BMW 1-Series M Coupe UK Version 2011

With the new BMW 1-Series M Coupe, the fascinating driving experience offered by a high-performance sports car is brought to the premium compact segment for the very first time. This gives the BMW M GmbH model range a whole new breadth, introducing additional target groups to the passion for superior performance and to a style defined by outstanding athletic flair. Like every BMW M car, the BMW 1-Series M Coupe combines racing-oriented technology with functionality designed for everyday use and a characteristic visual appearance. In its design, the compact 2-door model reveals the specific M-style aesthetic appeal which authentically expresses the concept features essential for outstanding driving dynamics.
The dynamic proportions with which the BMW 1-Series Coupe proclaims a quality of driving pleasure unique within the competitive field provide the perfect foundation for the instantly fascinating appearance of the first ever high-performance model in the compact segment. With its long bonnet, short front overhang, rear-set passenger cell, long wheelbase and flowing transition of the roof line into a flat rear, the BMW 1-Series M Coupe has all the typical features of a BMW coupe. The realisation of these features in a vehicle of the compact class creates a distinctive overall impression which conveys activity and agility. Measuring 4,380 millimetres in length and 1,420 millimetres in height, the BMW 1-Series M Coupe is both the shortest and the flattest model in the BMW M GmbH range. It is also 55 millimetres wider than the BMW 135i Coupe: the width of 1,803 millimetres is the result and the expression of a track width at the front and rear axle optimised to enhance driving dynamics in a way which is specific to this model.
