As an owner of a 1 series, this would be an opporunity for BMW to really "get it right". If they put the N54 in this thing, shed about 400 pounds from the curb weight of the 135, and made it look like this picture......
This could be a chance for people that really enjoy the feeling of a small, light, fast car...which is sort of what the 135 is. Unfortunately, I assume BMW will head more down the road of the new Z4, which looks like a bloated chick car.....
I much prefer the look of my dad's 07 M coupe to the new Z4. I hope the Z2 doesn't garner the same bloated fate....the older design is much more striking and menacing......
