The BMW 1-series is my second favorite BMW behind the M3. Ive been waiting for BMW to come out with an M version of the 1-series for awhile. There has been talk of the model for months now and finally the concept is complete. This segment is a review of the engine from Car and Driver's website, "Under the hood, which notably lacks the signature power bump sported by all other M vehicles, from the M3 to the 5400-pound X5 M, is the great differentiator. Where the M3 packs its screaming 8400-rpm V-8—and where screaming, high-rpm engines are supposed to be an M trademark—the 1-series M coupe is powered by the twin-turbo inline-six of yore. Don’t be too disappointed, though, as output has been ratcheted up to 335 hp and 332 lb-ft of nominal torque. As in the 335is, an overboost function makes 369 lb-ft available for brief spurts. Zero-to-60-mph sprints should take about 4.3 seconds." This little car is a beast. This car hits the streets in the spring with a sticker price around $43,000. I know i'm excited, are you??
