BMW has just released some new information about the long awaited 1-Series M Coupe, including engine information, release dates, and the toys it will carry.
Under the hood will be the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with 340 horsepower. That motor will be connected to six-speed manual transmission. There will no automatic option with this vehicle. That motor should be more than enough to haul around the car’s 3,307-pound weight.
The M1 will feature a chassis, braking system, and rear differential similar to the M3. In total, that power and these tweaks have made the M1 faster than the E46 M3 around the Nordschleife.
UPDATE 12/13/2010: BMW has also placed an online configurator for the new 1-Series M Coupe. And while the options are quite limited, putting together the coupe is quite entertaining!
UPDATE 12/19/10: Can’t get enough of the 1-Series M Coupe? Yeah, neither can we. It’s a good thing, too because the company has released another video of the new M baby sports car. This time around, the car is compared to one of its predecessors, the BMW M3 E30 Sport Evo. Do check it out after the jump!
