Since then, they’ve been really busy, churning out lots and lots of projects of which we’re unfortunately not that interested given that most of them are not BMW products.

This one is however, and it’s quite the lovable model, the one we all know as the F11 BMW 5 Series Touring. Take care as I’m about to say something unusual for me.

I hope this is a diesel powered version of the F11. I mean, the Touring version of the 5 Series is so practical and sensible it’s almost a shame not to have it in 535d guise.

It literally has everything the average user might want. There’s not many cars out there that can satisfy a whole family’s needs and not feel like a dreary box on wheels.

Before this particular model got to the hands of the German wrap specialist, it was fitted with a new body kit that’s reminiscent of the M package.

A similar note is found within the multi-spoke alloy wheels. We can finally talk about the wrap and the redesigned looks.

The German car maker takes great pride in calling the new appearance Cherry Red, which is difficult to get your head round to.

The option to go for a matte finish really throws the color shade off the game. Thankfully, some brushed metallic bits bring out the highlights of the car.

It’s not all that. In this particular case, the BMW 1 Series M Coupe, a car which really solicits your knowledge of compliments, receives a makeover from such a word.

That’s because it’s a particular word a German tuning company chose to go by. Probably not the best decision they ever made.

The name is actually quite romantic in its appearance. Schwaben is a region in Germany we usually refer to as Swabia since we are hopeless at understanding the language completely.

Folia is somewhat simpler a name to understand since it doesn’t sound impossible to get right and is quite close to “foil”.

The name of the tuner is important since the BMW 1 Series M Coupe receives a striking lime green foil wrap, costing €2.150 or about $2.850.

A few other mods are available though, most notably the performance changes. You can get more power and sharper handling.

A power kit for the 1 Series M Coupe that lifts the output from 335 to 402 horsepower. That’s a well worth it upgrade which costs €1.299 or 1.700 USD.

If we’re honest, the Bilstein sports suspension (€2.499/US$3.300) is a matter of taste, since there are no complaints with the factory setup.

The titanium exhaust system Schwabenfolia charge €2.299 or $3.000 is not to everybody’s taste but having a louder sports car which drops some weight isn’t something you’d normally say no to.

Finally, you can get custom coating for the wheels if you’re willing to dish out another €800/US$1.100.
