BMW 1M Bears More Skin and Shape - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

Try as they may, BMW can't manage to conceal every last bit of the 1M Coupe. Our members have now spotted the 1M mirrors, carbon fiber diffuser/rear valence, and possibly an aggressive hood design. Scott26 also confirms a carbon fiber roof.

Mirrors, posted by Scott:

Carbon fiber rear diffuser/valence, posted by M3roar:

Possible aggressive hood vents/lines?, posted by niuniu

And there's also the previously discussed front fender vent / cutout.

numba1guju · 08-30-2010, 02:05 PM

no hood vents....those are def just lines...if there are vents that would make the car hideous

Eccentric · 08-30-2010, 02:07 PM

And the puzzle nears completion...

02fireman · 08-30-2010, 02:09 PM

Yeah, I agree. It just looks like more of that metal heat shielding to me.

Jblack4083 · 08-30-2010, 02:39 PM

Thats not carbon fiber. Thats heat shielding

From that picture, looks like they were in such a hurry, the either ripped off, or forgot to secure that left rear fender liner. Look right behind the tire.

I noticed that also. Looks pretty ugly. But I'm sure it's because this is still sort of a "prototype" to a certain extent.

There seems to be something bulging on the hood I circled it in red ...Any ideas?

according to SCOTT the hoot buldges out more rather than the flat look of the original. no hood buldge or vents like the M3.

agh, super secret windshield washer jets?

treehacker · 08-30-2010, 02:50 PM

That is for the water to clean the windshield.

NFIDDY5 · 08-30-2010, 02:58 PM

It would be nice to have a cf rear diffuser from the factory and a cf roof like what is on the E92 M3 coupe.

jayely1 · 08-30-2010, 02:58 PM

Lol wow.....

Muffnbluff · 08-30-2010, 03:00 PM

Where do I get one of those old school members only inspired //M jackets?

Dan@UnitedBMW · 08-30-2010, 03:02 PM

uhn2000 · 08-30-2010, 03:28 PM

nlpamg · 08-30-2010, 03:31 PM
