You already saw the BMW 1 Series M Coupe on a race track. Now you can see the first shapes and the colors of what BMW is calling a prototype 1 series M couple. BMW is going to be slowly pealing off more of the car cover until the final shape of the ///M 1 series is shown. While BMW is calling this a prototype the production cars tend to look exactly the same so what they're showing off is more or less what will hit the showrooms. What do you think of the color and the bulging front fender?
Thanks to www.BimmerFile.com for these details:
* The color is Valencia Orange Metallic, a new color exclusive to the 1M
* The engine is N54 based
* The 1M will be manual transmission only
* Those are the M3 Competition Package wheels
* The front air intake is pretty similar to the M3's, but even more pronounced
* The side skirts are also much like the M3's in shape
* The side vents will be 'outrageous' compared to the other M cars
* Some minor detail in the revealed area of the M1 will be changed.
* The rear valance will have vents above the exhaust that protrude out and are angled slightly inward
* There's an oil-cooler in-front of the front left wheel
* The rear-view mirrors will look very familiar to E9X M3 owners
