2) BMW already went very M with the 135: it comes standard with M cosmetic treatments and has an optional LSD in the accessories department.

If anything, BMW will release the tii concept instead of an M1, but its uncertain whether or not that will actually happen. My theory is that BMW will offer all of the goodies of the tii as accessories for the 135 sooner or later.

Here's the M1:
