German tuner TJ Fahrzeugdesign has recently transformed a BMW 118d Coupe into a 1M replica, developing a massive 555 horsepower.

The tuner company managed to turn the 118d Coupe into a real monster 1M with an inline six-cylinder V10 engine, taken from the previous generation of M5 and M6 models.

The company has managed to raise the car`s power to 555 horses at 8.8 rpm. The 1M has now a rear-wheel drive and a seven-speed SMG transmission.

The 1M is capable of reaching the 0 to 100 km/h sprint in less than 12 seconds. As for the 0 to 300 km/h sprint, the German car could come up with 36 seconds.

The tuner company didn’t rest only on modifications being made under the hood alone, as the TJ Fahrzeugdesign also managed to come up with some other tweaks like the KW Clubsport coilover suspension Variant 3 and the same brakes being put on the X6 M.

More than that, the 1M has also the same suspension being rendered on the M3 E92. The car also comes with a stainless steel exhaust system, with the car sitting on 19-inch rims.

While a renown seller for the Bavarian company, the little 1 Series never really pleased the brand fans until the company came up with the BMW 1M Coupe.

The BMW 1 Series M is mostly made up of the remaining bin parts your favorite Germans had lying around and some people say this as if it’s a problem but there’s one other aspect you should consider when talking about that part of the description sheet.

BMW managed to cram some of the finest parts they have at their disposal into their smallest and lightest available car. With that recipe under consideration who can genuinely complain about what makes up the BMW 1 Series M now?

Underneath, the BMW 1M Coupe is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0 liter straight six engine that develops 335 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. A bold decision comes from the company as the BMW 1M Coupe is only available with a six speed manual gearbox.

Whichever way you analyze the situation the BMW 1M Coupe is a true enthusiast’s car and yet it can still manage some of the regular practicality features of the typical hot hatchback out there.

After living in a world where BMW M3 and M5 have been the automotive journalist favorites for decades, the BMW 1M Coupe does bring a breath of fresh air to our life.
