On the 1 series, will have to wait to see it in person. Definitely love the interior, though. Modern, yet it really harkens back to the simple and functional BMW interiors of the 70s and 80s.

I think it will be a great car, and a big hit among enthusiasts. Size wise, I'm sure it will be as large as the 3 series from not too many generations back. The Turbo 6 that will come in the top version is rated at 300 hp, but independent testing has shown that number to be understated by 10% or so. And with a Vishnu re-flash, it puts out an easy 400/400. In a car that size, that is going to be a hoot.

Hopefully they aren't too hot right out of the box and depreciate like a normal modern car. I would love to pick up a 2-3 year old one for cheap.

If they use the M1 name for the M version, though, that would be unfortunate.
