Our friend and spy photographer Palbay spotted the new BMW 1 Series M Coupe at the BMW Performance Center in South Carolina. The new “baby-M” has recently joined the M fleet at the Performance School and it is available for either one or two days of track time.
Along with the new 1M, BMW aficionados, and not only, will get to enjoy the other M vehicles in the BMW family: M3, E60 M5, M6, X5M and X6M.
From skid pad contests to timed laps and race track exercises, the M vehicles will not only put a smile on your face, but will also make you a better driver.
As a reminder of what you will be working with, the BMW 1M is powered by the N54 twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 engine. For the 1M, the turbocharger, exhaust system, and ECU have been revised to produce 335 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, though up to 369 pound-feet are available temporarily in overboost mode.
