Anyone know anything about the 1 series?

[Sticky]

I read about it in road and track, they had a little info on the 1 series. The M version is supposed to have a 240 hp 4 cylinder and be very affordable, sounds like fun. Anyone know anything else about it?

Aside from that 9000 rpm 2.3l 240hp magniesium block 4 banger that's rumored, it's supposed to weigh between 1000-1100kg or so. If that's true, it will totally fly.

Best site I know about for info on it is http://www.bmw2002.co.uk/news.htm

Plenty of pics there.

The 1 series sounds like it is right up my alley. :D

Looks like they are going for an S2000 killer in the Z2 with 240hp 'M' engine. Only good things can come out of this...

Exactly. And they keep saying 'it's going to be light!' -- if it really is, that will rule.

I've probably removed 100 lbs total from strategic locations on my 318ti, just with chip and intake it's feeling a lot faster than it used to. I think I'm going to get it dynoed at DSR in two weeks, to see where I'm at. If they can shoehorn 240hp into a light little thing -- look out. :evil2
