The reviews of the new M3 are in:
Some car magazines have reviewed the new M3, and it appears they are left wanting more :

very astute of that TG commentator to mention the 135i....
....THAT's the car that is probably going to blow everyone away. Same engine as the 335i, but in a 200-300lb lighter body?!? And half the price of a M3?!? Arguably better-looking than either the 335 or M3 too...

Yes.. that was a bit of hype from me.. TG was the only one that loved it.
But most people commenting on the article had some negatives to say (and that's why I pointed out the comments section in the TG article).

Nice comments about it in AutoWeek
"BMW says there will be no M version of its entry level 1 Series. As disappointing as that might be for M fans, it appears the German carmaker might not need one, judging by the specs of the new US bound 1 Series coupe."

Re: very astute of that TG commentator to mention the 135i....
they have to be cutting corners somewhere. and i like the 335i coupe's looks better. but that's subjective. i'm not so sure it will be a winner, as hopelessly status conscious BMW drivers may resist "stepping down" from 3 series into the 1.
