I don't know if it's fake or not, but it does appear to be tuned by Hamman

I highly doubt there will be an M 1 series unless they call it something else. I don't think BMW would name that an M1 after the original was a supercar.

That muffler totally ruins the looks of the rear end.

Otherwise, I'd hit it...

There is no factory M version of the 1 series... BMW has a 1 series, but it's not in America (yet).

The classic M1 looks like this:



Here's a 116 with the optional m sport package (not to be confused with the full on ///M version)....



"Includes M Aerodynamic Package, M sport suspension, M leather steering wheel, M door sill finishers, M light alloy wheels Double spoke 207 M with 7J x 17 205/50 front tyres and 7.5J x 17 225/45 R17 rear tyres, sport seats, Anthracite roof lining, interior trim in Aluminium Glacier Silver and shadowline for exterior windows and Boston leather upholstery."

So the m sports package is really just a trim package (like acura's A spec) with no hp increased to the motor).

I'd love to own a 120i (4cly) with the sport package, but I'd settle for a 130i sport. The way things are going it looks like I'll probably be driving a 1 series coupe before acura comes out with a coupe of it's own.

The official Acurazine 1 Series thread is here:

BMW is not one to share wheels across it's lineup for the Mcars. Those are M6 front wheels used on the "M"1's 4 corners. I think it's a fake.
