The new BMW 1 Series M Coupé will be officially presented at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show in January, but BMW is slowly releasing some information regarding its hot little coupé to whet our appetite. The compact 1 Series M should get back to its roots after some BMW purists may be skeptical about the current BMW M3.

The new model will be equipped with a 3.0-litre, in-line six, twin turbo engine with 340 hp and strictly a six-speed manual gearbox. No torque features have been released but BMW expects this little number to weigh in at about 1,500 kg and pricing should sit between the M3 and the 135i Coupé.

It looks like BMW is aiming for a real enthusiast’s car despite doing silly stuff like releasing this ‘teaser’ shots which we don’t really understand the point of. For the rest of the official details, and we imagine some proper pics, we’ll have to wait until mid-December.
