BMW hasn't done the best job of keeping its 2012 1 Series M Coupe a secret. The hot new two-door isn't scheduled to make its public debut until the Detroit Auto Show next month, but we've already seen dozens of teaser images and videos. Heck, we've even driven a prototype.

Now, BMW has released video of the production-ready 1M with all of its swirly paper removed. Its bulgy, brash front end and wider stance certainly look the part of a serious baby brother to the M3, and while official numbers have yet to be confirmed, we're indeed looking forward to flogging all 340-ish horsepower via a standard six-speed manual transmission.

Check out the video for yourself, after the jump, and stay tuned for the official details as they break.
