1M RAZE Shows Weight Reduction Done Right

A little while ago, we drove the feisty BMW 1 Series M Coupe, or 1M as we all know it. And we loved it (First Drive: BMW 1M by Teamspeed.com). But if there was an area that it could improve on, it'd be weight.

Yes, the 1M could go on a diet and no-one would complain about "positive body image". And seeing as BMW won't do it, the guys from RevoZport stepped up to the plate.

It has created the 1M Raze, a series of weight reduction features which can be bought individually, or as a complete package.

For example, there's a carbon bonnet which has integrated cooling vents that allow hot air to escape while feeding cooler air into your cold-air intake.

There are also brake disc ducts which aren't just for show - they actually deliver cold air to your discs, cooling it more efficiently. With that and the weight reduction from carbon-fibre goodies, the 1M becomes a whole new animal.

For those with these little beasts, it's probably worth checking out. After all, a little enhancement never hurt anyone.

Great write-up Karl, this 1M is outstanding!

 

Love the Revo 1M!

 

"Weight reduction done right" (on a street car) should either tastefully add to the aesthetic of the vehicle or be totally invisible. You guys have pulled off the former, great job!

 

mean little car. needs a chip and you're set. 400hp in a 1 series lol

130lbs is pretty good!

 

I have a doubt and you can help. Why is that I do find the 1M on the BMW U.S website but there is no way to configure one?. It is not available?.

 

It's sold out.

BMW 1 Series M Coupe is now sold out
