BMW 1-Series Spotted with CSL-Style Carbon Roof

Could it be that BMW is readying an M-prepped "tii" variant of its current-generation 1-Series hatchback? Well, despite the fact that we do not have any such information from our Bavarian insiders, a reader of Car Magazine, Rainer Wargitsch, captured this Munich license-plated BMW 1-Series three-door hatchback with a carbonfibre rooftop. As a rule, BMW reserves this feature for its "M" division sport cars like the previous M3 CSL and the latest M3 and M6 models.

We're not in the habit of running into conclusions without any hard facts, but we could agree with the folks over at Car Magazine that claim that BMW might be preparing a sportier, limited-run version of the 1-Series hatch (quite possibly, based on the twin-turbocharged 135i) in the likes of the previous-generation M3 CSL.
