"  The BMW 1M Coupe is a unicorn among German muscle cars: only 740 of these swollen-fendered beasts were imported to the U.S., which made the diminutive two-door an instant cult favorite with brand loyalists. BMW tuning veteran Steve Dinan knows a thing or two about building desirable Bavarian sleds, which explains why he christened a 1M Coupe as a halo vehicle to show off his hardware and software tweaks. Dinan drew 109 more horsepower out of the turbo-six (for a total of 444), and oodles more grip from the already capable suspension, making it even more compelling than its original form.   When granted seat time in this specially tuned, manual gearbox-only 1M Coupe, the motoring press (myself included) waxed poetic about its dynamic capabilities and engaging personality, making this mean little one-off even more lustworthy than the car it was based on. Now that the dust has settled and Dinan has proved his point, the attention mongering 1M in question has been put up for sale. With just over 12,000 miles on the clock, Dinan is asking $79,995 for his baby-- which, considering its $20,000 in go-fast bits, makes it appropriately priced compared to the current market value for stock 1M Coupes going for $60k, give or take. Tempted to buy this tiny hot rod? Drop a line to the Dinan guys, and tell &amp;#039;em Popular Mechanics sent you. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
