We are dealing here with a splendid make-over at the body, this Alpine White BMW 1M receiving a carbon fiber aero kit, consisting of a new front splitter, rear diffuser, trunk spoiler, as well as a new hood with the functional vents.

The entire body style is now complemented by the new 19-inch BBS FI alloy wheels, all wrapped in Michelin rubbers. The cabin of this 1M features the track BMW Performance Seats.

In the engine department, the BMW 1M is also looking fresh with the new goodies, the aftermarket specialists from EAS adding the Gruppe M Intake, BMW Oil Catch Can, Evolution Racewerks Chargepipe, Forge Intercooler, PTF Custom Map as well as the Akrapovic Full Eshaust System with Catless Downpipes.

The BMW 1M uses an upgraded 3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo, with 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, enough to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, at a topping of 250 km/h.

The BMW 1M is that iconic model that has been released on the market in just 6309 models, it is so rare that it now costs more than the original price tag set in 2011. Unfortunately, for this one, EAS has not revealed the price.

However, even matted to an M engine, some exhausts resonate properly, while others…well, don’t. This one here was caught on camera in Monaco, and has been paired with a 3.0 liter turbocharged, inline-6 engine, signed by the M specialists.

The powertrain produces 340 hp and 500 Nm of torque, which makes us understand that its sound should be more than good. In fact, it’s thrilling, no matter the exhaust system. That’s if you have enough time to listen to it, since it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds.

However, that AK47 Exhaust is more than a performer when you push the accelerator. It pops, bangs and crackles in the scariest way, as soon as you take your foot off the pedal. And that’s what makes it so special. It is, indeed, one of the loudest BMW 1M we’ve ever heard, if not the loudest.

But let’s keep in mind that the F1 tunnel in Monaco is one of the best resonating passages in the world, so this also amplifies the car’s excellent sound. Actually, when passing through that section, the BMW 1M sounds like a machine gun. I can only imagine it in wouldn’t be a good idea to own one in a war zone!

In the end, it’s clear that a top engine helps the exhaust perform best, and you can hear it in the clip below.

The BMW 1M is that iconic model from the German based carmaker that will still be valued in the next decades, the sports car coming with a unique body styling and sheer performance under the hood. It has made quite a stir even from the beginning, managing to impress with its sexy look and stance.

This one seen here wrapped in BMW`s Alpine White body color is no exception, the model looking menacing and quite aggressive with the high-performance Vossen VFS-1 wheels.

Apart the Vossen wheels, the tuner has also fitted some fine body styling elements, like black vinyl to the roof, new black side mirrors, kidney grille and rear diffuser. The overall styling is a real smashing.

No mods were carried out under the hood, this BMW 1M by Vossen Wheels tuner still packing the same N54 twin-turbo 3.0-liter with BMW TwinPower Turbo, developing 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, available between 1,500-4,500 rpm.

The power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission with a slip-limited differential, allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, a worthy performance that can be compared with today`s BMW M3 and M4. The topping stands at 250 km/h.

Enjoy the phot gallery released by Vossen Wheels tuner and don’t forget to show your appreciation towards this gorgeous BMW 1M by sharing your comments with us!

This BMW 1M seen here is also looking refreshed, thanks to some slight mods carried out at the body and the new set of wheels from ADV.1 Wheels tuner.

The BMW 1M is wearing the gorgeous Alpine White body wrap, along with revised bumpers at the front and rear. The new look is complemented by the new super light wheels, courtesy to ADV.1 Wheels tuner.

We are dealing here with the ADV5 MV2. Wheels, sized 20×9 at the front and 20×10 at the rear end, which make it more standout and more aggressive.

The entire installation was carried out by aftermarket specialists from Indonesian based Antelope Ban tuning company.

Under the hood, there were no power upgrades announced, the 1M packing a retuned 3.0-liter N54 twin-turbocharged engine, with 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque. The model can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, via a six-speed manual transmission. The top speed is electronically limited at 250 km/h.

