BMW 1-Series M Coupe briefly revealed [video]

BMW has just released this final peek-a-boo of the hotly anticipated 1-Series M Coupe following an almost endless series of teasers.  

It was only yesterday we swiftly reported the muted unveiling at the Autosport Awards ceremony in London with Dr. Kay Segler and WTCC driver Andy Priaulx and now BMW has released this video showing the full body but only for a moment (use the pause button).

While BMW is still keeping a lot of details under wraps, the company has previously stated the 1-Series M will weigh approximately 1500 kg (3,307 lbs) and feature a chassis, braking system and rear differential similar to the M3.

Furthermore, the car will be powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine with 340 bhp (254 kW / 345 PS) as confirmed by Dr. Segler in yesterday's video. It will be mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission, which should allow the 1-Series M to accelerate from 0-60 mph in less than five seconds.

With the public debut scheduled for the North American International Auto Show, the full media release is expected to be come this Friday the 10th but could still come any moment.
