Well, it seems very clear right this moment.
BMW must be producing a new 1-Series M-car.
Feast your eyes below, the car has now been spotted with a quad exhaust -- an M trademark -- a serious-looking differential and control arms. Additionally, it still is wearing thick rubber and drilled rotors.
Unless this is some sort of elaborate trick, I think it is safe to say that BMW's number is up.
Thoughts, comments, questions?
Discuss!!!

Any doubt that BMW is preparing to release an M version of the 1-series can now be put to rest. An M1 / 1M prototype with quad exhausts (a signature modern day M car element) has now been spotted. Until now, skeptics have pointed to the lack of quad exhaust as evidence that this is not an M1 / 1M, but some other higher performance 1-series version (i.e. 135is).
The M3 differential and control arms / links are also very evident in these photos...
