There is no surprise that the rear axle gets wider wheels as this helps with traction and control. The ADV.1 rims got a multi-spoke design and a black finish. Besides the new set of wheels, this particular BMW 1-Series M Coupe benefits from a special grey wrap and a new rear spoiler.

Power is offered by an improved 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo engine, known as N54. With a total output of 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, the small German model is also fast, not just good-looking.

If that wasn’t enough, there’s an overboost function that adds extra 50 Nm of torque when you need them. Taking this car from a standstill to 100 km/h takes only 4,3 seconds with a top speed limited at 250 km/h.

The model is fitted with a six-speed manual transmission, so you’ll get a better feeling while pushing the pedal to the floor.

For the rest of readers, some explaining might be in order, just to make sure.

We are talking about a certain model that the tuner presented at the Essen Motor Show 2013, based on the BMW M135i. The reason behind the new name MH1 400 should be evident. After they were done with it, the vehicle managed to pull a nice 400 Hp and 561 Nm of torque.

The impressive display of power is held in place by additional parts like a set of KW Clubsport Coilovers, brand new brake system and a custom set of OZ wheels measuring 19 inches in diameter. The outside styling is also quite eye catching, without too much work put into it. A couple of yellow features on a black overall paint does a pretty good job of it.

Their project took a BMW 135i M and turned up the power, while also doodling a bit on the surface.

The 135i, most like pretty much any other Bimmer out there, is not a car that lacks in performance, or at least driving pleasure, but that doesn’t mean it is giving it its all. So the guys from Dahler went on and fiddled with the 3 liter engine, making it capable of producing 360 Hp and 540 Nm of torque.

The numbers make for an acceleration time to 100 km/h of just 4.5 seconds, which is pretty decent considering the normal 8 speed automatic transmission. As for the aesthetics of the car, we don’t get too much, really, and the aftermarket specialist was a bit withholding with the pictures. Apart from what you can glance from the one photo, your guess is as good as mine.

Still, the performance upgrade itself is enough to give this project a green light and recommend it to any takers.

But is this just another tuning kit or will it shine? This is for each one to figure out.

On the outside, they went with matte grey color, but instead of painting the body panels, they applied foil wraps. Afterwards they put the 1 Series M atop 20 inch Bavaria BC5 Concave wheels which they dyed blue for effect. They also installed an Alpha-N diffuser, a Bilstein suspension and a trunk mounted spoiler.

Under the hood, Leib Engineering went with an optimized ECU for the 3.0 liter twin turbo engine, and also installed a new exhaust system from Supersprint. This makes for a power output of 400 Hp and 560 Nm of torque.

For even more power, the tuner can offer any takers larger turbochargers, a “suction system” and reworked cooling and exhaust systems. They say that with this build the BMW 1 Series M will reach and go beyond the 500 Hp, 600 Nm mark.
