is there going to be a performance model, pkg, or tii from the factory, or just dealer installs?

I might like that 3er better than the M3 sedan. Those wheels/seats/aero kit are stunning. This looks even better than the E46 ZHP. Great work BMW.

Notice how they showed an exact tie between the 1 and 3 in the race? Haha, they don’t want to pick favorites.

Has anyone seen this? Could this be the rumored 355hp upgrade? http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Content/Accessories/BMWPerformance/BMWPerformanceEngineKitandDifferential.aspx

I hope BMW simplifies things and offers a performance package to keep the price down.

No doubt about the wheel and the seats, both very sweet looking options. I however am betting that much like the JCW Recaro seats we will never see them in the States, sure hope I am wrong on that.

Nick those are the same seats as the tii concept used but the total lightweight package (such as the carbon fiber hood) is never going to come as a complete package. I however would love to see the tii make it to production however think Gabe has already said on multiple occasions that the tii was not making it to production.

No i’m pretty sure they’re tii…..check out the identical seats in this video that were in the 1 Series tii concept. this video has pretty much validated of all the tii rumors over the past few months

That wheel is sick, I am just trying to figure out all the digital displays on it.. BMW is taking what they learned from JCW and running with it; just a shame the market conditions are much different now and they are finally releasing this stuff. I am sure these bits are very costly. I can not even fathom what they are going to be asking for those seats….

No tii still just add on bits, still not a bad idea at all for BMW to do this since its been a outstanding success for Mini.
