If they can strip a 135i down to 2,900 lbs with some CF goodies, give it some stiffer suspension and most importantly a real mechanical LSD I'm in. I don't care if it makes any additional hp.
Haha. Not a snowballs chance in hell BMW will ever produce a car under 3,000 lbs.

It will probably be badged as a "tii". No guarentee, but there have already been concept versions of the tii that were well received. Not to mention, it looks bad as hell. I highly doubt they'll touch the hallowed "M1" marquee.

In some other dimension, thousands of lawyers are building snowmen.

You could have just as easily titled this thread..."Another ugly BMW coming!"

Ah, I'm officially encouraged!

Here's to less weight in future BMW cars, even if power also comes down a bit.

Well I would love to see it, however I clearly recall the many weight "estimates" for the 1 series prior to its release.....and it being ~400 lbs heavier.
