2011 BMW 1-Series M Coupe UK Version

2011 BMW 1-Series M Coupe UK Version. New BMW 1-Series M Coupe, exciting driving experience offered by a high-performance sports car was brought into the premium compact segment for the first time. This gives the BMW M GmbH wide variety of new models to create additional groups passion for superior performance and style are determined by the incredible athletic talent. Like the BMW M cars, the BMW 1-Series M Coupe combines race-oriented technology with features designed for everyday use and a distinctive appearance. In the design, model 2-door compact express special aesthetic expression of M-style native from the concept of essential features for an excellent driving dynamics.


Dynamic relationship that pleasure BMW 1-Series Coupe driving of a unique quality in the field of competitive states is the perfect base to attract direct appearance of the first high-performance model in the compact segment. With a long hood, short front overhang, rear-set passenger cell, the long wheelbase and flowing roofline transition from a flat rear, the BMW 1-Series M Coupe has all the characteristics typical of BMW coupe. Realization of functions in the compact vehicle class to create the overall impression that the business and character typical agile. Measuring 4380 millimeters long and 1420 mm high, the BMW 1-Series Coupe M is both the shortest and flattest in various models of BMW M GmbH. It is 55 mm wider than the BMW 135i Coupé: 1803 mm Width is the result and expression of a gauge on the front and rear optimized for driving dynamics in a way that is specific to this model for repair.

The appeal of aesthetic typical of BMW M models mainly made through an authentic relationship between form and function. This includes the structure of the front end - is determined by engineered powertrain cooling air requirements - as well as to optimize the aerodynamics of the body element is changed. BMW 1-Series M Coupe has a special design features intended affect drag and downforce in dynamic driving situations in particular. This includes the internal structure of a completely new from the side air intakes in the front bumper. Air 'curtain, which is used here for the first time in series production car, fix the air around the wheel arches, the effect of a sharp reduction in turbulence.

Innovative aerodynamic function consists of openings in the outer bumper air route in-flow into two channels. They are about 10 inches tall and 3 inches wide and is designed so that air flows along the inside of the front bumper in the channel closed at the wheel, where he was thrown through a very narrow holes with high speed, just past the wheel outside the pelvis. The air passes covers the front wheels as a curtain, making the adverse aerodynamic turbulence around the wheel: this is why they are referred to as air curtain.

Optimization of air in the wheel makes a great potential especially to optimize overall vehicle aerodynamics. This is why it is an important role in the development of innovative aerodynamic action. An example of the principle of the air curtain was first presented in the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept study at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt in 2009, and the developer BMW 1-Series M Coupe on the pioneering task of implementing this element is a series production car. While they can benefit from the unique facilities for research and development of new aerodynamic Aerolab on BMW Group's Testing Center, where the correct model of car-to-scale has been tested under realistic conditions.

The proportion of typical BMW coupe, a prominent feature of high-performance sports car and features distinctive style of the BMW model M defines the side view of the BMW 1-Series M Coupe. With global warming the impression of light, strongly pronounced shoulder line and the line represents sportsmanship complex sculpted surfaces precisely controlled. The wheel arches of the 2-door model especially voluminously bulge in the front and rear. It's athletic appearance is functionally associated with a wide track, which is an ideal base for optimal stability curve for a very dynamic and changes rapidly in direction. A characteristic feature is the chrome M Gill element in the front wheel arches, particularly, the elongated. He brings both sides of the direction indicator M brand and logos, as well as the basic form of a line through the bead door opener on the back. What's more, a contour edge of the vertical element that starts at the gills which leads to the skirt, to provide additional focus for muscular contours of the wheel arches.

The doors, designed specifically for the BMW 1-Series Coupe also have a line of M-specific model. horizontally oriented contours of their edges taper in the back, after which the surface of the rear wheel well lit area. The strong-looking body panels on the front and rear increase the attractive light and shadow created by the alternating concave and convex surfaces.

Strong wheel arches the rear of the BMW 1-Series M Coupe looks very wide. the back was prepared by a horizontal line placed to underline this impression, while the wise spoiler lip on the boot generates more downforce on the rear axle at high speeds. Wise reference to the uniqueness of the vehicle provided by the M logo, are traditionally placed under the tail lamp cluster right in the trunk.

Aperture rear side that has the appearance of the air intakes in the front bumper echo. A charcoal entering the diffuser-style shift visual focus on the road. What's more, the visual characteristics of symmetry created by the twin chrome tailpipes M, each placed at the outer edge.

L-shaped rear lights with glass lid distinctive red uniform night illumination. In this case, the backlight is powered by two banks of LED lighting units. The light from the brake lights, arranged in an offset pattern behind them, produce an intense signal effect. Dynamic brake lights activated in case of a very slow suddenly, warning users of the road from behind through a flashing signal.

There are three exterior colors to choose finish for BMW 1-Series M Coupe. In addition to Alpine White non-metallic and metallic Black Sapphire, Valencia Orange color variation is exclusively available for high-performance compact sports car.

Regardless of body color, special interior to experience, targeted pro-active, sporty driving in terms of design, color design and material selection. Interior concept was developed exclusively for BMW 1-Series Coupe M consists of an anthracite headlining and M-specific calls with the cockpit lighting points, gray, red and white for a round instrument. What's more, a high-quality black Alcantara trim for door panels, interior trim, gear lever and hand brake cover and cockpit-style sports car highlights the scope of the atmosphere.

Boston leather sport seats in black has orange contrast stitching and logo of M arise in the future of each headrest. The contrast stitching is repeated on the back, the gear shift and handbrake lever gaiter and other design elements, with Alcantara. M leather steering wheel features a multi-function keys include buttons for spontaneous activation of a sports car set-ups.

The dominance of dark areas, including the A-pillar trim, promotes concentration on the road. Combined with quality materials and selective color accents, the interior of the BMW 1-Series M Coupe offers a very harmonious configurations as an exclusive atmosphere for a unique driving pleasure.
