1 Series M Coupe
""BMW continues to tease us with limited details about the upcoming new M product based on the young 1-Series.
"BMW M Division has a history of creating some of the most amazing performance-luxury cars in existence, so it is exciting news to hear they have turned their efforts to building what could perhaps be the most affordable M Series, yet.
As far as the details, there are few and mysterious, and the answers given by M Division simply serve to inspire more questions. What we know is that the 1-Series M Coupe (now confirmed as the official name) will be a car “focused on the essentials, the fascination of driving and a love for detail”.
Car and Driver magazine was one of the fortunate few to get an early taste of what M is cooking. They were quoted as saying:“Getting the small M into a slight drift seemed as effortless as recovery, and the kick provided by the uprated engine represents a major step above the 135i. Turbo lag is slight and doesn’t significantly detract from the experience. Compared to the M3, you sit lower to the ground, the cabin is more compact, and thus you get a much better sense of speed than in the bigger car.”
In addition to handling characteristics, the 1-Series M Coupe gets a host of other updates, too. The body and track have been widened, the front has a newly styled bumper, a spoiler lip has been added to the rear and quadruple exhausts round out the back. Sport seats, unique trim, and special instrumentation will adorn the cabin and driver’s area.
Truly exciting stuff. Stay tuned to our website for the latest news, as M has promised to deliver more details as we near the year’s end.
