The more I think about this it makes no sense. With the M2 having 43Hp and 13 Tq more than the M235i, why not just wait for the B58 model if it makes it to the M240i. Its rumored to have 354HP. Thats 11HP less than the M2. What is BMW smoking?

It's all about balance. Here is the stock S14 running down V8s and S54/S65s on a high horse power track. I'll take the lower power for more balance every time. http://<div class="youtube-playerCon.../iframe></div> T |

With enough $ anything can happen. I believe that car went to a BMW exec though.

Leipzig produces the cheapest BMWs. No need to set it up for 5k paint jobs that only M2 buyers would ask for. |

I actually personally know someone with a Dakar Yellow 1M. I wonder how that happened. He's definitely not a BMW Exec (a plastic surgeon). I guess with enough cash...

The last few 1Ms were done at the behest of the end of production for the 1er M Coupe so it was allowed as a one-off.
For regular individual cars the production line has to be stopped and then the car shipped for paint application before being added back to the production line. The reason why the answer is No. Is because BMW are immensely proud of their efficient production strategy therefore any acceptance of an Individual car would mean that you pay also for the production stoppage, downtime and logistics which is why Leipzig built cars are refused for Individual. It costs up to just below another car.

Its a wrap or custom painted. No US market 1Ms were painted in any other color rather than the three standard colours offered.

Horsepower and torque will definitely be the only differentiating qualities between the two, totally

Yes, it is.
BMW is not smoking anything. People that claim 354hp for M240i are smoking something. |

Is there any sound word with regards to the internals of the N55, upgrades specifically?
Forged pistons would be a great addition, but I've rarely seen a car Mfg, short of AMG do this - most everything is cast.
