BMW may build turbo 1-series

The BMW 135Ti (or maybe 135Tc for American buyers) will not be your ordinary turbocharged sport compact. In fact, it will be powered by BMW's upcoming turbocharged six-cylinder and will produce in the neighborhood of 330 bhp. The compact uber-BMW has been seen testing on the Nürburgring. The decision to produce the car has not been made. You can bet that it will be a rocket if it is produced. Now, there will not be an M1 variant of the 1-series. The M1 was a GT sports car BMW produced in the late Seventies and early Eighties. You can be sure, however, that the 135Ti will either be developed by the M team, or they may create an M variant off of the 135Ti. Either way, this should be a sufficiently entertaining Bavarian.
