2011 BMW 1-Series M Coupe

2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe Review

When anticipating fans around the world at its peak, the BMW M GmbH, today introduced the newest member of the family intimate. For the first time the brand has been popular with area M BMW 1-series in the form of a brand new BMW 1 Series Coupe M M brand has been approved after two years of the development process, through which the engineers of BMW M and testers attained a unique power delivery and a signature, a near-perfect driving behavior of the BMW M cars 2011 BMW 1 Series Coupe M is available in limited quantities and for a limited range of options authorized BMW centers in the spring of 2011. Final price, packages and options are reported to the nearest on-sale date.
 

"Eigenwillig," a German word meaning "stubborn," "individual" and "determined to go its own way," was the right word to describe most of the M cars unique and memorable past three decades. With the M3 d original BMW 1988 that his inspiration, combining the BMW 1 Series Coupe 2011 m, the capacity of a raw sports car with the agility, versatility and seating of a coupe compact BMW to create a clean ® Ultimate Driving Machine. This continues a series of eigenwillig M Coupe BMW M tradition with its latest two-door model, BMW M is showing its ability to build performance race car in a small car, capable of daily use.

Measure and the Authority of the construction.

The new BMW 1 Series M Coupe was developed for near-perfect balance and a large square footprint. It is 71 inches (1803mm) wide - 4.8 inches (122 mm) wider than its predecessor M3 1988 - still only 1.3 inches (33 mm) to 172.4 inches (4379mm) long. The new 1 Series Coupe weighs 1495 kg M DIN (£ 3296, preliminary), and has a 104.7-inch (2659mm) wheelbase, three inches longer than the 1988 M3. Track width front and rear are exactly the same in the 1 Series Coupe M of 60.7 inches (1542mm) each. Compared to the 2011 BMW 135i Coupe, 1 Series M Coupe is 0.2 inches (5 mm) longer, 2.1 inches (53mm) wide, 0.5 inches (13mm) back, and goes on the same 104, 7 inches (2659mm) wheelbase. It has a 2.8 inch track (71 mm) wider in front and 1.8 inches (46 mm) wider in the back, and weighs 35 kg DIN (77 pounds, preliminary) less.

The new 1 Series Coupe M is equipped with a unibody high strength steel with a unique, flared fenders and rear quarter panels to accommodate the track greatly expanded. It is also equipped with a metal roof panel that saves about 35 lbs (15 kg) compared to the BMW 1 Series models are equipped with a sunroof. For 2011 BMW 1 Series Coupe M, built as one of the most performance-oriented BMW vehicles in recent years will not be offered with a sunroof. This weight gain - at the highest point on the vehicle - gives a corresponding decrease in the center of gravity, which contributes to enhanced driving dynamics. It also helps to maximize the head space (or a pair of space, as is the case may be).
 

Engineering the beginning, which is "faster than its engine".

Providing sure-footed handling and high-performance coupe, powerful and luxurious, while keeping mass under control, presented numerous challenges for the engineers at BMW M. The result is a suspension of the M3 generation of aluminum present initially, and developed specifically for this model BMW M Nϋrburgring Nordschleife test center. Of course, every BMW design begins to organize the main components in order to facilitate near-perfect front / rear weight balance (51.7/48.3).

Virtually all front-end components are aluminum, including front struts, swivel bearings, central frame and a panel under the engine extra boost used to maximize lateral stiffness of the section before.

In the rear axle subframe, trapezius, arms track and wheel hubs have been redesigned M for the ideal kinematics, geometry and stiffness. Virtually every detail on the five-arm rear axle is aluminum and is new to this generation of BMW M cars, including aluminum dampers.

The front and rear axles feature hollow anti-roll bars optimized for their function and weight for. The integration of two longitudinal reinforcement bars, axle kinematics are perfectly suited to the street and the track of the global nature of the car. The result, in terms of stability and weight, conforms to the notion of balanced performance of all BMW M

Brakes and wheels up.

A braking system suitable for a car with this much performance was originally developed for the current generation BMW M3. The internally ventilated, perforated discs of cast iron measuring 14.2 inches (360 mm) diameter front and 13.8 inches (350 mm) on the back. With large compound disc brakes and electronic anti-lock stopping power for the 1 Series M Coupe is strong, precise and consistent. Each unit is connected to a floating aluminum center bolt cast stainless steel. This configuration reduces the thermal loads on the disks, increasing performance and durability. The pump's electric motor provides a power vacuum in the system.

Service - and safety - is enhanced by a built-in wear indicator which, through a dash display, allows the driver to control the state of brake linings. Service brake - covered for four years or 50,000 miles BMW Ultimate Service - can be administered when necessary without guesswork.

