BMW 1M will never be forgotten and we BMW petrol heads will always cherish its true value and attribute it one of the most iconic models ever built by BMW. It is that sports car that will be always appreciated, loved as a genuine piece of German engineering. Its value and symbol will live on.

A lot of carmakers are paying their tribute when it comes to customizing a one-off BMW 1M and Vossen Wheels tuner is the latest to have wrapped the sports car with their dedicated set of alloy wheels.

We are dealing here with the high-performance Vossen VFS-1 wheels, which make this Alpine White 1M even more aggressive.

To make its look even more spectacular, the aftermarket specialists from Vossen have also added a black vinyl to the roof, the model now being in a perfect color balance with the wheels. Add up the new black side mirrors, kidney grille and rear diffuser and you have one of the most exotic and perfect 1M rides ever leaving an aftermarket shop.

As expected, Vossen Wheels have left the engine intact, this Alpine White BMW 1M still packing the same N54 twin-turbo 3.0-liter with BMW TwinPower Turbo, which develops no less than 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, available between 1,500-4,500 rpm.

The power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission with a slip-limited differential, allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, a worthy performance that can be compared to today`s BMW M3 and M4. The topping stands at 250 km/h.

Enjoy the phot gallery released by Vossen Wheels tuner and don’t forget to show your appreciation towards this gorgeous BMW 1M by sharing your comments with us!

The California-based tuner is coming back into the spotlights with its latest project carried out on the iconic BMW 1M.

We are dealing here with a splendidbody style make-over, this Alpine White BMW 1M receiving a carbon fiber aero kit, consisting of a new front splitter, rear diffuser, trunk spoiler, as well as a new hood with the functional vents.

The entire body style is now complemented by the new 19-inch BBS FI alloy wheels, all wrapped in Michelin rubbers. The cabin of this 1M features the track BMW Performance Seats.

In the engine department, the BMW 1M is also looking fresh with the new goodies, the aftermarket specialists from EAS adding the Gruppe M Intake, BMW Oil Catch Can, Evolution Racewerks Chargepipe, Forge Intercooler, PTF Custom Map as well as the Akrapovic Full Eshaust System with Catless Downpipes.

The BMW 1M uses an upgraded 3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo, with 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, enough to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, at a topping of 250 km/h.

The BMW 1M is that iconic model that has been released on the market in just 6309 models, the model being so rare that it now costs more than the original price tag set in 2011. Unfortunately, for this one, EAS has not revealed the price.

The iconic and legendary BMW 1M is far away from being pulled over in a dusty garage, as more and more tuning companies are taking advantage of this extraordinary model and wrap it with unique and stand-out tuning packages.

It is also the case of the iND Distribution tuner which has given this BMW 1M its true identity. First off, the tuner wrapped it with the gorgeous Valencia Orange exterior, followed by a one-off carbon fiber aero kit, with a new front spoiler, carbon fiber accents, customized rear decklid spoiler and a few more with that.

The overall body kit is complemented by the new set of BBS FI-R wheels, which are also made of lightweight materials, providing our 1M with a greater stance and aggressive look.

In the engine department, this Valencia Orange BMW 1M is also looking fresh, thanks to some upgrades brought to its N54 twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter engine, which is now producing 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque.

The engine is hooked to a six-speed manual gearbox fitted with a limited slip differential, which means that the sports car is capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in an impressive 4.3 seconds, at a topping of 250 km/h.

The BMW 1M is that iconic model that has been released on the market in just 6309 models, it is so rare that it now costs more than the original price tag set in 2011, it is so special that the ADV.1 Wheels tuning company grabbed it and fitted it with some cool set of wheels.

But apart the cool set of wheels, the ADV.1 Wheels have also wrapped this BMW 1M with the exquisite Dark Grey exterior finish, along with some slight mods carried out at the body as well as under the hood.

This one right here is coming with an upgraded 3.0-liter N54 twin-turbocharged unit, developing 335 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, meaning that it is capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, at a topping of 250 km/h.

The BMW 1M is still hunted on the roads, with a lot of people desperately paying exorbitant amounts of money, just to add it to their car collection, and the reason is pretty clear: it has gained the hearts of both Europeans and Americans, thanks to its agile and sporty look, high-performance under the hood and extraordinary stance.

The BMW 1M is still in the favors of a lot of aftermarket shops and receives a lot of new and special body style programs, and that thanks to the sports car`s extraordinary body language which still impresses us today, four years after it was decided to be put off the production.

This BMW 1M seen here in the photo gallery wrapping the Long Beach Blue exterior color, has also received the “gentle touch” of the Carbon Fiber Dynamics tuning company, which has fitted the iconic model with a carbon fiber body kit.

The BMW 1M by Carbon Fiber Dymanics can be seen wearing the carbon fiber front spoiler and front splitter, rear diffuser, rear spoiler as well as the same carbon fiber on the roof. Other elements include the powerdrome hood found on the M3 as well, along with the lowering spring kit and the sport exhaust system.

In the engine department, we are not sure if this BMW 1M has received any upgrades, but judging by the powerdrome hood, we might guess that the power has been raised with a remapped ECU, reaching an estimated 400 horsepower.

