Nope

M1 is reserved for historical purposes!

It will be the "1 Series M coupe" IIRC. Or 1M for short.

They will have to make sure it doesn't out perform the M3 in the pub stats; 0-60, etc.

I want to get excited about it, but I can't.
Get used to it.

It seems like all cars will be going this way soon. Even Ferrari have been saying it's likely they will have to resort to it. The days of NA M cars seem numbered.
