ATT-TEC BMW 1-Series M Coupe

ATT-TEC has unveiled their new tuning program for the BMW 1-Series M Coupe. Looking tastefully restrained, the model is equipped with 20-inch ADV1 5.0 TF wheels that are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. The car also has a KW Dynamic Damping Control coilover kit which reduces the ride height and offers three different damper settings (Comfort, Sport & Sport+). In the future, the company plans to offer a variety of carbon fiber components including a front spoiler, rear diffuser and boot lid. For added performance, the tuner can optimize the ECU to enable the engine to produce 395 bhp (295 kW). For even more power, the addition of a larger intercooler allows the mill to develop 454 bhp (339 kW). Customers can also order an Akrapovic exhaust system and a V-Max removal.

BMW 1M Coupe by G-Power

The tuners at G-Power have decided to develop an upgrade program for the limited edition BMW 1M Coupe. The new exhaust system is 20 percent lighter than the standard one because it’s made from titanium, and it also comes with four carbon or titanium tailpipes. Other changes include the flow-optimized downpipes for lowering exhaust gas temperature, a bigger capacity for the boost cooling system, along with a new engine software.
Thanks to these modifications, the output of the engine has increased from the standard 340 hp (253 kW / 344 PS) to 435 hp (324 kW / 441 PS). The torque figure is also up from 368 lb-ft (500 Nm) to 435 lb-ft (590 Nm). After these upgrades the BMW 1M Coupe can do the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in 4.5 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h).
The vehicle rides on 20-inch G-Power Silverstone alloys with Michelin tires, while the stopping power is provided by the G-Power Braking System with up to six brake pistons and up to 396 mm brake disc diameter.

BMW 1M Coupe GTS-V by Vorsteiner


Vorsteiner will be heading to this weekend's Bimmerfest with their take on the new BMW 1-series M Coupe where it will be showcased for the first time. The model has been dubbed as the Vorsteiner 1M Coupe GTS-V and here are the first full pictures of the completed package. The body kit is the main focus of the update with new carbon fiber front lip that lowers the ride height and also includes integrated brake duct intakes. The rear boot lid has been replaced with a Vorsteiner designed version that incorporates a rear wing and the rear diffuser also gets a more aggressive design. Engineers have also moderately boosted power by 15hp and 5lb-ft of torque with a new full titanium exhaust system with quad tailpipes. This latter feature has been developed so it can be simply bolted onto the factory model without any cutting or welding required.

BMW 1-series by Tuningwerk

Don't be fooled by the racing livery on the BMW 1-Series you see before you. This is a fully street legal car and it packs a hell of a punch. Tuningwerk who reside just around the corner from the Bavarian auto maker has upgraded the 3.0-liter engine to generate a total of 521hp (388kW / 528PS) and 614Nm (453lb-ft) of torque. We are told it will enable a top speed in excess of 300kph (186mph). The tuning modifications include a titanic exhaust system and it also incorporates an upgraded cooling system. The body is treated to a GT4 front lip, engine hood, boot lid and rear spoiler that are all made from carbon fiber. The Recaro PolePosition bucket seats are made from the same lightweight material and contribute to the extreme weight loss. The tuner also adds a set of 19-inch rims that are wrapped by Dunlop Sport Maxx tires and behind them are upgraded 370mm or 380mm carbon ceramic brake discs. The final model is said to be ready to pass FIA admission regulations with only minimal changes.

Press release:

