The unveiling of the 1 series M coupe is imminent and if indeed it's equipped w/ an uprated version of the N54 engine, it has the possibility of unseating the M3 as the most desirable M car in the BMW lineup because of that engine's tunability. My only concern is that the tendency of the 135i to understeer at the limit will still not be exorcised in the M version and that it won't come with EDC to make it even more versatile. We all know that it will only be equipped with a proper 6-sp manual so no DCT for the car.
Here is the link for some pictures of the partially uncovered orange-colored 1 series M coupe:

Let's hear what you guys have to say about the pros and cons about 1 series M coupe vs the e90/e92 M3.
