More spy shots have emerged of the upcoming BMW 1-Series M model.

This set of pics here show the camouflaged 1-Series M sporting a new quad-exhaust set-up. The quad-exhaust is a signature of BMW's M division models. Earlier spyshots showed a 1-Series M prototype doing some testing at the Nurburgring circuit. These latest shots capture the 1er M prowling the streets somewhere in the south of Germany, learning the ways of driving on public roads.

We've previously reported that M division Managing Director Dr. Kay Segler confirmed that BMW was working on an M version of the 1-Series that will be based on the current 135i model. One can only assume that the power figure for the 1er M will be substantially more than the 240kW (322 bhp/ 326 PS) that comes with the Performance Power Kit enhanced 135i.

So, how much power can we expect out of the compact 1-Series? Probably somewhere between 350 and 375 PS would be our guess.
