Joining a multitude of tuners that have worked over the BMW 1 M Coupe this past year is Hartge. The German company’s program includes both performance upgrades and styling modifications for the M version of the 1-Series Coupe.
The tweaking starts under the hood with a Hartge power kit and a sports exhaust system that improve upon the standard model’s 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six lifting output from 335hp (340PS) to 396hp (401PS) at 5,850 rpm and maximum torque from 450Nm to 530Nm (391 lb-ft) at 2,950 rpm.
Hartge quotes a 0 to 200km/h (124mph) sprint time of 11.34 seconds, which is a significant improvement over the stock model’s 13.52 second run. We don’t know how, but the tuner also claims that it’s modified 1 M Coupe consumes 0.5 liters less fuel per 100 kilometers than the regular version.
For the suspension, Hartge offers a 30mm lowering kit, while buyers can also fit their cars with a choice of alloy wheels.
Next up is the styling package, which includes boot lid and roof spoilers, new exhaust tips, Hartge emblems, aluminum pedals and bespoke floor mats.