1-Series M Coupe is equipped with M-specific, cross-spoke alloy wheels and the M3 Competition Package M3 GTS limited production. They measure 19 x 9-inch low profile tires 245/35/R19 front and 19 x 10-inch tires 265/35/R19 on the back, and silver.

In the transmission of BMW 1 Series Coupe M power to the rear wheel also provides the ideal base for exciting driving dynamics due to the consequent separation of transmission and management functions. The rack and pinion is fitted with hydraulically assisted steering system called Servotronic, which regulates the rise compared to road speed.
 

Engine.

The heart of every BMW is the engine and therefore a 6 cylinder in line with outstanding performance, without revolutionizing behavior and endless pressure drives the BMW 1 Series Coupé M. The concept is known in the history of BMW M model, the high speed of inline-6 ​​is one of the formats of conventional engine. In the second and third generation of the BMW M3, 6-cylinder is famous for its combination of high performance, the strong response and sound. In the BMW 1 Series M Coupe, the inline-6 ​​engine concept is done mostly to date.

The bi-turbo, all-aluminum 3.0-liter inline-6 ​​engine is characterized by an immediate response to the accelerator pedal, great sound and a mind free diets. The combination of two low-mass turbochargers and direct injection BMW precision provides an output of natural aspirated engine would be able to supply through more cylinders and more displacement.

Engine turbocharger developed a new 1-Series Coupe M to maintain a high efficiency of the entire range of engine speeds. Maximum power 335 hp (250 kW) at 5900 rpm has been delivered. Maximum rated torque of 332 Nm (450 Nm) at 1500 rpm from 4500 rpm. Redline is 7,000 rpm. Improve the management system of the engine 1-Series M Coupe includes a overboost function electronic control briefly to add another full load torque 37 Nm (50 Nm). This is a maximum torque of 369 Nm temporarily gives the car a significant acceleration of growth. 1-Series Coupe M Full 60 mph sprint from standstill just 4.7 seconds (0-100 kph in 4.9 seconds). Standing quarter-mile mark is about 13.2 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph (250 kph).

The sound signature of the wave power.

Exhaust 1-Series M Coupe M is tuned specifically for this new model. Acoustics give the car a unique personality, all phases of operation. M exhaust system can easily detect the presence of four signature tailpipes.

M Drive button.

The new 1 Series Coupe M also has the steering wheel M Drive button, which made its first appearance in the 2006 M5. In the 1 Series M Coupe, the M button activates a throttle response program of shaving sportier driving. This means that the engine performance characteristics may vary according to the wishes of the driver.

Transmission 6-speed manual.
Close relationship with the 6-speed manual gearbox used in the rear wheels of the BMW 1 Series Coupe M It 'was specifically designed to interact with high-torque motors and are equipped with this system dry sump cooling purposes. Updated flywheel with high torque application is installed between the engine and transmission. The transmission is done using very short gearshift M. The final report of 3.15: 1

The variable M differential lock, the SDC M Dynamic Mode.

BMW 1 Series M Coupe is equipped with a locking differential M. This creates a lock-up torque on-demand and variable, which offers a rear-wheel drive for optimum traction on all road surfaces. The variable M differential lock to differences in rotational speed of left and right rear wheel, steering the torque in a split second. So where is the significant difference in coefficients of friction between the left and right rear wheel, for example, the traction and possible motive has been established. Centrifuge the principle of the differential lock system supports the dynamic properties of the two rear-wheel drive on slippery surfaces and when accelerating out of corners.

This makes the BMW 1 Series Coupe M traction advantage on slippery surfaces, snow and sand. It also supports athletic style racing narrow and winding roads, such as mountain passes, when optimum power and maximum torque is available when accelerating out of corners. So in this model, the variable M differential lock shows an ideal vehicle for the performance of the dynamic disk rear wheel.

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) BMW 1 Series Coupe M includes items such as antilock brakes (ABS), traction control function (ASC), Brake Assist dynamic brake control (DBC), a hill waiting for assistant start, Cornering Brake Control (CBC), a compensation function of the resistance to heat and brake drying function. In wet or slippery surfaces discreetly DSC intervenes to limit understeer.

As an alternative to normal operation, the driver can activate the M Dynamic Mode (MDM) by pressing the button between the front MDM vents, below the threshold of the ASN. MDM allows small amounts of oversteer in the dynamics of special circumstances to allow the vehicle to yaw optimal peak performance. Demonstrations in the BMW Performance Center in Spartanburg, South Carolina has shown the way to allow the MDM application as quickly as possible to enter, while providing security and protection of Dynamic Stability Control. MDM also provides start-up of snow or on loose surfaces with carefully controlled amounts of wheel slip. DSC can be completely turned off by a long press on the button MDM (ABS remains active.)

Innovative aerodynamics: air curtains.


