Lovely aren't they Shane. I was hooked as soon as I tried one. Slightly lowered, on decent suspension, wheels ever so slightly spaced out, tasty exhaust and a map to 400bhp+......................

Lovely set of photographs the BMW M cars look really great.

The looks of the E92 M3 and 1M Coupe are starting to grow on me a bit.

I am not sure i can get on with the E92 ergonomics - not forcussed around the driver/buttons too small/and the interior is pretty plain.

As someone said i would have preferred if they built the 1M Coupe with the S54B32.

The 1M Coupe apparently as lots of tuning potential. I am not sure about the technicalities how the extra power/torque is achieved. However, would BMW mind you doing this if you bought one within the warranty period?

I can see in years to come there will be none of these 1M Coupes or hardly any left standard.

Yup, I think that's right. Also think it could be one of the last car's of it's type to be offered with a manual transmission. I suspect the next generation of the 1M will only come with a double-clutch transmission.

IMHO the 1M is the best drivers car BMW have produced since the CSL.

There's a few about already, you'll pick up a lot cheaper in 6/12 months

One here for 40K

I'm still not wild about the looks and it's just about a 4 seater if your rear passengers are sooty and sweep
