Merzig-based Kelleners Sport has become the first tuner to offer a complete tuning package for BMW’s 1 Series M Coupé, creating the KS1-S. A 70 bhp power hike takes the Baby M’s output to 410 bhp, while the new adjustable coilover suspension helps to keep it planted to the road.
Externally, there’s a front lip – for added down force, and the option of ‘Berlin’ or ‘Hamburg’ 20-inch alloy wheels – which we quite like. The stripes on the bonnet, roof and sills are overkill, and if those stainless steel grille inserts were designed to cheapen the look of the M Coupé and give it the appearance of a mediocre rapper’s Bentley – mission accomplished.
Inside the car, occupants are treated to leather and Alcantara-finished seats, door panels and dashboard. The sports steering wheel is also trimmed in Alcantara, as is the hand brake boot and gear lever gaiter.
