1 series M Version

[zainm3]

So a freaind of mine tells me an M version of the 1series will be showcased
Soon,go google It abit and it looks like it really is going to happen
Really exicted about this one have any of u heard or seen some pics or stats on this one

Yes, 1 Series M is happening. International launch is early next year. Only pics I have so far are still heavily disguised, but think of a normal 135i Coupe with 4 exhausts and a more aggressive aerodynamic kit and you pretty much have the idea. It will use the current N55 Twin Scroll Turbo motor, with outputs suggested at 260-270 kW with the normal M treatment to the drive train.

i read they will be using n54 in the M car
Will have to wait and see.. There is a topic on it somewhere on the forum

damn i chipped a 135 over the weekend and its pocket rocket of note :excited:
So can only imagine the m version!

 

[Rennzport]

probably not as quick as a modded 135

The 1 u chipped.. Is it black perhaps?
Had this punk tailing me on the m5 ystrday.

 

[nomercy]

Will def have the n54 motor, m suspention, m-dct box and lsd!!!
Interior gets m3 seats and dash!
265kw is what I heard, so modded 135s will kill it!!!

 

[Rennzport]

price will probably be in the 550-600 range?

 

[zainm3]

Moded 135s will kill it but what about when the guys mod m1

 

[Rennzport]

if the engine and all hardware is the same, then they arent gna get quicker than current modded 135s

 

[zainm3]

That would be a shame now. , wudnt it?

 

[Rennzport]

indeed it would
Maybe they should fit other turbos to it

Why would bmw fit a N54 engine to a car that currently has a N55 engine :thinking:

Nope its white

The N54 won't be fitted. The car is a N55. The media got confused with the twin-charged on the N55 which is a single twin-scroll turbo and then carried on quoting it as a twin turbo. Via the grape fine the internet then branded the car a twin turbo.

Any ideas what the changes are going to be ?

Will be a nice parts bin for normal E82 customers to mod their N55 :thumbsup:
