BMW 1-Series M Coupe is finally out in the open!

This is the hottest version of the 1-Series that has been a long time approach. Called the 1-Series M Coupe it’s clear (from the posed images) that BMW sees it as the spiritual heir to the original E30 BMW M3 as they’re closer in size (just 33 mm longer but much wider) and the M3 has grown greatly through the years.
The M Coupe is powered by the twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre inline-6 from the Z4 sDrive35is making this the first auto by M division that uses a standard production engine. The all-aluminum N54 locomotive puts out 335 hp at 5900 rpm and 450 Nm of torque from 1500 to 4500 rpm. An overboost relation adds 50 Nm at full pelt. discriminate is at 7000 rpm.

The quickest One does 0-100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds on to a 250 km/h limited top focal ratio. A close ratio 6-speed manual gearbox transfers drive to the rear steering wheel. As comparison the 420 postscript M3 Coupe (with DCT) sold here does the century sprint in 4.6 seconds so the gap is fair  three tenths of a second.

To stop the car the 1495 kg M Coupe’s brakes are M3 level says BMW. The internally-vented cross-drilled cast branding iron discs measure 360 mm in diameter up front and 350 mm at the back. Each disc is connected  to a floating aluminum hub by cast-in stainless-steel pins to reduce heat. The condition of the brake linings can be checked from the elan display. The wheels look familiar? They are 19-inch items from the M3 contention Package and M3 GTS wrapped with 245/35 rubber up front and 265/35 rear tyres.

Looks wise the front is henpecked by three large air intakes. The central one is covered by a honeycomb grille while the two outer intakes are left  completely open. The right one feeds air travel directly to the engine oil cooler and the left hole supplies the supplemental coolant radiator. On the sides you’ll find trademark M chrome gills and organ mirrors that have the same shape as the M3′s. The rear end sports a lip spoiler side openings on the mechanical device and quad pipes – two on each side. The front and rear lamps have little changes too – LED eyebrows for the Adaptive Xenons and L-shaped rear elements.

If you’re wondering this car is 5mm longer and fifty-three mm wider than a 135i Coupe. The tracks are 71 mm wider up front and forty-six mm wider in the rear. Widened fenders and rear quarter panels were needful to accommodate the tracks. There’s no option of a object roof which saves 15 kg and lowers the centre of gravity.
The 1 Series M Coupe comes with Air Curtains which were previewed on the Vision EfficientDynamics concept from Frankfurt 2009 and used location for the first time in a production car. It workings to improve air flow around the wheel arches and significantly reduces turbulence. AC consists of openings in the outer section of the lower fore fascia that route high-pressure air through ducts at each fore corner.

The ducts (approximately 10 x 3 cm wide) are designed to channel air to openings at the front end of each wheel arch where it is discharged through a very narrow opening at high speed. This air stream covers the unit of the front wheels like a curtain reducing turbulence. There’s no Air Curtain for the buttocks wheels and the buttocks openings are for style.

Lastly the cabin is in dark Alcantara with orange contrast stitching artifact the door panels door pulls instrument cluster binnacle dash panel and gearshift and handbrake lever boots. You’ll also get an M-specific instrument constellate with gray dials red pointers and white backlighting. More M logos can be establish on the driver’s footrest and door sills.
