Maybe another Alpina?

The D3 Touring is a brilliant car

they're not even going to make the car that the top gear article mentions - a 1-ser coup with a 335i engine

one of those cars that will probably seem smaller in real life than it does in the photos

still not a fan of the 1-ser though, i've had a few shots of a 118d and it's okay but nothing special

All good then? Very nearly. The only black mark against the 1-Series Coupe is that BMW has officially rubbished any suggestion of an M version.

Apparently it doesn't make financial sense: a M1 would cost close to 40 grand - too much for such a small car.

We say forget financial sense, BMW. We like the idea of the 135i but reckon there's a real opportunity for a lightweight special to rival the iconic E30 M3 - and make the M1 the best-handling car in history.
