The hottest BMW 1 Series offers a whole new dimension of sports-style driving pleasure to the premium compact segment in Malaysia with its outstanding power delivery.

Featuring an in-line six-cylinder engine with BMW M TwinTurbo technology which only recently received the best-in-class award at the 2012 International Engine of the Year Awards, the 3.0-litre power unit combines hallmark BMW M performance characteristics with contemporary efficiency, resulting in a power output of 250kW / 340bhp and a maximum torque of 450Nm from revolutions as low as 1500rpm.

The all-new BMW 1 Series M Coupé's sports aggressiveness devours roads and racetracks alike and handles the 0 - 100km/h sprint in an astonishing 4.9 seconds.

"With the all-new BMW 1 Series M Coupé, the fascinating driving experience offered by a high-performance sports car is brought to the premium compact segment in Malaysia for the very first time. We are confident that the new car will deliver a whole new dimension of sports-style driving pleasure to our customers as it combines BMW M GmbH's innovative technology and outstanding power delivery with the premium day-to-day practicality and luxurious quality of a BMW," said Mr. Sashi Ambi, Corporate Communications Manager, BMW Group Malaysia.

He further added that the BMW 1 Series M Coupe would further extend the company's model range, paving the way for younger target groups to be able to access the hallmark driving experience offered by an M car.

"With only a very limited number of units of the BMW 1 Series M Coupes being made available in Malaysia, the car will be one of the most exclusive vehicles available, offering potential BMW customers the option of owning one of the most dynamic, luxurious and individual sports coupé's in the country."
