To create a new dimension of sports-style compact vehicle developed for everyday use, BMW has unveiled the 1-Series M Coupe. This 2-door model will come to embody the unmistakable M feeling in a highly concentrated form, with outstanding sporty flair resulted from the athletic character of its body design.

The 1-Series M Coupe uses in-line 6-cylinder engine with M TwinPower Turbo and petrol direct injection that develops a maximum output of 250 kW/340 bhp with an engine-speed-oriented characteristic curve typical of BMW M cars. The engine offers acceleration in 4.9 seconds from zero to 100 km/h and reaches the 200 km/h mark after 17.3 seconds.

The M TwinPower Turbo Technology used in the BMW 1 Series M Coupe consists of two relatively small superchargers which, because of their low inertia moment, are active even at low engine speeds, each providing three cylinders with compressed air. The transmission of propulsion power in the BMW 1 Series M Coupe is taken care of by a 6-speed manual transmission.

BMW 1 Series M Coupe is the shortest and the flattest model in the BMW M range, measuring 4,380 millimeters in length and 1,420 millimeters in height. It is 55 millimeters wider than the BMW 135i Coupe.

The BMW 1 Series M Coupe is fitted as standard with bi-xenon headlamps. The twin circular headlights characteristic of the brand are truncated in the upper section by an LED-fed positioning light. The exterior paint finishes Alpine White non-metallic; Sapphire Black metallic and the exclusive Valencia Orange metallic are available to be matched with the standard 19-inch M light alloy wheels in Y-spoke design.
