The tuners at G-Power have decided to develop an upgrade program for the limited edition BMW 1M Coupe. The new exhaust system is 20 percent lighter than the standard one because it’s made from titanium, and it also comes with four carbon or titanium tailpipes. Other changes include the flow-optimized downpipes for lowering exhaust gas temperature, a bigger capacity for the boost cooling system, along with a new engine software.
Thanks to these modifications, the output of the engine has increased from the standard 340 hp (253 kW / 344 PS) to 435 hp (324 kW / 441 PS). The torque figure is also up from 368 lb-ft (500 Nm) to 435 lb-ft (590 Nm). After these upgrades the BMW 1M Coupe can do the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in 4.5 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h).
The vehicle rides on 20-inch G-Power Silverstone alloys with Michelin tires, while the stopping power is provided by the G-Power Braking System with up to six brake pistons and up to 396 mm brake disc diameter.
