As the 1M, will probably be a very fun car. But without the limited numbers and the novelty of being the first M with a turbo, will it be special enough?
Really looking forward to seeing it in the flesh!

They have an opportunity to develop a great car if they want to. I am afraid that bean counters are winning again. A development short path is not the best option. There is a cost for bringing it to market sooner make no mistake. I hope I am wrong. It seems that BMW is in panic mode after Ford's show.
