The E82 1M Coupe is one rare car. Initially scheduled for only 2,700 unit, the widespread popularity of the Bimmer convinced the German company to build a couple more so in the end 6,331 such cars were built.
Even so, the 1M is a rare car, and a limited edition model so seeing one modified might seem like a sacrilege but it all depends on who did it. We already saw what Leib Engineering can do but we weren't so impressed back then.

This time, the BMW they created is truly impressive and, weirdly enough, quite appealing. The Coupe was covered in a thin layer of Matte Grey vinyl by the guys from Streetworkz customz that even added their own logo to the mix.

Other changes include the hard to miss 20 inch blue rims from Bavaria Wheels, Alpha-N rear diffusor, extended wheel arches and M Performance boot lip. That's not all though.

Of course performance was bound to be increased so the options include a program that will take the engine up to 400 HP and 560 Nm (413 lb-ft) of torque or even further to 500 HP and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) of torque with bigger turbochargers.

Fortunately for us, we already spotted the Leib Engineering creation on a drag race against its brother the GT500 M3 but at the moment we didn't know exactly what kind of car that was. Now that we know, the race's result makes a lot more sense.
