Ook het kleurenpallet is niet helemaal te kiezen, net zoals de Focus RS. BMW zou de 1-reeks M Coupé aanbieden in drie kleuren: lpine White, Jet Black of Valencia Orange Metallic. Allemaal zullen ze komen met een manuele versnellingsbak, dat stelt ons wel tevreden! De foto die we meegeven is een render en dus niet het officiële productiemodel.

De getuige vertelt ons : This will be a very limited production run. BMW will produce 2,700 units worldwide. The US will receive the largest allocation (no exact number was provided). It will be available in three colors. Alpine White, Jet Black and Valencia Orange. It will come in a manual only.

I did see it in person in Valencia Orange. The interior was impossible to see because the windows were blacked out. There were quad-exhaust tips, CSL-style wheels like the ones shown at Oktoberfest, the bumper receives an integrated spoiler a-la M3 CSL, and the now famous side gills like the M3 were on the 1M.

M3: I was not able to get a confirmation from M about the engine but, my gut tells me based on the conversation that the M3 will receive a turbo-6. This is the lighter solution we were looking for. Remember the current V8 is lighter than the S54. BMW M are very aware of the desires of the enthusiast community. The USA is the largest market and is receiving careful consideration in the development of new products. We will not be disappointed.
