EMOTIONAL. EXCITING. CUSTOM-FIT.
As is customary for BMW M, all components are harmonised with each other and with the specific character of the model. In addition to enhancing the car’s sporty and dynamic appearance, the M Performance Parts also bring motorsport characteristics such as lightweight construction and enhanced aerodynamics.
M PERFORMANCE PARTS IN DETAIL.
M PERFORMANCE PARTS IN DETAIL.
The lightweight construction parts in a new carbon fibre look and components in high-gloss black really showcase the 1 Series’ sporty appearance, while at the same time highlighting the lines of its body. For the first time, it uses the innovative CF-SMC Carbon, crafted elaborately by hand before being sealed with a clear finish and given a high-gloss polish, creating a special depth effect and a finely differentiated, multi-layered look.
The M Performance front splitter, horizontal-flow rear spoiler and aero flicks in high-gloss black are inspired by motorsport and optimise the car’s aerodynamics. BMW M Performance Parts also offers the new M kidney grille with a striking mesh design as a retrofitting solution.
The side lettering in Frozen Black highlights the model's new proportions, adding an attractive accentuation to the body. Also striking are the high-gloss black side sill inserts, rear diffuser and exterior mirror caps in lightweight carbon fibre.

In keeping with its increased driving dynamics, the new BMW 1 Series can also be fitted with the M Performance sports brake system, whose striking characteristics are enhanced deceleration performance and increased thermal resilience – even in extreme conditions. With calipers finished in red, the brakes’ attractive appearance provides a perfect match for the car’s sporty design style; this is showcased especially effectively in combination with an open wheel design.
As compared to the standard brake system, the front axle has larger inner-vented, perforated discs in lightweight design, which are powerfully gripped by 4-piston fixed calipers. The amply sized calipers are made of am aluminium alloy to save weight. The rear axle features matching lightweight construction brake discs with a single-piston floating caliper.

ALL-ROUND PERFECTION.
Matching the sports brake, BMW M offers the high-quality M Performance forged wheel Y-Spoke 554M in an 18-inch format. This weight-optimised summer wheel in Jet Black matt features a multicoloured graphic print that perfectly showcases the M Performance inscription and M logo. The light alloy wheel Y-Spoke 711M in Ferric Grey is likewise available in an 18-inch format. This winter wheel is suitable for use with snow chains and can also be combined with the M Performance sports brake.
SPORTY UPON ENTRY.
SPORTY UPON ENTRY.
As you enter the new 1 Series, its BMW door projectors provide a sporty welcome. As the interface between the car’s exterior and interior, they project either the BMW M logo or other graphics onto the ground next to the vehicle. The lighting not only ensures comfort and safety when entering and exiting the vehicle, it also creates a very exclusive, distinctive atmosphere. The sporty motifs are clearly perceptible, even at dusk.
Distinctive touches of sporty enhancement are also available in the interior, complementing the 1 Series’ usual comfort and refinement. The M Performance steering wheel with distinctive Alcantara grip area and large thumb rest offers genuine racing feeling, for example. In addition to the steering wheel's pleasant touch and excellent grip, exclusive visual accentuations are provided by the red marking at the 12 o’clock position and the silver-grey hand-sewn cross-stitching. Its sporty high-tech character can be further enhanced with the M Performance steering wheel trim, for which there is a choice between carbon fibre/Alcantara and carbon fibre/leather. In both cases, the 6 o’clock detail bears the M Performance inscription.
For vehicles with Steptronic sports transmission, high-quality M Performance carbon fibre shift paddles can be selected to provide further motor racing atmosphere in the cockpit.
The racing ambience is rounded off by the high-quality velvet velour floor mats with embroidered M Performance inscription, a leather-look surround complete with contrasting seam and a pennant in the typical blue, light blue and red M colours. In addition to their sporty look, the non-slip and high-grip floor mats provide an excellent fit.
