Though BMW will be offering the 1 Series M Coupe with various options, the one thing that the set of wheels will miss out on is the Moonroof. This would be a disappointment for many vintage BMW lovers. But the move of eliminating the Moonroof is a wise one by BMW in order to reduce the overall weight of the Coupe by 35 pounds or 15.8 kilograms. According to Drive On, the Coupe barring the Moonroof will have a lower center of gravity which will offer more stability to the car at higher speeds. The 1 SeriesM Coupe is expected to run on a twin-turbocharged in-line six cylinder engine which is going to deliver at least a power output of 340 hp along with a torque output of 450 Nm. This configuration will power the car to race up to the 100 km/h (62 mph) from rest in a mere matter of 4.9 seconds.
The car is expected to hit the showrooms in the spring of 2011. The coupe will run on the standard 18 inch 5 spoke wheels (which will be the minimum till date for an M1 Coupe). Buyers may also opt for 18 inch Competition wheels with the car. The M1 model will be flanked by an M-designed side vents and side sills, along with a bulged hood in front of the car. This is bound to give the car a more bullish look on the roads.
