BMW M1 given the green light (I think)

I read this article on Autocar and it says BMW are releasing a 350hp 1 series in an M guise. And it is direct competition for the Audi RS3 (well if there will ever be one). What do you all think:

would be interesting to see if they did eventually call it the "M1" since they recently did an M1 concept:

It does look quite nice. BMW's are solid, very well made, but I just could not live with that interior, it is shambolic.

Looks truly awful IMO.
Although I have no doubt it will be a riot to drive, go like stink, and be a very desirable car.

I think it looks nice, expect it will be hugely expensive though!!!

Audi needs to get their act together and get the Audi RS3 out

The steering wheel on that Astra is horrid! Looks like the wheel they had on Novas back in the day..

That is a sea of ghastly plastic, and what the hell is that silver sided hockey puck below the gearstick?
