"Whither tii? Not long ago we heard that plans to launch tii - a high-performance performance subsidiary for 1 and 3 series models - had been put on hold. But now come rumors about a 120i and 135i both powered by twin-turbo engines with four and six-cylinders respectively. Scuttlebutt has both cars sporting carbon-fiber roofs and trunk lids, upbraded suspensions and brakes, and special body components. There's no definiteve word yet about designations - or if they will be sold here. Productions begins in mid-1020."
