German specialist Alpha-N has released their take on the BMW 1-Series M
Coupe. The package features new bodywork parts, a power increase, a new brake
kit and O.Z. wheels.
The technicians of Alpha-N fitted the bodywork of the 1 M series with a
completely new carbon clad comprising a carbon engine hood with air outlets, one
set of carbon front spoiler corners, a carbon roof, carbon rear flap with
integrated spoiler lip and a carbon rear diffuser.
Alpha-N’s 1M RS received a power increase up to 410hp. This is 70hp higher
than the serial engine. The increase was achieved through software optimization,
a new air duct as well as a specially developed exhaust system.
Alpha-N also fitted the front axle of the 1M series with a high-performance
braking system from MAC with 380mm large disks and six-piston saddles. There is
also a set of sports brake pads and flexible steel lines added to it.
The contact with the surface of the road is achieved via O.Z. Superforgiata
rims measuring 8.5 inches in the front and 10.0×19 inches in the rear fitted
with a Michelin Cup tire of 245 and 265.