In the stock form, the BMW 1M unveiled in 2011, is coming with 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, capable of reaching 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, via a six-speed manual with a limited slip differential. The model now costs more than used to four years ago, meaning that you might have to pay around $62,000 as opposed to the starting price of $41,135 in 2011.

The legendary BMW 1M is popping up in our news again, after receiving some cool performance features from the famous European Auto Source tuning company. This is their latest tune-up project, after upgrading the top of the line M235i model from the 2-Series.

The BMW 1M has received a lot of goodies made entirely from carbon fiber, but the main part is the carbon fiber Gruppe M intake, specially manufactured in Japan, which adds up a performance statistics to the sports car. The new carbon intake comes with the high-flow K&N air filter which “increase flow and efficiency and captures contaminants.”

As a reminder, the BMW 1M has first seen the daylight back in 2011, being considered one of the most attractive and appreciated BMW models, with prices that have increasingly raised, now the model costing $61,670, compared to the base $46,135, back in 2011.

The stock BMW 1M also comes with 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque under the hood, hooked to a six-speed manual with limited slip differential, capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in around 4.8 seconds. We have no performance detailing concerning the upgrades carried out to the unit, after receiving the carbon fiber intake.

Unfortunately, the BMW carmaker has decided to put the 1M on the stand, in June 2012, after being successfully sold in 6309 models, out of which 740 units were sold in the United States and 220 units in Canada.

Remember the extraordinary and the extravagant BMW 1M model, which used to enchant our eyes with exotic paintjobs and engine revving, before hitting the roads in full throttle?

Well, a BMW 1M all wrapped in a camouflage vinyl paintjob has recently popped the web, the model looking like being ready to go hunting. We are not sure whose work is this, but judging by the license plates, the BMW 1M was surely customized in Austria.

Apart from the extraordinary camouflage vinyl, the BMW 1M was also customized, the sports car now receiving some new body components, like carbon fiber front lip and mirror caps, rear diffuser and spoiler and a few more to make it stand out from the crowd.

To be a reminder, the BMW 1M is one of the company`s most wanted models, and in case you want to buy one, in the stock stage or fully loaded with different customizations, the sports car now costs more than the $47,300 original price.

Unfortunately, the BMW carmaker has decided to put the 1M on the stand, in June 2012, after being successfully sold in 6309 models, out of which 740 units in the United States and 220 units in Canada.

The BMW German based carmaker is ready to make its grand debut with the upcoming BMW M2 sports car, the official replacement of the 1M, at the end of the year, or the beginning of 2016.

But until then, it seemed that the BMW M2 is playing around for some tests in the United States, where the model was spotted on the streets of Beverly Hills, while wearing some camouflage as well. This might not be the first time to see the model, even from a short distant, but we can depict a muscular body design, complemented by an aggressive personality.

Speaking about personality, the upcoming BMW M2 is also set to some with revised front and rear bumpers, sills, front wings, boot lid, as well as the 19-inch M wheels.

As we can also see here in the picture, the M2 will also be a little bit smaller and lighter than the 1M, meaning that the model is now standing at 1530 kg, featuring carbon fiber strut brace or composite plastic panels, as also found on the M3 and M4 models.

The BMW M2 will also be fresh under the hood, as it will sport the N55 TwinPower 3.0-liter unit, and not the same inline-six turbo unit, found on the M3 and M4, as previously expected. The engine will develop 370 horsepower and will be hooked to a manual or an automatic transmission.

The BMW 1M remains one of the most wanted and highly valued BMWs in the history of the company, with the model also to be seen wearing the special Frozen Blue paintjob.

The BMW 1M in Frozen Blue was seen in Essen, Germany and apparently, the owner has fitted the model with a detuned unit, also found on the BMW 135i or the 2011 BMW 335i coupe or convertible.

We are talking here about 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, hooked to a six-speed manual with limited slip differential, capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in around 4.8 seconds.

The BMW 1M was produced in 6309 units until 2012, being sold worldwide in three paintjobs: the Valencia Orange, Alpine White as well as the Sapphire Black, so in case you own a BMW 1M in a Frozen Blue, make sure you take good care of it, as it is a custom-made finish, which gives the car a special feeling and looks.

A video with a drag race between the hot ride F80 BMW M3 and the little BMW 1M has recently popped–out on the web, showcasing the two sports cars racing against each other.

Well, let`s have a look at the specifications of the two models and mind that even if the 1M is the smaller brother, don’t think that it doesn’t come with suitable power for the almighty M3 Sedan.

First off, the big difference between the two of them is that the F80 BMW M3 is packing a 3.0-liter six-cylinder unit, and that on the stock model, without any engine upgrades, which develops 425 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque, hooked to a 7-speed M DCT.

On the other hand the BMW 1M is smaller and lighter, which might be a huge advantage over the stock BMW M3 sedan, weighing just 1,570 kg as opposed to 1,670 kg. More than that, the 1M also sports an upgraded unit, meaning more power and torque.

Modifications refer to ECU mapping, intercooler, CAI or downpipes which sets the model at 400 horsepower and 560 Nm of torque, hooked to a six-speed manual transmission.

But if we made you curious enough, just hit the play button, sit back and enjoy the drag race between the F80 BMW M3 and BMW 1M!
