H&R: 1M Coupe Project Vehicle (based on BMW 1-Series) news

Press release...

The H&R Project BMW 1M Coupe has been a huge hit with all types automotive enthusiasts.

The H&R Project BMW 1M gets a new make over with the addition of European headlights and headlight switch and awesome set of custom Forgeline wheels with huge Michelin tires. The Forgeline wheels are from their new Concave Series style RB3C directional deep concave 3-piece with their exclusive center lock conversion. The super sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires are the perfect choice this high performance machine. These wheels and tires look right at home on the BMW 1M Coupe!

The BMW 1M Coupe has and is being compared with the original (E30) M3, the car that defined the boy racer! The new 1M Coupe continues this heritage. Just one look tells you this is a very special car. It is a small car with huge wheels and tires to take advantage of the power and handling that is on tap. Its extremities bristle with aerodynamic features which sole purpose is to reduce turbulence and increase downforces creating a driving machine that slips through the air and sticks to the road.

This project is limited to a few high-end performance parts – H&R suspension, Forgeline wheels, Brembo Big Brakes and Continental tires. These brands are a perfect fit for this one of a kind vehicle. The associations of these products are easily recognized as the best of the best. Working with these well-known tuning companies adds to the uniqueness of the BMW 1M Coupe while retaining its true character.

H&R Suspension components are known for their quality and performance. This one-of-a-kind performance coupe has no equal and H&R ride development engineers have designed the H&R Sport Springs to give this amazing car the perfect stance and performance handling. The progressive spring rate provides superb ride quality and comfort. H&R maintains its natural connection with this phenomenal car by direct involvement with BMW Motorsport. We know BMWs and our products demonstrate this.

H&R Sport Springs for the BMW 1M (e82) lower approximately 1.2 inches front and 0.6 inches rear - eliminating the huge front tire and wheel gap, for a more homogeneous appearance. Lowering your BMW with H&R Sport Springs improves handling and provides that cool H&R stance.

In addition to the H&R Sport Spring, H&R Sway Bars have been included front and rear. The new sway bars are 27mm front and 23mm rear. These awesome bars have forged ends and are made from HF wire that is heat treated and shot peened – an industry exclusive.

The BMW 1M Coupe has great brakes, but the with addition of Brembo GT 380mm Big Brake Kit front & rear with cross drilled rotors the stopping power of the 1M is nothing short of breathtaking. Custom Motorsport Blue Calipers with white Brembo logos really stand out behind the Forgeline wheels.

Inside the WeatherTech® FloorLinerTMDigitalFit®accurately and completely lines the interior carpet giving “absolute interior protectionTM”! Digital laser measurements of interior surfaces offer a consistently perfect fit! A patent pending High-Density Tri-Extruded (HDTE) material allows for a rigid core for strength while offering surface friction to the carpet, as well as tactile feel to the surface! They look good and the keep 1M Coupes interior like carpet looking brand new.

I am not a fan of the look of the 1 series at all but it reminds me (not literally) of my buddy's old white wide body m3 sedan.

...so i kinda like it..kinda.

I like the 1 Series. Especially the 1M Coupe. I've only seen one on the road since their release.

This is one of my favorite cars. It looks alot better in person than in pics. One I saw in person looked amazing. I really like those wheels also.

This will definately be a collector's item. It basically already is.
