Because V8.
The BMW 1M is absolutely not a thing, and not a car that you blush with shame on the jaws, just ask Jeremy Clarkson or Andre de Vries, who in this video the most out of a 1M pulls on the Ring.
However, even M GmbH recognized the smallest ‘M’ not as a fully-fledged product; the 1M had to make do with ‘powered by M’ on the six-in-line. This was before the M Performancelijn was launched, otherwise, this was a solution for the M-conundrum.
Anyway, under the motto ” moar is always better‘ attracted a few Russians, the 4.0 liter S65 V8 from an M3, took a huge shoehorn in your hand, and let the achtpitter in a 1 Series body. The origin 135i was now a 1-double M, with a sound which many a Bimmerenthousiast happy in his pants. Look at him diagonally from the front, and the similarity with the Z3M Coupe, occurs, moreover, immediately.
It is not the first time that the 1 Series is a motortransplantatie get, so there was a 1M with a GM V8, and also seems to be a BMW V10 to fit, but this conversion has the narrowest M-family. Hear him growl on autojunk! (via Boldride)
