Powerbeast's 1M coupe is no stranger to attention, having been featured as one of our BMWs of the month recently. But, it's about to get as much attention as an 1M coupe can, having donned a Dakar Yellow coat as its newest wardrobe choice.

Dakar Yellow was last offered by BMW as a standard color for the Z3 M roadster/coupe but we still see it from time to time on late model BMWs from enthusiasts looking to give their cars a unique color, either by ordering it via BMW Individual or painting/wrapping in the aftermarket. HERE are some examples - mostly M3s.

Now for the details. Here's the official specs/modifications list for Powerbeast's 1M:

This. By the way, that car has Michelin PSS as well, could be added to that seemingly infinite list of mods.

M///1rider · 04-13-2012, 11:59 AM

Omg !! Ive alrdy seen some pics bc i have eisner m on instagram but its sweet!!!!

Maximus_Prime · 04-13-2012, 12:04 PM

LOOKS AMAZING!! Great work!

+1 on interior shots though. I was under the impression we were going to see yellow stitching but I definitely see orange next to that Akra button. And the seats look like the OEM seats, not the BMW performance seats?

NjSant · 04-13-2012, 12:05 PM
