If you’re a regular visitor to our site you’ll know that we adore the BMW 1M Coupé. Launched in South Africa in 2011, just 71 units made their way onto our roads and were sold out before they even rolled off the boat in the port of Durban. Similarly, their recommended retail price of around R550 000 was a pipe dream, as many buyers and 3rd-party dealers chose to flip them for a quick buck at around R750 000.
The 1M Coupe is quite obviously considered a modern classic and therefore likely to be revered by most owners, who wouldn’t think of ‘bastardising’ it with modifications. There’s often a niggling desire, or buring for some, to get a little bit extra from a car. So instead of a few bolt-on bits ‘n bobs from your local performance parts shop, what if you handed the car over to a professional tuning company with years of experience and who guarantee their workmanship for 4-years? Let Matt Farah introduce you to Dinan and their S3-R BMW 1M Coupe.
