This is going to be the ultimate sports-hatch and packs an extra 50+ bhp over the current BMW 130 or VW Golf R32. Munich would love to call the car M1 – but that would take away the glory from the legendary 1970’s M1 supercar, so the range-topping 1-Series will have to do with a 135ti-badge on the rear, hinting to the sophisticated 3.0-litre turbo-engine delivering no less than 306 bhp. It’s just been presented in the 3-Series coupe and should be able to turn the 1-series into a real cannonball on wheels
