If you were paying attention a while back, we told you about a limited edition car from Leib Engineering, the so called M3 GT500.
Even though its name might hint at a power output of 500 HP, the modded E92 has only 470 to brag with, thanks to an ECU remap. All other improvements are rather visual than technical and include new shiny rims, a new exhaust and some new brakes, nothing that would make the car go faster.

Its little brother, the 1M Coupe that was often dubbed the 'baby M' might even spell trouble for the V8-powered beast. The video we're showing you today actually confirms that, even though the car is obviously not stock.

We don't really know what lies under the hood of that 1er but whatever it is it made the GT500 look stupid on the drag strip.
