BMW 1-Series M Coupe to get 335 horsepower!

A forum member at 1addicts.com has somewhat found an official BMW product sheet while performing research on an ECU flash upgrade. The product sheet is said to contain information about the upcoming 1-Series M Coupe from BMW. Apparently the sheet indicated that the pocket rocket outputs 335hp from its twin-turbo N54B3OTO 6-potter. This figure, if it’s true anyway is 33hp more than the less potent but already powerful 135i.

Furthermore the member also found out that the US-spec 1-Series M Coupe has 445hp which is 110hp more than the above-mentioned Euro-spec. There have been times where different regions get different states of tunes from the same engine but don’t you think 110hp is a little too much? If it’s true, the difference in power could well be due to an ECU flash upgrade.

There is also indication that BMW is planning a 135iS for 2012. This model is likely to have 304hp which is less than the 335hp Z4 sDrive35iS. Back to the 1-Series M Coupe. BMW has released a new video showcasing a closed test drive event involving 12 lucky BMW enthusiasts and the 1-Series M Coupe.

Not only that the participants got to taste the powerful coupe, but they also managed to have a quick at the production version. The video also contains ‘positive’ testimonials from the participants which isn’t surprising if you ask me. Continue reading to watch the video.
