1 Series M Coupe
- Thread starter Z4 Beemer
- Start date
Looks like any other faceless two door sedan, no personality. Time will tell if has any performance.
If it looks like the rendered image above, then frankly I'm disappointed. Just browsing another forum and reading posts suggesting it's going to be heavier than the M3 CSL's were. That might not be a problem, but to me it's a bit of a shame everything is so bloated now - that even a model that's being likened to the good old days of lightweight go-faster cars is going to be heavier than older stripped out 3 series. I guess maybe instead I should be even more impressed at how much weight they shaved off an M3 to make the CSL?

ooooo look, its a bogo 1 series with csl's, a great engine and a stupid price tag ! why anybody would spend a fortune on one of these is beyond me, if it was 10K new i still wouldnt commit.
Some new renders, I still quite like it.

The instrument binnacle looks VERY low rent. I sincerely hope that is just a development mule. Seats don't look great either.
The seats are standard sports seats that you get on the SE Dynamic, which is the model I have. I suspect it's just a development mule fitment.
As for DCT vs Manual, where the UK is concerned I wouldn't read too much into anything 1addicts reports as that is a USA centric site. Specs can vary between markets; for example in the UK the E60 M5 is only available with SMG, and not manual. Vice versa in the USA - the M5 is only available as a manual and SMG is not an option there.