I can understand that, as the 3 Series has pretty much all it needs to attract tuners: a decent price, good performance and looks that are not that bad on the eyes.

Some might argue that the BMW 1M also has all those qualities, but still a tuned version is quite rare. This is mostly due to the relatively small numbers in which it was produced. That’s exactly why, when you look at this particular E82 BMW 1M, you have to admire it.

It was dressed in Revozport panels all around, which, coupled with uncommon paintjob and the new set of wheels, really makes the vehicle stand out in a crowd. As for performance enhancements, we don’t really know if it has any. Maybe a reworked ECU for a little extra oomph?

Dubbed the Raze, said 1M was an amazing aftermarket build, with great emphasis on the exhaust sound.

In a recent press release, the tinkers of Revozport announced the new Raze GT, a step up from the previous version, as the GT name tends to suggest. While full specs and video/audio or even decent photos have yet to be revealed, we did get a preview photo, just enough to satisfy us until it is completed.

The new Raze GT will be 30 mm wider, will sport a huge rear wing and a new diffuser. there is also great news for the E82 BMW 1M owners, as they will be able to use the new Raze GT kit as well, if they have managed to abstain from purchasing the first one. We will be eagerly awaiting some footage of what we hope to be a kit just as mad sounding as the last.

A very special BMW from them was recently filmed unleashing the ponies beneath the hood. And they called it Raze.

Performance-wise, they fitted the E82 BMW 1 M with a new ECU, an intercooler, BOV charge pipes and a new exhaust system courtesy of the guys from Akrapovic. And while we didn’t get to see the full brunt of the E82 BMW 1M on the video, we do get a taste of Akrapovic sound quality.

To be completely fair, not much else can be gathered from the video, except maybe the aesthetic improvements, like the new hood or front splitter. It might not be the most extreme E82 BMW 1M out there, and the RevoZport doesn’t add too much value to it, either, but it does what any tuning project should: it turn heads, without immediately followed by laughter, like some other vehicles.

Still, the owner of the next E82 BMW 1M knows how to put the vehicle to good use, taking to the rough roads of rallying.

After BMW’s M division got done with the 1M, it was a performance beast worthy to take on several rally stages with the simple addition of safety features. But for the true experience, the owner of this particular one decided to take it to the next level.

Besides the mandatory rollcage, the Bimmer saw new cylinders from the E45 engine, a new 6 speed sequential transmission, new brake discs 360 mm wide, 6 piston calipers for the front and 330 mm rotors for the rear. The engine was also upgraded with a KMS ECU, while shock absorbers were provided by Proflex. The custom wheels come from Speedline and were draped in Kumho tires.

As a special treat, you get to see the E82 BMW 1M spit fire out the exhaust in one of its rally runs. Enjoy.

And Dinan Engineering delivered it in the form of a bolt on exhaust system.

Constructed out of high quality stainless steel, the Free Flow exhaust is built to fit just right on your BMW 1M. Besides the more aggressive soundtrack, the exhaust also provides a small boost in power, which is always welcome.

“Dinan’s goal has always been to improve performance without sacrificing reliability” said Steve Dinan. And to keep true to his words, his company also offers a new car warranty for every product they sell. For the exhaust tips, Dinan offers two choices: a laser engraved polished or optional satin black ceramic coated quad tips.

Inspired by past projects, like the Dakar Yellow M3, the owner of this 1M had a lot put into the car.

First off, the power output was increased thanks to a Stage 2 Manhart Racing kit, an Akrapovic exhaust system, IPE donwpipes and a Revolution Charge pipe. The BMW 1M sits atop 19 inch BBS RID wheels draped in Michelin tires.

For the exterior aspect, a full M Performance body kit was installed, with a lot of the panels being made of carbon fiber, like the trunk spoiler, diffuser, roof, mirrors and front grille. On the inside, the yellow BMW 1M has seen improvements in the form of a BMW Performance steering wheel, AC Schnitzer pedals and carbon back seats.

It is nice the see the tuning community inspired by great projects, as they spawn many more beautiful vehicles, like this BMW 1M.
