£40k for a 135i with a remap seems a bit steep to me tbh.
Audi RS3, new Caterham

I thought they already did a 1 series M-sport coupe. Is that different from an M1? (if thats what it will be called).

exactly
Wish people would do research
Same engine but revised power delivery (map) but also different steering, wider track, suspension geometry as changed etc
Should be an excellent car - early reports suggest its reverting back to the old school feel of Mpower cars which is only a good thing

MSPORT coupe is a 1 series coupe with MPSORT kit
1 series M-Coupe has the engine and all bits to make it a M Car rather than just the styling

Yes exactly Whitter.
The kind of people hat say an ///M3 is pointless as the 330 is just as quick  wind me up something chronic.
They have a unique feel. Chris Harris drove the prototype and said it seemed very good for what little tome he was allocated to drive it (20m) He also highlights the things missing from the current M3 so I now don't think I'm crazy with what I think about them 
Going to be an epic car, I wish I had £40k tbh

Sorry, I had done my research, it's a car I've been avidly waiting for. I was bring sarcastic as it seems a little anticlimactic with such a boring engine, regardless of the steering rack and all that jazz...

Going rate Robin. Engine is aparently meant to behave like a n/a one too I believe they have tried to keep the feel. Get it remapped and iirc change manifold and downpipe and itl keep up with a Gallardo

MSPORT Coupe 1 Series and M-Coupe 1 Series are two different cars that look the same, no wonder I got confused.
Personally i'd want the 1 Series M-Coupe too look much different from the MSPORT for £40k.
