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.
