BMW's 1-Series tii concept was just revealed and we can now bring you live shots of this stunning coupe from the floor of the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. The tii is based on the recently launched 1-Series coupe, but is a leaner, meaner, more hardcore version of the entry level Beemer. The enhanced bodykit and carbon fiber parts give it a purposeful stance that just exudes motorsport, as well as lowering the car's weight and making it aerodynamically sliippier. On the inside, we especially dig the white steering wheel and Alcantara trimmed interior. Click here for the original post on the tii, or check out the gallery below for pics of the car shot live.

Showing the car is one thing, but will they actually sell it? If it can come in other colors, i'll take one minus the stripe and the reverse Tii logo up front. They can save that for a turbo model.

I hope the tii utilizes the 135i... because if there's one BMW that could stand to loose some weight (well the entire range now really), it's the 135i.

Tii sticker is there because the 135i IS a turbo model.

FYI, it's "Bimmer", not "Beemer". The former is for BMW cars, the latter for their bikes.

wow, the car actually looks way better woth that body kit than the standard one, now just to fix those stupid headlamps and it might be a halfway good-looking car

I think pop culture has dictated that they want to call BMW cars beemers. Only the very small BMW fan base gets it right, but I think they are outnumbered by the masses that get it wrong. Since majority rules....

It was once explained to me, by one of the enthusiast group chapters, that in the US either was acceptable, but not in Europe. It seems purists have revolted against that notion.
Regardless of name, I want one of these. Sans the glitz, but I want the guts.

There is a magazine on sale in North America called "Bimmer" so there is no excuse for calling it wrong.

Looks awesome, and there's no iDrive. Hallelujah. And add me to the list for "Bimmer."
