Sorry but i see no comparison to the 1M, this is basically an updated 135i....
Kinda offensive IMO to be comparing this car to the 1M actually.

South Africa has a population of 50 million, and we only buy +-2500 new BMWs every month. Size doesn't always matter, does it? (For the record and purposes of staying on topic, I'd buy an M135i in a heartbeat if I could realistically afford it). |

not offensive at all, natural actually.. i acknowledge the 1m is about 75% different than a 135i, whereas the M135 is prob only 35% different than a 135i, but similarities remain. Ppl are going to stick to the engine output, which is very similar b/t the 1M and the M135i as their basis for saying they're similar.

I very much doubt this is the final design. Just too simple to combine the greenhouse of the E82 with the front and lower body of the F21....
Not much designwork done, and IMO not worthy a new model name (2-series).

The basics remain the same. ie the typical classic BMW 2dr outline as does the bloodline from the F20 remain. The details will change though to define the car as the 2er.

More than anything the front defines a model series visually. So at least the front will come out different.

Some real info about the philosophy and positioning of the M135i:
http://www.bmwblog.com/2012/05/13/bm...oject-manager/ (it's a car for the road, inbetween the ///M models (all go) and the M-sport (all show) |

I only ordered this week. My dealer is looking at it as they expected September based on their allocation.
