Not feelin the look, although i do appreciate the fact that they got rid of the "pregnant belly" look finally! 340hp seems "weak" for sure

Yeah, dude... as much as I was excited about this car when first images broke cover - I'm just as disappointed by it after learning the specs and looking at more detailed pics

Hey, did anyone browse thru the new Roundel yet? Was looking thru last nite, and they made reference to BMW only building something like 2,701 1Ms??? Has anyone else heard this yet, and is it truE for an annual sales number or total run for the current bodystyle? They ask the question as to whether this makes the car more desirable which certainly it does imho. If its true, anyone thinking about this better find out and get a build slot quick!

The latest European Car magazine has a brief blurp that said the same thing, rumor of a limited run of 2700 units.

No, dude, I'm pretty sure we would all prefer an M to a non-M haha

I was just saying that people already do get 135's and hook them up to be really fast.

Well, we've been saying this for a while now - the E60 NA M5 is the last of its breed.
