One Little Bundle of Craziness: BMW 1M Coupe by PSI

Being built in just 6,331 units, some people might claim that the 1M Coupe is actually a limited-run car. Compare that to the only 740 or so units sold in the US and you start seeing why those people actually make sense.

Considering the limited amounts of small 1M Coupe brilliance, you’d also be inclined to think that altering such a piece of BMW Motorsport jewelry might be considered sacrilege but let’s take a look at the car posted in the gallery below and get back on this subject, shall we?

What you’re looking at is a Precision Sport Industries modified version, fitted with a lot of special bits and pieces that completely changed both its looks and performance.

You can’t miss out on the stance this car has from the moment you lay eyes on it. The BBS FI Titanium wheels look brilliant under those flared wheel arches and sit comfortably under the KW V3 coilovers.

Up front, a Slek front lip splitter makes a statement while the rear bumper received a carbon fibre diffuser right between the Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system tailpipes. On the sides, M Performance mirror covers and complete the package.

Step inside and you’ll find more M Performance parts like the steering wheel, all dressed up in Alcantara. The P3 gauges will keep you always informed about the status of all possible parameters when driving this 1M Coupe.

As for the performance change, an AFE Stage 2 intake, Forge Motorsport intercooler and Evolve Stage 2 tune make sure you never lack power and pedal response.

In the end, a brilliant, custom car emerged from all the dust and sweat going on at PSI, one that wouldn’t find it particularly hard to mess with bigger, meaner M3s. Maybe customizing these rides isn’t such a sacrilege after all.
