Currently, he car is still in impeccable original condition with very few flaws to note. The Valencia Orange paint shows wonderfully and is quite the head turner, specially in direct sunlight. Located on the front bumper are a few subtle nicks in the paint from high speed driving which one would not notice unless you were inspecting the car up close. Fortunately these blemishes are only in the clear bra, f which nearly 50%+ of the car is covered with. In addition, here is some curb rash on the underside of the lower front lip which can be easily corrected with a day in the body shop and is unnoticeable unless on a lift. Despite those minor issues, he remainder of the car is as it should be and resembles a very low mile car. Given that this example is practically new and has had no accidents, he panel fitment and gaps are as they were when it left the factory. All the rubbers, lass, hrome, nd plastic components present as new and have received no abuse or mistreatment during the car’s short life. The 1M sits on Y-spoke (Style 359M), light, 9 inch, ilver allow wheels that are highly appealing and have absolutely no damage whatsoever. The interior resembles much like the exterior with no significant defects to take notice of.
Upon entry the vehicle, he jams are as they were when it left the factory with all the proper markings and stickers still present. The interior itself is finished in leather, omplimented by black suede and orange stitching throughout, aking it feel like more of a car for occasion than a daily driver. The Black Boston leather seats are in superb shape and bare the M-sport logo on the face of each head rest. The center console houses many modern components including the main screen that display, avigation, ngine settings, adio, mongst many other applications. The rear seats have been lightly used, f ever, o there are no items to note as far as flaws. You can comfortably seat two average size adults in the back and there is more than enough room for a set of golf clubs in the boot. It is items such as these that allow the M cars to obtain an element of practicality that many other sport cars do not have. All in all, ike the exterior of the car, he interior has been well kept with all components operating as they are intended.
Now stepping out of the car and relocating to the front, pon opening the bonnet one will be presented with a tidy and modern engine bay. The engine cover plate reads “ BMW M” as all M cars do is some form or another. Once again there are no significant items to address for everything is still it its correct factory condition and due to limited use in combination with a dedicated caretaker, t is very clean as well with all the factory markings and labels present. Moving to the rear of the car, he boot houses the original tool kit, pare, ack, nd books that belong to this car. The underside of the car is in excellent shape without not a spec of rust or evidence of mistreatment for this example has been garage kept its whole life, ever exposed to wet or salty roads.
The drivability of this car is phenomenal and certainly drives like an M car. As far as the straight-line speed, t is quick but not uncontrollably fast. The agility and corning abilities of this car is where it shines and quite frankly where all the fun is. With the straight-six engine being at the front, ollowed by a manual six-speed gearbox, nd drive going to the rear wheels, he 1M encompasses the holy trinity of what makes an epic driver’s car. It does not stop there however; this car has a few more tricks up its sleeve. On the steering wheel there are controls for audio volume, oice command, all assist, ut most importantly there is a button that is marked “M.” When activated this launches the car into what BMW calls, Dynamic Mode, harpening throttle response, ptimizing engine output, nd backing off the traction control, llowing the driver to swing the back end out but remain in control. In short, his car contains all the ingredients that will have any enthusiast smiling ear to ear, ith a touch of tire smoke in the background.
The BMW 1M is car of rarity, uperb drivability, nd bares the M badge as well as the elements that revolve around it. This particular example is in marvelous, riginal factory condition that has been documented since it rolled off of the assembly line. These cars have not only retained their value but actually have begun to slightly appreciate as a consequence of the fact that BMW produced so few of them. Their likeability adds to the credibility of this car, n 2011 is was reviewed on Top Gear UK by no other than the infamous Jeremy Clarkson whom has been exposed to some of the best cars automotive history has to offer and has a knack for humbling just about anything he drives. Regardless of this, larkson himself could not help but rave about the 1M, inding it next to impossible to point out an item on the car that he genuinely did not approve of. Clarkson compared it to the original Golf GTI and then went onto putting it up against a Porsche Cayman R and a supercharged Lotus Evora S. The 1M is significantly quicker in a straight line sprint, ore practical, nd costs less than both of its competitors new. The BMW 1M is such a unique car that is a bit of mutt, tilizing leftover parts from other BMW models but has managed to turn out to be something quite special. The 1M has earned Mr. Clarkson’s stamp of approval as well as LBI’s with the example on offer being one of the best on the market. Included in the sale is the original window sticker, ll books, ools, anuals, ack, pare, nd service records.
