BMW’s 1-Series M Coupe has a tuner kit in the works by Germany’s AC Schnitzer. So far it includes bountiful upgrades for the interior, and an attractive wheel selection.
Two different colored models have been made over, a Sapphire Black, and, for the daring, a Valencia Orange version.

The already sporty suspension has been tuned to even further enhance that appeal, and the break system was given a complete overhaul. The idea behind the break upgrades is to reduce weight, using a high performance system designed for stability and that keep heat down when you’re in for the long haul. Included in the system are fixed caliper front and rear breaks, 6 and 4 piston, respectively, break pads and pipes, vented brake discs, and caliper mounting brackets.
Inside, the 1 -Series M Coupe has been fitted with a leather gear shift cover and illuminated knob that also includes a digital display. Aluminium covers the handbreak handle, the i-Drive system controller, pedals and foot rests. Velor floor mats have also been added.
