NEW BMW M1
I was going to put this into Anything Else but you cant have a Poll in that section of the forum... so I decided to put it into here.
Now - put all your BMW biases to one side for a moment and rate it on it's own merits. What marks (from 10) would you give this motor - purely
on looks as no doubt it will go a bit...
Have a look HERE and vote on it...
Over to you....

I gave it 8/10 as i quite like the "hotwheels" look about it, however, i have no doubt it'll be nothing like when they actually
release it (if they ever bother?!?)

I believe that in event of an attempted car jacking small antenna extend out the hubs and the death ray is unleashed on the hapless and quickly

It got a 4 from me cos I like the colour (which accounted for three of the points).
My first thoughts when I saw pic (and hadn't read thread) were it looks dated and would date severely - so I second Mr W's comments.
I don't believe a production version will exist, and even if I'm wrong, it's german and won't be allowed to do more than
155mph.

Stunning. I loved the original one and this is a worthy face lift. Its not a new car afterall so no harm in keeping styling queues from last model.
Lights are very aggressive looking.
It would have to have awesome power to sit alongside the new generation M sport models.
I cant help thinking those who rate it 8 and above will do so because of its heritage and knowing where it comes from. Anyone voting it as a new stand
alone model will probs rate it lower.
Defo a love or hate model.
I wonder i it will get high power diesel version - would be nice to see 10+ mpg from such a super car.
