This 2011 BMW 1M is finished in Alpine White over a black leather interior with contrasting orange stitching and Alcantara accents. This particular car was previously displayed in a BMW retrospective exhibit at the LeMay Car Musem in Tacoma, Washington for around a year, and the seller purchased it approximately one year ago. The odometer now shows 35,300 miles, and power comes from a twin-turbocharged N54 3.0-liter inline-six paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Factory options include rear parking sensors, heated seats, a Harman Kardon stereo, and navigation. Modifications consist of red side-view mirror caps, a carbon fiber rear lip spoiler, aftermarket pedal covers, and a Dinan exhaust system. This 1M is now being offered with a clear Carfax and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
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. This particular car features optional rear parking sensors as shown above.
This 1M has not required any exterior repairs during the seller’s ownership, and the included Carfax is accident and damage-free. The exterior is detailed via nearly 60 pictures in the gallery below, including known cosmetic imperfections.
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 was also standard, and the 1M was not offered with a sunroof.
Additional equipment includes navigation, heated front seats, a Harman Kardon stereo, automatic climate control with A/C, and fold-down rear seats. Currently the digital odometer shows just under 35,300 miles, approximately 2,500 of which were added by the seller.
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 1M is fitted with a Dinan exhaust system, and the seller believes that it may also have had a Dinan chip and airbox installed prior to their ownership, though they have not been able to confirm for sure. The most recent oil service was completed about six months ago according to the seller.
30+ undercarriage photos are displayed in the gallery below.
The accident-free Carfax reports registration in Kentucky until 2013 and California registration since. Consistent odometer readings and a number of service history records are also displayed.
