicator monitors condition of the brake linings.
* M3 Competition / M3 GTS competition wheels – 19x9” with 245/35/19 tires front and 19x10” w/ 265/35/19 tires rear


*Air curtains, used here for the first time in a BMW production vehicle, improve air flow around the wheel arches with the benefit of significantly reduced turbulence. This innovative aerodynamic feature consists of openings in the outer section of the lower front fascia that route high-pressure air through ducts at each front corner. The ducts are approximately 10 x 3 centimeters wide and are designed to channel air to openings at the front of each wheel arch, where it is discharged through a very narrow opening at high speed. The escaping air stream covers the side of the front wheels like a curtain, thereby reducing aerodynamically unfavorable turbulence around the rotating wheels. (Technology stems from BMW Vision Efficientdynamics).

It's a chick car. It'll be like driving a Miata with a V8 conversion. It may be the bees knees to drive, but everyone else still thinks you are gay.

This is fine when I fly past them; sideways, in reverse, on the interstate, past police, and while flipping them off.

I don't like them on my computer screen so much, but I saw a White 135i with some black wheels, and it looked phenomenal in real life. I think it looks a lot meaner/less girly than a new MX-5.

Agreed. They look pretty sweet in real life.

Doesn't take too much...:awe:
 
agreed that pictures don't do much justice. my sister received a 128i as a loaner in place of her problematic 328i today-looked great in person.

additionally, i think the 1 series is the closest "new" thing that resembles the e46. and i simply loved the e46.
 
Looks great. I love that they have brought back the properly flared arches at the front. They messed up the e92 M3 on that front, IMHO.

Anyway, I biased in that I already have a 1 series, but this car, without run flats (no RFT from M division FTW!) and 340hp is very tempting... It's this or an E60 M5... damn choices.

E60 FTW, small fast fun cars are easy to come by pretty cheap, not so for the big autobahn bruisers with a luxury touch.

A gay car is a gay car, no matter how many horsies :wub: it have or how ballerin:wub:stic its handling is. Get a manlier convertible.

I think the real issue is that there are apparently cars that are rubbin up over other cars inappropriately. Something needs to be done about this.
 
You guys are not getting it's not about what GUYS think.

Most girls I know that see a guy in a miata or boxter think the worst of the dude.
 
+1

Even a stock Miata isn't gay if you're a car guy and you understand the merits of the car: it's a great little go-kart.

If a car makes you gay, you were gay all along :awe:

Agreed 100%. I like a lot about this car. I think the additional body work has definitely "butched" up the 1 series...and I already liked the look enough as it was. Would definitely consider for my next car.

I hope your kidding. If not, get a real outlook on cars and not some fabricated macho persona that makes you sound like you use cars to compensate for something else. The MX-5 is an awesome car for all the right reasons. Who cares if girls drive it.

manly and vert dont really go together.

but chicks love verts

I know very few women that didnt want to go for a ride in my friends 09 mx-5 when he got it

but anyone who buys a car to get laid, has deeper issues

I'm married...why do I give a fuck what other girls think? If you're confident enough a person, the car you drive doesn't matter. You've been in S. Florida too long.

Edit: And you're the one that is not getting it...it isn't what other people think...it is what you want and what you enjoy. If you make car purchases to please other people...you're losing already.
