LEIB Engineering has announced their latest project based on BMW 1-Series M Coupe. The small and powerful Bavarian car comes with styling and performance upgrades.
The exterior boasts full foil cover in a matte grey into which a chequered plate look and the logos of the companies involved with the project were integrated three-dimensionally by streetworkz customz from Morschwil. There is also a Alpha-N tail diffuser and carbon rear spoiler trunk lid also partially covered with foil. The extended wheel arches of the 1-Series M are filled by 10J x 20” Bavaria BC5 Concave wheels with Yokohama Advan sports tyres 255/30 R20 at the front and 275/30 R20 at the rear axle. Matching the installed Bilstein B16 PSS10 threaded chassis, the single-part light-metal wheel rims are powder-coated in a noticeable baby blue.
The twin-turbocharged 3.0 liter I-6 engine is boosted to 400HP (298 kW) and 560Nm (413 lb-ft) – an increase of 60HP and 60Nm. The result is thanks to an ECU re-map and a Supersprint sports exhaust system. Stage II includes bigger turbochargers, completely revised cooling and exhaust systems. The expected result is more than 500HP (367 kW) and 600Nm (442 lb-ft).

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!
BMW 1-Series M once again proved, that it is amazing small sports car. It managed to outrun the bigger and more powerful E92 M3 around Hockenheimring circuit in Germany. Sport Auto took a stock 1 Series M Coupe and let it race against a current-generation (E92) M3 with ZCP competition package and dual-clutch transmission.
Finally, BMW has released full information and details about 1-Series M Coupe. The car really “embodies the unmistakable M feeling in a highly concentrated form.”
