The BMW 1 Series M Coupe (often referred to as the “1M”) is the high-performance model of the E82 coupe range, sold under the BMW M performance sub-brand. While BMW naming convention would have called the car the “M1”, an alternate name was chosen to avoid confusion with the 1970s BMW M1 supercar.

At the 2007 Tokyo Auto Show, BMW unveiled the 1 Series tii Concept, which was thought to be a preview of the M version of the 1 Series. However, the eventual 1M model appeared four years later and with significant differences, such as an engine with six-cylinders instead of four.

The 1M was BMW M’s second turbocharged engine (after the S63 V8 which debuted in the X6M). The BMW N54 fitted to the 1M was originally being used in the E89 Z4 sDrive35is and has rated outputs of 250 kW (335 bhp) at 5900 rpm and 450 N⋅m from 1,500 to 4,500 rpm. An additional 50 N⋅m is produced during overboost taking overall peak torque to 500 N⋅m. The sole transmission available was a six-speed manual.

The front and rear track widths were widened by 74 mm and 46 mm respectively and a limited slip differential was used. As a result, the overall width is 1,803 mm. The curb weight is 1,495 kg.

The 1M Coupe placed third in the Evo Magazine 2011 Car of the Year awards. It also featured on Top Gear on 26 June 2011 and recorded a time of 1:25.0 around the Top Gear test track under damp conditions and received “Richard Hammond‘s Car of the Year 2011″ award in the Top Gear magazine.

Delivered new to Sweden and finished in, “Alpinweiss” over a Boston Black leather interior with Orange stitching, and is in a very good condition. The odometer currently indicates only 30,529 km and it’s offered with the aforesaid service booklet, statement manuals and Swedish registration papers.
