Kind of. | Agreed. Can't say I really like the design that much. Definately don't like the front end. The rear is interesting to say the least. I love the dual badge placement on the back though, like on the original M1. As new and such as this car is (even as a concept), I'd still rather have an M1. Always loved those and they're really a piece of history.

Bad news is the 1 series won't be called the M1 even if BMW makes a ///M version. | | | 05-06-2008, 08:11 PM | #15 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: San Diego Posts: 340 | __________________ 1/1997 M44 ti M-Sport Schwartz II | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
