so when BMW says the 1 Series M Coupe does 0-60 in 4.6, what does that tell you? With equal drivers and manual transmissions, the 135i never had too much trouble keeping up with the M3 in a straight line (at least below 100) so there's no doubt in my mind that even a 1 M Coupe with 335hp would be quicker.
As to whether or not these statistics are true, Automobile couldn't even get the name of the car right...this is just like every other article we've seen so far, they made these specs up in the absence of any real info from BMW.

Actually,
BMW states the 0-60 for M3 Coupe as:
4.7 MT / 4.5 DCT

BMW states the 0-60 for 135i Coupe as:
5.1 MT / 5.0 DCT

Scott26 has said many times, that the 1M will not step on the toes of the M3. 0-60 is not the end all way to compare cars.
I cant wait for the car to be announced so all of this ridiculous speculation can be put to rest!
