This Valencia Orange BMW 1M is definitely one of the cleanest and classiest examples of this rare performance model from BMW. This particular 1M build was completed by IND Distrubution with E-Fab Motorsports who did all the performance work and custom exhaust. IND installed several high-quality aftermarket parts and completely redefined the outer appearance of this sportscar.
Under the hood, the BMW 1M Coupe uses a re-tuned version of the twin-turbocharged N54 engine which is used in various other models such as the 2011 BMW 335is. The 3.0 liter BMW TwinPower Turbo produces 340 PS (250 kW) at 5900 rpm and 332 lb-ft (450 Nm) torque from 1,500 to 4,500 rpm. An overboost feature brings the total torque to 369 lb-ft (500 Nm).
The only available drivetrain is a six-speed manual gearbox with a limited slip differential. This gives the small 1M an impressive performance allowing it to sprint from 0-62mph (0-100km/h) in just 4.3 seconds. The car comes with an electronically limited speed of 155 mph (250km/h).
This Valencia Orange 1M features a set of BBS FI-R wheels, which remove excess unsprung weight and provide the vehicle with a contemporary update to its exterior. These wheels are some of the lightest and most expensive custom wheels available today, a perfect choice for such a coveted sports car like the 1M. Additionally, a carbon fiber front spoiler, a rear diffuser, several carbon fiber accents and a rear decklid spoiler finish up the build.
