I know...damn...I've been looking. I'm pissed.
But they might want to let all the press to cover all the other stuff...then a few days later they can grab the spot light.
I'm just wondering....will it look...well obvious it will...but how close to the CS1 concept?

That's been the standard cabrio photo going around for the 1 series. But I dunno if that's a '1' or a '2'. I think the hatchback is the 1, and the 'vert is the 2.
Mmmmmm.. M2 cabriolet.. 2.4l FI 240hp. M class handling and features, good hp. If it has a good price tag, I can see this making a decent dent in 3/4 series sales, especially if they really are going to be 'moderate' in price for the 1/2 series.
Good car to get more folks into bimmers. Remember not everyone can afford a new BMW, but many still desire one. This could get it into more driveways. Which leads to further sales of bigger cars..
From a corporate/financial standpoint, it makes perfect sense. They must be putting together some more facilities to handle all this, or cutting down the production #'s for certain series to be able to make all of these different models..
I'm rethinking getting the wife a 323ti or 325tiT in preference of waiting on this 1 series hatchback.. I've seen some other 'photos' of a 5 door version (4 doors + hatch). wonder if that's for real, or another tooled photo. (prolly a stretched 3 series iT I suspect)

im been thinking lately...BMW is releasing all of these cars...well some of the new series are rumors...do you think BMW will have the production capacity for all of these cars? I do know that htey are builing a new factory in Leizpig that can create in the area of 650 cars a day max when opened...but to build all these series will mean some series changes to production
