  • BMW 1M on 20″ Vossen VVS-CV3 Concave Wheels [HD video]

    Vossen Wheels equipped the BMW 1-Series ///M with enormous VVS-CV3 concave wheels in dimensions 9J x 20” at the front and 10.5J x 20” at the rear. The rims are finished in nice matte silver machined paint and according to our opinion looks SICK!

    Do not bother about the small 1-Series rolling those enormous wheels, because under the hood there is a mighty twin-turbo 3.0 liter inline six-cylinder with 340PS (250 kW) and 500Nm (369 lb-ft) of torque connected to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Rumors said, that the 1-Series ///M is faster around race tracks than the brutal M3 with V8 under the hood.

    The 1-Series ///M is just 1495 kg (3295 lbs). 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 17.3 seconds. Top speed – 250 km/h (155 mph) and fuel consumption – 9.6 liter/100 km with CO2 emission of 224 g/km.

    BMW 1-Series M Coupe comes with DSC, ABS, ASC, DBC and CBC. The breaking system is just staggering – internally-ventilated cast iron discs – that measure 360mm front and 350mm rear.

    The price is €50 500.

    Enjoy the video.
