That means no limited slip and no true ///M car. Also, those numbers seem awful fishy, considering the considerably heavier E46 M does 0-60 in 4.6, a 1 series with teh same engine should be doing at least close to that. They also know very well not to use the M1 name on anything but another remake of the legendary supercar. I could see smaller framed track monster w/ the new M3 V8 being made as an M1 using the 1 series chassis.... but that's just speculation.
