Here's A V10-Engined BMW 1M Shredding Some Serious Rubber On Track
Take the 5.0-litre V10 from an E60 M5, stuff it into a stripped-out 1M coupe, and the results are predictably dramatic...
We’ve said before that the E60 M5’s legendary V10 in a diminutive 1M coupe chassis represents the ultimate BMW engine and car combination. Thankfully, there are a brave few around the world who’ve made this BMW M Division dream a reality.
Once such V10-engined 1M can be seen above, throwing some seriously smoky shapes on track. We don’t know much about this particular example, but even if the 5.0-litre has been left largely alone, it’ll be producing at least 500bhp. In a stripped out 1M, that’s one hell of an output.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

It was born as an 118d.
Yeeeeeessssss!!!!! They used my favourite engine in production
2 great cars, ruined.
Actually saw this car this year at a Nurburgring drift event, it is pretty incredible. Truth is, it is not a 1M base but a 135i converted into 1M. And the v10 fits perfectly in that car 😀
S85 ALL THE THINGS!
Wonder what happened to the old N54 motor
