\"BMW<\/p>\n

We’ve been hearing about an M version of the 1-Series coupe for some time now; however, BMW has yet to confirm anything – until now. M division boss Kay Segler revealed plans for an M version of the 1-Series coupe to AutoCar<\/em> and said that he wants to send a “clear signal that our products are financially accessible.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the modular production processes in place at BMW, it is possible to create performance cars that customers can not only dream about owning but also realistically afford,” Segler said.<\/p>\n

The decision to approve the car for production came after an \u201coverwhelmingly positive reaction\u201d to recent customer clinics, said another BMW official.<\/p>\n

Power for the M 1-Series coupe will come from BMW’s new 3.0L turbocharged straight 6-cylinder unit, which will be modified to produce around 350-hp, 48 more horsepower than the 135i and 70-hp less than the M3’s 4.0L V8.<\/p>\n

According to AutoCar<\/em>, we can expect to see the car sometime in 2011.<\/p>\n
