To actually get board approval for this car , The project team had to do a lot of arm twisting especially this late in the day, had the original idea of an E82 M happened much sooner then we would not be so limited in scope and execution.

How much sooner are you talking about?
I seem to recall you (or someone else with your name), talking on this forum about the M1 as far back as April '07.

Surely it doesn't take BMW that long to get around to developing an M car. If the 1M Coupe is brought over in April 2011, that will be 4 years from the referenced post, to delivery. Surely BMW thought about an M version long before then (April '07).
Sorry for calling you Shirley.
