2011 BMW M1 design details outlined

1bad350z · 02-04-2010, 06:18 PM

From 1addicts.com

* More muscular appearance than standard 1-series
* Trapezoid grille flanked by two intakes to allow extra brake cooling
* Six piston brakes
* High performance intercooler
* Sportier looking headlights than standard 1-series
* Small lip spoilers above brake duct inlets to provide extra air flow and downforce
* The front wings of the car are massaged slightly to accomodate the wider track. Rear end is also wider.
* Standard 18" 5-spoke wheels with optional 18" Competition wheels (18" will be the optimium wheel size for the M1)
* Signature M side vent
* Broader wheel arches to accomodate larger track
* "Ducktail" CSL style rear trunk (integrated spoiler)
* Rear valance/diffuser area takes its direction from the standard 135i but with open ducts for aerodynamic purpose
* Signature M quad exhaust pipes
* Reinforced carbon fiber roof

Jeez, they're gonna sell like hotcakes.

seriously...

So can somebody quote me the trade in value of an 09 370Z with 5K miles?

Kidding, kidding.

Sweet car, but I bet the price will put it in territory that makes little sense.

Too big of a gap under the license plate. Looks like a large mouth bass. But I would rock one.

It's going to cost much more than a 370z and it's going to be another mini-m3.
Cute.

Hmmm. Sorry to say, but if that is the successor to the previous m1, that's a downgrade.

Yeah, that should have called it the M135, or 135M.
I almost bought a 135i before I saw the Z, glad I didn't, this is pretty nice though.
