New 1-Series M Coupe lives up to BMW's fabled M badge.

Driven: The $99,990 BMW M-car (Video Thumbnail)
It's a car BMW said it wasn't going to build, yet here it is: an M-badged version of the company's smallest model, the 1-Series.

The German car maker still holds its M1 supercar of the late 1970s in such esteem, however, that the baby performance car instead adopts
the name 1-Series M coupe.

Is it just a fast 1-Series or a junior M3, though? Jez Spinks and the DriveTV crew head to Italy's famously twisty Stelvio Pass to find out.
