The BMW 1M coupe (not to be mistaken for a BMW M1), is powered by a twin turbo inline 6 engine that delivers 335hp and gives the BMW M3 a run for it's money. It's pretty much the same engine as in the BMW 335i, but modified a bit to deliver 35 more horsepower. Very capable engine. BMW has been on the cutting edge of delivering a car that tuners love to modify while enthusiasts love to drive stock. They cover the best of both worlds, which leaves the BMW prime for the aftermarket.
This particular BMW 1M is tuned by a company called Tuningwerk located in Germany and has been beefed up with more power and better handling than stock. They call it the BMW 1M RS, and it's their entry level car that is considered street legal for the streets of Germany. With a top speed of 186mph, 521 horsepower and 453 torque at only 2800 rpm, this car is a blast to drive.
In addition to creating more power, Tuningwerk also added BMW 1M Coilovers, a new clutch and carbon fiber brake rotors. On the inside, they had Recaro seats and some carbon fiber treatment.
This BMW 1M rides on ATS superlight 19 inch wheels on Dunlop Sport Maxx tires which are 245/35R19 front and 285/30R19 rear. Pretty beefy for a car of this size.
Fun car!
