They shouldn’t call this the M1. The M1 needs to be reserved for supercars or performance cars that make a lot of noise and turn heads. Not a budget BMW that’s received treatment from a racing company.
A BMW 1 Series Coupe, prepared by the company’s M division and planned to slot beneath the M3 Coupe was spied during regular runs at the Nurburgring.
Sources have reported that the modified twin-turbocharged six-cylinder packing 349 horsepower will be used on the 1 Series M. The aluminum engine will be coupled to a standard six-speed dual-clutch gearbox with an electronically-controlled rear M differential. With a curb weight of just over 3,300 pounds and making about 310-330 lb-ft of torque, expect a 0-60 time of under 5 seconds.
