300bhp twin turbo 3 litre straight 6, and it's only a little bigger than an E30 M3 
No M version though, according to BMW

As quick as the E46 M3 CSL, cover the boot up and you still got that horrible ugly 1 series but for some strange reason I like it too.
They can't make a M due to that being quite silly quick what difference would there be to the new M3?

Yeah, I think if they made an M, it would be quicker than the M3 
It's like the Porsche Cayman, neither have an LSD as they'd be better than the bigger car otherwise.
Top Gear magazine reckons they need to make a 250bhp 4 cylinder lightweight version and call it the M but it probably won't happen

I'd take that over the 135i still just for the looks.
BMW do need to bring out a high powered 4 cylinder engine again

So much better than the 5 door 1 Series and as they're doing it in 3.0 it could be pretty good. Almost like a poor mans 330 Coupe!! Just like the 3 door will be a poor mans M Coupe, maybe not

Whats going on with these Coupes all the car manufacturers are doing? A5, that Merc thing, this, Vaux are thiking of bringing back the Calibra. It just seems that you are taking a 4 door and removeing a door which ends up in a bit of a funny looking car...

I like that, altho for a "small BMW" it still weighs the wrong side of 1500kgs! (1560 to be exact!) which I think it a joke! 300bhp with a power to weigh ratio of about 190bhp............great! Shame really cos it look ace!
