BMW offered ZERO 1M's in V8 form so this is '1' of "not many" worldwide...
Often regarded as the greatest analogue M car with its small nimble chassis, hydraulic steering, manual transmission and LSD, it has equally been questioned as to why it never got a proper "M Engine"....
We answered that question with our purpose built S65 swapped genuine 1M that has the engine, gearbox and final drive from an E92 M3. The exhaust system has a lightly modified M3 mid-section mated to the factory 1M quad-tip rear section. The gauge cluster has also been modified and swapped in from the M3 to give the correct instrument cluster functions and RPM range suited to the high revving S65 V8. The rest of the car remains as BMW released the 1M from the factory.
It's very hard not to love this car, we promise you that!
Built between May 2011 and June 2012, only 6,309 BMW 1M's were sold (of which approximately 1200 were RHD).
6,342 in total were produced. The difference was used for development and homologation purposes.
This 1M is build number 3580.
