SCOTT has also said that the ///M1 will not "tread on the toes of the M3", which has led a lot of folks to believe that the car will end up in this 350-360 range......

M1: 1430 kg + 68 kg + 7 kg = 1505 kg (EU), 135i (E82) 6MT weighs 1530 kg (EU).
New speculation:

M1 (E82) 6MT, 350 PS, 1420 kg (DIN): 4,057 PS/kg

Very far from M3.
