ATT-TEC simply took on the 1 Series M Coupe and improved the bits that customers weren’t too happy about or areas where they wanted something extra.

The power was obviously at the top of the second list. The twin-turbocharged 3.0 liter straight six cylinder engine now has two stages of tune.

First, there’s a simple ECU upgrade which spools the engine up to 400 horsepower. The second package is a little more advanced but it does take the grunt up to 460 horses so it’s easy to justify.

The second package does include a larger intercooler, the fitting of a custom Akrapovic exhaust system and an even more aggressive remap of the ECU.

In terms of suspension, the BMW 1 Series M Coupe does excellent on a track and almost reasonable on a road. In hoping to make things better on both levels, ATT-TEC chose to fit a new setup altogether.

Obviously, the best aftermarket option so far is the KW adjustable coilover package which serves up more favorable ride options.

Out at the end of the day, ATT-TEC rounds up the entire package with a new set of 20 inch ADV1 5.0 TF wheels and some Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.

You can nitpick, but it’s hard to find people who’ll believe the flaws you’ve found even with this sort of package.

A somewhat sedate F30 3 Series Sedan is in the works, a considerably sharper F10 BMW M5 is being worked alongside it and now one of the newest models is under the knife.

It’s all sounding very exciting to see and Studie AG seem to be working tirelessly around the clock to come up with new cars/packages for them and the likes.

Their PR folk certainly know their way around the business and they will easily build up the hype on these new cars but they may be doing it a little early on.

This time there’s basically nothing to talk about in terms of body, aero tweaks or even paint schemes. This is a typical Mineral White paint finish we’re talking about.

The biggish four door coupe is now sitting on a KW V3 coilover suspension setup and can be teamed to a varying combinations of alloy wheels.

These can range between 20 and 21 inch alloys that are manufactured by Advan or AC Schnitzer and it’s very, very difficult to argue against either of which.

All I wish is that the guys over at Studie AG would get right on top of the models they’re making and actually start launching slightly more intricate tweaks.

In the meantime, we’ll just drool a little over the images they’ve currently provided.

Relatively small companies like the guys at KW Suspensions have recently unveiled their crowning achievement in terms of body control.

The stainless steel KW DDC ECU coilover kit comes with all the speed capabilities of an aftermarket setup but has none of the drawbacks.

This is because they’ve finally cracked the adjustability features on this product and they can genuinely offer the same range between track days and the road to and from there.

Usually, to adjust these settings you’d have to be very handy with a wrench or have a dedicated mechanic for this stuff.

Now though, it’s back to buttons for all those who have a E9x 3 Series BMW and effortless changes. Further more, there’s even an app you can use to make a wireless change to your setup.

When you go through your phone or tablet, you can adjust the dampers individually, save setups and so on. If you’re a less involved person, you get a knob to shift between Comfort, Sport and Sport+ like you would in anything M division.

BMW’s 3 Series first got this KW suspension kit adjusted to its E91 estate version and it is now available for the more entertaining E92/93 two door versions.

The coilover kit allows you to adjust both the harshness of the suspension and the ride height, by as much as 60 mm depending on the model you fit it to.

In order to prove just how wrong I am, there’s a tuner out there with this name. It’s based in Florida and they’ve just taken on the BMW 1 Series M Coupe.

What should be considered here is the fact that PSI actually stands for Precision Sport Industries and that there’s a few changes to discuss.

If I’m honest, they’re not the most impressive sorts out there since the engine was left intact. All you get for it is an Akrapovic Evolution titanium exhaust system.

That sounds like the most aggressive idea ever but, in reality, the only thing that addition brings to the equation is more noise.

Not really a bad thing but from there on PSI sort of went the lazy route round the tuning of this car. They fitted a KW Suspension system and list a choice of options for the wheels.

Finally, there’s some aerodynamic work done as there’s a new front lip, trunk spoiler and a Revozport rear 2×2 CF diffuser.

The interior receives an Alcantara M steering wheel and some carbon fiber trim. Overall, the project from PSI doesn’t seem to do that much to the 1 Series M Coupe.

They’ve merely added some tweaks here and there and none of them really seem to have taken that much work to make happen.
