BMW have finally given us some significant facts and photos on the new 1-series M Coupé.
The teaser series have finally ended and the spiritual successor to the original M3 has shown itself. Lets get straight to the paper facts, power comes from a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine churning out 335 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. Hooked up to a six-speed manual transmission, the car does 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 250 km/h. If people who only care about efficiency, the car has a average fuel consumption 24.5 mpg US and CO2 emissions 224 g/km.Around the track you want speed and control so BMW have given the car an aluminum-intensive suspension consisting of a double pivot front axle and a five-link rear. The car is also fitted with M differential which "responds to differences in rotational speeds in the right and left rear wheel, redirecting drive torque within a fraction of a second.".
Still not impressed and want more? Well the 2012 BMW 1-series M Coupé gets technology like Dynamic Stability Control, Antilock Brakes (ABS), Anti-Slip Control, Dynamic Brake Control, and Cornering Brake Control.If you care more about looking good, the car gets a new body kit with flared wheel arches and an aggresive bumper, 19-inch light-weight alloy wheels and bi-xenon headlights with LED "eyebrows". The 1-series M Coupé will only come with three exterior color choices: Alpine White, Black Sapphire Metallic and Valencia Orange Metallic.
The car will be priced at €50,500 and sale will start in Germany in May.