UNCOMPROMISING 1st M RS BMW with 521 HP by TUNINGWERK
The fact that the TUNINGWERK company specializes in BMW models, has geographical grounds, as Puchheim is a catchment area of Munich and probably rather the other way round. The BMW head office is situated in Munich. On the other hand, the question was only in time for the well-acknowledged BMW models that the 1st BMW M-Version would appear. TUNINGSWERK has given it no other name than the 1st M RS.
The motor, also referred to as engine, was completely modified. The transmission of the back axis was shortened up to 3.25 transmission ratios, optionally 3.45 are also possible. As a differential locking it has a suitable for the power to weight ratio Drexler lock. The cooling system was completely modified, including the second oil cooler. The model has a titanic exhaust system. The engine clutch has unconditionally optimized stability, it is well suited for the city traffic, and herewith a racing clutch is possible. But for eventually planned racing some further small modifications for the FIA admission are needed, such as the expansion of the case. There is still much potential in further weight reduction, while the door trims and insulation material is in the original state. GT4 front lip, engine hood, boot lid and also rear spoiler and Recaro seats called PolePosition are made of carbon. It is possible to install doors out of the same material and plastic side glass, however with the full case. The 3-x club sport lorry running gear can be combined with H&R lightweight stabilizers upon request.
The important connection between the vehicle and the road in this case is provided by the forged ATS superlight 9x19 inches rims on the front and 10x19 inches rims - on the back. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with 245/35R19 Dunlop blow-up „Sport Maxx" tyres on the front axis and 285/30R19 ones - on the rear axis. As an alternative, there are also FlowForming Crosslight ATS rims of the same size. The car has installed steel breaking system with discs 370 mm in diameter by Mov'it to take care of the perfect stop, where the 380 carbon ceramic discs are also possible.
Due to this balanced mix of tuning means, the TUNINGWERK succeeded in creating the driving dynamics of an outstanding quality. The six three-liter cylinders with 521 hp or 388 kW enable 614 Nm maximal torque from 2,800 rpm and maximal speed of 300 km/h (depending on the type of tyres!) This 1st M RS BMW by TUNINGWERK is undoubtedly a perfect compromise between the street and the race track.
The car tuning costs including vehicle: 119.000 Euro!

KS1-S based on the BMW 1-Series M Coupé by Kelleners Sport



German tuner Kelleners Sport has had a go at the BMW 1-Series M Coupe and the result is this KS1-S featuring over 400 horsepower.

Although there's no mention of an ECU remapping, that power upgrade is achieved in part by Kelleners Sport's quad-piped (83 mm) stainless-steel sport exhaust with total output now standing at 410 PS (301 kW / 404 bhp) and 550 Nm of torque (405 lb-ft) instead of the series 340 PS (250 kW) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) - an increase of 20 percent.

Kelleners adds an adjustable coilover suspension kit and 20-inch rims in either Hamburg or Berlin design - dimensions 9x20 with 245/30/R20 tires at the front and 10x20 with 265/30/R20 tires at the rear.

For the aerodynamics there's a front spoiler lip and a 3-part MS grill insert made of stainless-steel.

On the inside is a cabin finished in perforated leather and velvet-like Alcantara in contrasting black and white and includes white stitching and the tuner's own logo on the headrests and mats. Other touches include the aluminum pedals and the high-grade velour floor mats.

BMW 1-Series M Coupe tuned by TechTec

German tuner TechTec has a series of power-upgrade stages for the BMW 1-Series M Coupe that can take output up to 450 PS (331 kW / 444 bhp).

But TechTec starts things off slow with an initial stage that will only set you back €1,500 for an extra 40 horses - with total output getting dialed up to 380 PS (280 kW / 375 bhp) and 580 Nm (428 lb-ft) of torque from the series' 250 kW (340 PS / 335 hp) and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) of torque.

For €2,500 TechTec will make that an even 400 PS (294 kW / 395 bhp) for you.

From there, it is only an extra €800 stretch, including a new air cooler, for a power rating of 450 PS (331 kW / 444 bhp) and 630 Nm (465 lb-ft) of torque on the nimble 1-Series M that will make it good for a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time of just 4.1 seconds.

TechTec can also remove the top-speed limit for you and offers a KW club sport suspension as well as a titanium exhaust system from Akrapovic.

BMW 1-Series GTR racer by Senkyr Motorsport


This BMW 1 series Coupe GTR by Czech racing team Senkyr Motorsport is based on the E82 1-Series.

There's a reason it looks so much like an M3 GTR - the 1-Series coupe chassis was used to create a car similar to the Senkyr Motorsport's own E92 M3 GTR (see last 3 photos) by adapting it for the wide body kit featured here.

Powering the 1-Series Coupe GTR is a twin-turbo 3.0 liter inline 6-cylinder engine with a Senkyr intercooler. Total output is 300 kW (408 PS / 402 bhp) at 7200 rpm. Transmission is a 6-speed sequential Holinger RDS6 gearbox.

The racer features a KW Competition 3-way coilover suspension and KW springs.

Wheels are supplied by BBS Motorsport in 10 x 18-inch front and 12 x 18-inch rear wrapped in 270/650/R18 and 300/650/R18 tires, respectively.
