This 2011 BMW 1M is one of 983 cars delivered to North America during the model’s single-year production run and is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic over black Boston leather with orange stitching. The car is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0L inline-six mated to a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, and factory equipment includes 19″ wheels, adaptive xenon headlights, an Alcantara headliner, and a Harman Kardon audio system. The car was first registered in New York and later spent time in Pennsylvania and New Jersey before being relocated to Massachusetts after the seller’s acquisition in October 2015. Modifications consist of a BQ Tuning ECU tune, an upgraded intercooler and charge piping, an Akrapovic exhaust, a Diffsonline limited-slip differential, Ohlins DFV coilovers, and a carbon-fiber rear lip spoiler. This modified 1M has 52k miles and is offered with service records, a Carfax report, and a Massachusetts title in the seller’s name.
The 1M was visually distinguished from standard 1-Series cars with flared fenders, unique front and rear styling, and four exhaust outlets. This example is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic and equipped with gloss-black Shadowline trim, adaptive xenon headlights with aftermarket LED halo rings, and a CF Dynamics front lip paired with a BMW Motorsport carbon-fiber rear lip spoiler. The Carfax report notes “moderate damage” to the front end in a June 2017 entry, and the seller states that the front bumper cover was replaced after striking a parking-lot curb. Xpel paint protection film was reportedly applied to the front bumper and rocker panels. Dings on the roof and left-rear quarter panel are noted by the seller, along with rock chips. Detailed photos of imperfections are shown in the gallery below.
Silver 19” Style 359 wheels wear 255/35 front and 285/35 rear Bridgestone RE-71R tires showing date codes from 2015. Stopping power comes from ventilated and cross-drilled discs at all four corners. The suspension has been modified with Ohlins DFV coilovers, Vorshlag camber plates, H&R swaybars with adjustable endlinks, TMS alloy rear subframe bushings, front and rear strut braces, and SPL spherical bearings and tie-rods.
The cabin features seating surfaces upholstered in black Boston leather upholstery with orange contrast stitching as well as Alcantara accents on the shift boot, doors, dashboard, and headliner. Equipment includes power-adjustable front sport seats, automatic climate control, and a CD stereo with a Harman Kardon audio system. A CAE Ultimate Race shifter has been installed.
The Alcantara-wrapped BMW Performance V2 multifunction steering wheel features LED instrumentation and fronts a 180-mph speedometer, a tachometer, a digital information display, and gauges for oil temperature and fuel level. The odometer indicates 52k miles, approximately 35k of which have been added by the seller.
The twin-turbocharged 3.0L N54 inline-six has been fitted with 034 Motorsports 50-durometer engine mounts, a BQ Tuning tune, an AFE twin-cone intake, an AD Engineering intercooler and charge piping, Forge Motorsport diverter valves, a CSF aluminum radiator, and a Burger Motorsports oil catch-can. The seller states that an oil change and a coolant flush were performed in February 2021, and a dyno sheet is included in the gallery below.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission that has been fitted with UUC solid mounts and a clutch from a BMW F10 550i. The driveshaft was reportedly replaced with a M-Factory one-piece carbon-fiber driveshaft, and a Diffsonline limited-slip differential with 3.45:1 gearing has been installed with Turner Motorsports solid Delrin bushings. The car is equipped with VSRF catless downpipes, a MadDad mid-pipe, and an Akrapovic axle-back exhaust system.
Service records are included in the sale, and a modifications list is viewable in the gallery below.
The Carfax report shows the aforementioned June 2017 damage report along with history in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Massachussetts.
