BMW Sends Draped 1 Series M Coupe for a Photo Shoot in Paris

Image
Welcome to another round of insignificant teaser pictures of BMW's upcoming 1 Series M Coupe . This time, the Bavarians took a pre-production version of the high-performance compact coupe over to the Arc de Triomphe, just off the Place Charles de Gaulle in Paris, for a quick photo shoot. Once again, the car was fully wrapped so nothing really new to see here. And before you ask, we don't know anything about the man or the young woman posing with the car. BMW hasn't really given out any specific details about the car, but we do know it will be powered by a turbocharged straight six producing somewhere around 350-ponies with the Germans also hinting that it's meant to be a spiritual successor to the original E30 M3 of the late 1980s / early 1990s. The newest member of BMW's 'M' model family is scheduled to be launched into the market sometime next year. _______________________________ GALLERY _______________________________

2011 BMW 1-Series M Coupe Realistically Rendered

Image
Talented photoshop artist ' Alpine325Ci ' from the 1Addicts bimmer forums is at it again. This time he created a very realistic CGI of the upcoming BMW 1-Series M Coupe based on what we've seen of the car up until now in the official teaser videos . If you want our opinion, the wheels need to be a bit larger (especially the rear set), but other than that, the rendering looks pretty accurate. The smallest member of BMW's family of 'M' models will enter production in a limited run next year. Official intel on the mechanics remain scarce, though it is believed that the car will get a tweaked version of the 135i's 3.0-liter turbocharged straight six producing somewhere in the vicinity of 330-350 horsepower.
