Amazing!
BMW has just announced that there will be no automatic transmission option on the 1-series M! That is how you know BMW is serious about this being a true performance car. On top of that, they finally put the horsepower rumours to rest. The 1-series M will come with 340 horsepower from a 3.0 inline six. No torque numbers are released yet, but expect them to be in the 300 range as well. Drool.
And if all that weren’t enough, it will also have a chasis, braking system and rear differential identical to the M3. BMW claims the 1-series M is faster than the M3 around the Nordschleife track!
BMW has released the image above as well, which is less exciting since it’s still all swirly camo’d out. Expect an official reveal in December.
I am seriously in love. I seriously need this car. And I will seriously sell my soul to own it. Not really. But maybe. Probably.
