The hotter BMW got itself a purposely hotter appearance from the factory and that was taken up to 11 once the world of tuning took a stab at it.

A wide body kit fitting wasn’t really needed since the standard car already comes with that. At this point it’s time to focus on the little things.

Actually, that’s not completely true, the BMW 1 Series M Coupe gets itself a new look courtesy of a red vinyl wrap.

Some black accents are still left out in order to balance everything out. These include a couple of vents in the bonnet, a repainted hump and some unaltered aero bits.

The original air splitter, the rear diffuser, the lower side skirt blades and part of the trunk lid are black and beautifully contrast with the red of the body.

Oh and speaking of which, the new HRE C20 alloy wheels aren’t exactly standard stuff but they don’t feel at all like they don’t belong in the mix.

Overal, the BMW 1 Series M Coupe looks amazing yet it still gets tinted windows. Let’s hope that’s there to hide the driver away from the LA sun rather than adoring looks.

Once again, the photos made available by 1013M look amazing and seriously highlight the important feats of the custom BMW 1 Series M Coupe.

Some, much like the BMW 135i we see here will not be wearing anything special in terms of badge but it seems to be filled with the passion of the owner.

The owner’s name is Ryan and he’s from Sacramento. We don’t know more about him and frankly we’re not very interested in his personality.

We’re much more interested in that of his car. Thanks to some wise decisions and (we’re guessing) considerable investments, he got himself a wonderful little driver’s car.

He didn’t mess around with the underpinnings of the BMW 135i, he didn’t gut its interior out and he didn’t feel the need to tell us anything about the engineering heritage of his creation.

That’s quite a breath of fresh air compared to the rather boring press releases of most established tuning companies.

The point of this car was to give it a distinctive look. The green tweaks of the alloy wheels, side mirrors and tow hook help and so does the rear spoiler.

The true star of the newly tuned BMW 135i is the carbon fiber wide body kit that was fitted to the small sedan.

We don’t know how much the weight drops by once its installed but it should be quite the considerable amount, some 200-300 lbs perhaps.

The photo shoot of the special occasion was taken care of by 1013MM.
