That says 140hp. Some say there was an M-ti but I believe that was only special orders, the rest were sports that had the M-technic style just without the m3 motor.

BMW didnt discontinue the ti till just recently, they had the e46 ti but it wasnt available in the states. Now they have the 1 series which I believe is what took over the ti seeing how its a hatchback, but instead its a 4 door.

I know others are more knowledgeable on this matter then me, but that is what I understand is the reason the ti is no longer made. They just didnt do that well in the states....

In order:

The club sport was the closest the an M that the factory ever made.

No

Because they felt that 4 cyl. cars cheaped the name in the US

138

And the little search button at the top of the page could have easily found all this info.

Oh that link that I posted does talk about the 1-series being the successor.

The Z4 coupe is more like the ti then the 1 series. And they are making a ///M Z4.

I'd put the Z4 coupe more in the category of the Z3 Coupe, and although the Z3 is similar to the ti, they really arent' comparable cars (excepting the 4cyl Z3)

Im talking about looks. The Z4 coupe has similar design to the ti, even more then the Z3 coupe. Its a coupe- hatch instead of a wagon like hatch.
