    Wondering after reading more about the 1M, if it might be in the same sort of position the Cayman is at Porsche... If BMW along with the suspensions upgrades had actually lightened the 1 like we all want and added true M power, which would have put it in the 370+ HP range; would not the 1M be faster than the M3?:popcorn:

    I wonder how this thing compairs to past M3's on power to weight? I remember one of the magazines did a big M3 story that had the figures for each generation of M3 and it was interesting to see the power and the weight rocket up on the last 2 generations of M3.

    Air Curtains sound very interesting. I wonder if they will be able to pull the brake dust off the wheel and keep the wheels clean? 4.7 to 60 is not too shabby either.
