BMW M1 / 1M prototype finally spotted with signature M quad exhaust! - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

Any doubt that BMW is preparing to release an M version of the 1-series can now be put to rest. An M1 / 1M prototype with quad exhausts (a signature modern day M car element) has now been spotted. Until now, skeptics have pointed to the lack of quad exhaust as evidence that this is not an M1 / 1M, but some other higher performance 1-series version (i.e. 135is).

The M3 differential and control arms / links are also very evident in these photos.

Awesome! For any remaining skeptics, this should end the M1 vs. 135is debate.

The left sided cut out is larger than the right side (obviously not the final production version) which gives a nice peak at the the rear suspension. Now we need more detailed info on the engine.

Carstello · 05-10-2010, 03:41 AM

Maybe time to change my M3E46 when the 1M arrives

skoot3r · 05-10-2010, 03:41 AM

the pipes on the drivers side look out of place. But still looks cool!

treehacker · 05-10-2010, 03:49 AM

Now we need some sound check ;-)

e46monk3y · 05-10-2010, 03:50 AM

Would've preferred the duals, less weight

..

looks good nonetheless

BMW86 · 05-10-2010, 03:52 AM

I'm gonna be jealous when this comes out

Thanks for sharing!

treehacker · 05-10-2010, 03:55 AM

On the first picture you can see that the shape of the door has changed. its looks very patchy on the side between the front fender and the door....

Jcrewsn · 05-10-2010, 04:02 AM

I wonder if this exhaust will fit the 135i? That would be neato

1ToBeOn2Wheels · 05-10-2010, 04:12 AM

I still think dual center exhaust (like Boxster/Cayman) would fit the proportions of the car better, and really set it apart from the entire lineup. Not to mention the homage it would pay to the 2002.

It'll look great regardless, I'm sure.

Evice · 05-10-2010, 04:22 AM

wohooo.. alll the stupid skeptics... go have some coffee.. probably next you are gonna point out the windshield wipers are not M, so this is not an M car.(!)

Right, time to email this page to my dealer and place a deposit!

Harold Wood · 05-10-2010, 04:54 AM

Slowly the beast is revealed,great post!

fatjoez · 05-10-2010, 05:19 AM

i see no photos, just filenames

ciomas · 05-10-2010, 05:39 AM

now lets see some carbon on that roof ;]

ihyln · 05-10-2010, 06:19 AM

still no hood bulge thank god. that would have looked stupid on this car.

Redline · 05-10-2010, 06:30 AM

i would like a power dome hood....like the one in the nicely red photoshopped one.

Levi · 05-10-2010, 06:51 AM

I was 97 % sure it was going to happen so. Slowly be slowly we shall see hood, trunk, CF roof, mirrors, rims...........
I cannot wait for Akrapovic titan exhaust for M1.

Haywood · 05-10-2010, 07:07 AM

It's fake, it's fake...Photoshop'd, Photoshop'd!!! j/k!

Can't wait to own one!

Thanks for finally ending this stupid 135is NONSENSE!!!

M1 lives!!!

Levi · 05-10-2010, 07:18 AM

It is good it gets quads. It will make 135i to M1 conversion more hard.
