BMW has released official details and images of this highly anticipated sports coupe from the Motorsports division of BMW.
BMW 1 Series M Coupe carries Z4 35iS' 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged straight-six, which produces 335-horsepower at 5,900 rpm, with the redline set at 7,000 rpm. There's also 332 lb-ft (450 Nm) of torque available from 1,500 rpm to 4,500 rpm, while an overboost function briefly increases this by another 37 lb-ft (50 Nm) to 369 lb-ft.Power is directed only through a standard 6-speed manual transmission, which is the way we had hoped things would remain. The 1 Series M Coupe comes with a secret weapon in the form of a deadly punch ‘overboost’ function, that when enabled, would briefly produce an additional 37 lb-ft of torque totaling 369 foot-pounds. This would give the little M coupe the ability to sprint to 60mph from a standstill in 4.7 seconds. Quarter mile times come in at 13.2 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph.
