Hartge BMW 1 Series M Coupe

Beckingen-based Hartge has revealed its new program for the BMW 1 Series M Coupe. Already producing 246 kW (335 hp) and 450 Nm (332 lb/ft) in factory form, the company’s engine conversion results in a figure of 295 kW (401 hp) and 530 Nm (391 lb/ft) from the twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six. According to Hartge that translates to a 0-200 km/h time of 11.34 seconds, but that would make it faster than a Pagani Zonda F. And given that the stock time is just over 17 seconds, we’re guessing that someone may have hit a wrong key somewhere.

Other components for the 1M include a range of wheel styles, stainless steel rear silencers, a -30 mm suspension spring kit, roof spoiler, boot lid lip, velour floor mats and aluminium pedals.
