This 2011 BMW 1M was delivered new to the current owner in June 2011 finished in Valencia Orange Metallic over a black leather interior with contrasting orange stitching. It has since been stored in a climate-controlled garage as part of a private collection and now shows just 4,201 total miles. This 1M is described as stock throughout, including the twin-turbocharged N54 3.0-liter inline-six, which is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The car has been serviced annually, and it is now being offered on behalf of the current owner by a friend. Factory options include the Convenience Package, Premium Package, heated front seats, a Harman/Kardon stereo, satellite radio, and BMW Apps. The sales includes the original window sticker, service documentation from new, a clear Carfax report, and a clean North Carolina title.
Valencia Orange Metallic (B44) was an optional color, and the seller states that this particular 1M retains its factory finish. The included Carfax is accident-free. The vehicle has been kept inside the original owner’s climate-controlled facility from new, and it has reportedly not been driven on the track or in any inclement weather.
The 1M is distinguished from the standard 1 Series with flared fenders, unique bumpers and side skirts, a quad-exit exhaust system, M3-style side-view mirrors, and 19″ split-spoke alloy wheels. It also utilizes the brakes, limited-slip differential, aluminum dampers, and the rear subframe and suspension components from the contemporary M3. A set of 245/35 front and 265/35 rear Michelin Pilot Sport tires are currently equipped.
The interior is trimmed in black Boston leather with deviated orange stitching and Alcantara accents on the door panels, emergency brake and shifter boots, and dashboard. An Anthracite headliner is also fitted, and the 1M was not offered with a sunroof.
Additional equipment includes heated front seats, a CD stereo, automatic climate control with A/C, and fold-down rear seats. Currently the digital odometer shows just 4,201 miles, which is backed up with service records and the Carfax report.
Under the hood is an N54 twin-turbo 3.0-liter six, which produced 335 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 370 lb-ft of torque at 1,500 rpm when new. Power is sent through a 6-speed manual gearbox, and a limited-slip differential was standard. During period testing the 1M accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. This particular car has reportedly been serviced annually from new, and in December 2017 the engine oil/filter was changed, the brake fluid was flushed, and a Takata airbag recall was performed.
The original window sticker shows all aforementioned factory options along with a total MSRP of $54,635.
The accident-free Carfax shows one North Carolina owner and consistent odometer readings from new. Several service history records are also displayed.
