Does anyone know if it's practical or who can up the output of a C1? I'm
guessing that ...

Oh forget it, just checked the site...
http://www.bmw.co.uk/news/index_c1.html 200cc! That'll do nicely sir :-)

Read down to about the 4th Para. "A five-speed Steptronic automatic
transmission takes its power to all four wheels. The driver can control
the gearshift via 'paddles' on the steering wheel with the gearbox in
Steptronic mode. Massive 20 inch wheels carry 225/50 tyres at the front
and 285/45 at the rear adding emphasis to the coupé's assertive
presence. Run flat tyres make a spare wheel and tyre unnecessary."

It's a Car then?

Or how about
"At typical city traffic speeds the C1 200 is 51 per cent faster than the
smaller engined C1"
Cos that makes sense.

Yeah, but imagine 20" wheels with 225/50 tyres at the front and 285/45 on
the rear plus a paddle shift gear shift!

... I wonder if someone will go home for the last time at the BMW news
centre tonight? :-)