The coherence between form and function is critical for the engineers of BMW M, seeking a perfect balance between wind tunnel aerodynamic factors different. Consequently, the 1 Series Coupé BMW M is equipped with latest innovation aerodynamics. Air curtains, used here for the first time in a BMW car production, improve airflow around the wheel arches with the advantage of very low turbulence.

This innovative feature consists of an aerodynamic exterior openings in the lower front fascia, the path of high pressure air in the channels at each front corner. The channels are about 10 x 3 inches wide and are designed to channel air intakes in front of each wheel, where it is discharged through a very narrow opening at high speed. The flow of air that comes out covers the side of the front wheels, like a curtain, which reduces the adverse aerodynamic turbulence around the turn wheels.

This function has a key role in the development of aerodynamic innovations in the future. An example of the principle of the air curtain is first presented in the study design of the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt in 2009, and the developers of the BMW 1 Series Coupe M assumed task of being a pioneer in applying this item to a production vehicle. They used the unique capabilities of the new large wind tunnel of "rolling road" in Aerolab aerodynamic BMW Group Test Center again.

Design.

There are three exterior paint finishes to choose from for the BMW 1 Series Coupé M. Beyond Alpine White non-metallic Black Sapphire Metallic, Valencia Orange available exclusively for this compact high performance sports car Metallic.

The front fascia is dominated heavily influenced by three large air intakes for cooling air to the engine high performance. The large central air intake grille is covered with a honeycomb-structured, while admission to two exterior is completely open. This means that in any situation on the road or trail, a sufficiently large quantity of cooling air is fed directly into the engine oil cooler on the right side and the radiator cooling further to the left.

When the greenhouse gases, to give the impression of lightness, a strong shoulder line and cleverly created to symbolize a distinctive surfaces carefully controlled athleticism of view. Wheel, two-door model bulge, especially voluminously as well as front and rear. A feature of the mark M is an element chrome front wheel Gill, which is particularly long. Plays the turn indicator on the side of the M brand and logos, as well as a starting point for the light that runs along the edge of the door handles on the back. The vertical shape of the edge begins to Gill, a factor that leads along the side of the threshold. Fine-tuning is a wind tunnel is also in the shape of the exterior design mirrors. Their basic shape is the same as the BMW M3.

A powerful tool for the rear wheel of the BMW 1 Series Coupe M very large. Arranged in horizontal lines to accentuate this impression. A discreet spoiler on the trunk lid will result in additional downforce on the rear axle at high speeds. The rear fascia has side openings which take the form of curtain air intake is on the front. Visual symmetry characteristic M is created by two chrome tailpipes of life, each positioned towards the outer edges. L-shaped rear light clusters, a red glass cover to create a function of night lighting. Within these, the backlight is provided by the inclusion of the two banks of LED lighting units.

BMW 1 Series M Coupe features standard Adaptive Xenon headlights. The double round headlights are truncated at the top of a base LED "eyebrows". This is what creates the eye focuses on the 1 Series Coupe M.
 

Focused Interior.

M-special cabin has been developed exclusively for the BMW 1 Series M Coupe is designed to facilitate focused, sporty driving. High-quality Alcantara dark orange contrast stitching covers the door panels, door pulls, instrument binnacle, the dashboard and the gear lever and handbrake boots. The driver's attention is focused on the M-specific indicators gray line, traditional M red needles, and a white backlight. M Footrest driver and the marking M sills around a unique interior design.

Black leather seats standard sports in Boston is an orange contrast stitching and embossed M logo on the front of each headrest. Seat heaters are available in both front seats. Contrast orange stitching is also echoed in the back seat and all the elements of interior design, with Alcantara. M leather multifunction steering wheel features ubiquitous M spontaneous activation of the brightest button in the gas and M Dynamic Mode, the DSC.

The predominance of dark surfaces, including the A-pillar trim and flag anthracite, reduces glare from the sun and encourages a focus on the road. In combination with high quality materials, carefully planned the outlines, and selective color accents give the interior of the BMW 1 Series Coupe M an ideal environment for the pursuit of driving pleasure.

The security team.

BMW looking for a passionate approach to safety three main ways:) Superior prevention of injury, b) more than crash survival, and c) post-accident communication. 1-Series M Coupe offers a wide range of standard equipment that emphasizes the culture of BMW safety research. Standard safety features are front, hip, thorax and curtain head airbags half, three-point automatic belts belts on all seats, belt force limiters and pretensioners in front. BMW Assist-equipped models with advanced automatic collision notification of BMW, which alerts the authorities when the airbag has occurred. In addition, the information is on board safety systems are examined and analyzed the urgency of their own algorithm, so that the vehicle can be the BMW Assist call center, special note when people are likely to be constantly serious injuries.
