Sounds like engine hasn't been tweaked much over the same lump in other BM's, peak power of 335bhp at 5900rpm, how dull, buy the 123d!
This is my favourite quote from the promo text... pure comedy

" the 1 Series M Coupe weighs 1495kg !!! unladen ( D'oh !!! ) which is exactly the same as the E46 M3. (Nice & Heavy then ) It has a power/weight of 227hp/tonne or 4.4 kg/bhp, which is pretty well the same numbers quoted for the E46 M3 back in 2002 " ... does that make the 1 Series M Time Travell machine ?
So who's going to the first to mention the single piston callipers on this beast
IMHO this is squarely aimed @ the NEW bread of Estate Agents who don't know any better
