It’s the RevoZport 1M Raze P450 package for the very rare coupe you got yourself. The car was originally unveiled at the 2011 SEMA show and it’s still one of the rare deals on the car.

Only a few thousands of the BMW 1 Series M Coupe were ever sold but allegedly less than 50 of them have gotten this makeover so far.

The point of the 1M Raze P450 is to sharpen everything up. It aims to improve the power-to-weight ratio of the original car and it gets the aerodynamic efficiency.

Both these ideas are to come through the same changes, namely the replacement of the original panels with carbon fiber. That makes everything quicker, lighter and generally better.

On top of that, RevoZport managed to tweak the 1 Series M Coupe’s engine up to a total of 450 horsepower. Couple that with a 130 lbs loss of weight and sprightly is the first word that comes to mind.

These are the headlines but RevoZport manages to do a lot about how the detailed bits of the car are actually considerably upgraded to racing spec.

Everything from the titanium exhaust tips to the brake fluid in the 1 Series M Coupe was replaced with high end stuff.

With all these changes, the high end motorsport clues of the RevoZport 1M Raze P450 tuning package makes for a rather pricey option.

Do you have to ask?

While everything does sound like the company is actually based in China since the first name seems to be French for Studio.

Anyway, it’s not the branding that we’re so bothered about and the car, a BMW 1 Series M Coupe actually seems to be considerably important.

With the new exterior tweaks, everything about the BMW 1 Series M Coupe seems to follow in the path of its bigger brother.

It only seems natural that the BMW M3 is something to follow up to when you’re the smallest brother of the M division family.

The tuner didn’t really aim to keep up with the BMW M3 at any rate but actually wanted to target one of the high end models, particularly the M3 GTS.

At the moment we’re only looking at an exterior set of mods and an updated paint scheme. Otherwise the technical stuff is standard.

The orange paint and black details hide off a new rear wing, slightly different bumpers and upgraded spiltter and vented hood.

There’s no plan at this point to fit it with the 4.4 liter monster the GTS has but we do know from a certain Egyptian project that a V8 will fit under its bonnet.

At the moment I’m not a big fan of the Studie AG Japan BMW 1M Coupe right now but it does have the potential to get somewhere very interesting.

I don’t know, but they seem to be just about everywhere since a new tuning package for the BMW 1M seems to turn up every couple of weeks or so.

The newest one to join the lot comes from Alpha-N Performance and before I even look at i, I am annoyed by it’s creation. I shouldn’t be though.

Alpha-N Performance is a tuner that’s more special than you’d imagine since it has absorbed the ruins of a different company.

That’ll be the much loved Brabham racing team that used to be a major player in the Formula 1 set. They may not be around but they have some very useful know-how from the high profile sport.

Which exactly the reason behind the Alpha-N Performance BMW 1M RS featuring a kit which includes a carbon fiber hood, front fascia, lower spoilers, roof, boot lid spoiler and rear diffuser.

So Alpha-N dropped the weight, always an welcome addition to the plan but they’ve also been a little busy adding some extra power.

The 3.0 liter twin-turbocharged straight six cylinder engine now gets an extra 70 horsepower making for a total of 410 being produced.

That’s achieved courtesy of a remapped ECU, a new air intake and exhaust system. Finally, the BMW 1M RS gets six piston calipers, 380 mm brake disks and braided stainless steel lines all around.

The final change is to be found in a set of lightweight OZ Superforgiata 19 inch alloy wheels.

That’s the sort of idea that doesn’t really exist in the mind of tuners of the world as just about every single one of them has made a kit for the 1M Coupe.

Some of the special packages created with this very special car in mind don’t even belong to actual tuners. This one for example is the vision of H&R Springs.

As if the title of the company didn’t give it away, H&R is actually a suspension specialist that makes components for other tuners to use in their packages.

Maybe they just got tired of having things this way round and will, therefore, go in and make the whole package themselves.

Unlike a lot of tuners, or even manufacturers out there, H&R have only bit off what they can chew and didn’t mess about with the engine, interior or anything tricky like that.

H&R’s new BMW 1M Coupe stick along some fairly simple principles and start off with a lowering kit they make themselves.

The 1 Series M Coupe gets a 1.2 inch drop at the front and a 0.6 one at the rear. Then H&R have stuck to the recipe and provide it with new alloy wheels.

The new center lock wheels come with sticky Michelin tires but, more importantly, encompass 380 mm cross-drilled rotors.

Finally, BMW’s 1M gets a very important kind of livery, the ideal Bavarian paint shades alongside a small decall for H&R Springs.
