I'm guessing that the 1M weighs more.
I like the looks a lot. I think the 1M is going to be a great alternative for those that want a true driver's car with 4 seats.

no n52 has boost if you're implying the motor from the 335 (n54/55). and you are correct, it was known from the beginning that the 1-series m would not get the v8, but rather a more powerful version of the n54 which was the major *knock* - ie you could build you up a 135i to match the output of the 1m without the hefty price tag.
i just wonder what the price will be, reporters guessed it'd be near the 45k mark which isn't too bad.
