BMW has just released some new information about the long awaited 1-Series M Coupe, including engine information, release dates, and the toys it will carry.
Under the hood will be the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with 340 horsepower. That motor will be connected to six-speed manual transmission. There will no automatic option with this vehicle. That motor should be more than enough to haul around the car’s 3,307-pound weight.
The M1 will feature a chassis, braking system, and rear differential similar to the M3. In total, that power and these tweaks have made the M1 faster than the E46 M3 around the Nordschleife.

UPDATE 05/25/2011: If you plan buying a 1-Series M Coupe you should do it pretty fast, as the car will not only be limited to only 2,700 units, but it will also be produced only until December. Talking with TheDetroitBureau.com, BMW said that "a future update may be in the works, but it could be some time before a model dubbed 1M returns to the States because the more conventional 1-Series is about to go through a significant update. There?s typically a delay of as much as several years before BMW adds a high-performance M edition of its conventional products."
