With just 31,000 km from new and finished in the legendary Valencia Orange Metallic, this BMW 1M is the kind of car enthusiasts spend years searching for. With only 6,342 examples produced worldwide, the 1M has firmly earned its place among the most desirable modern BMW M cars ever built.
This particular example was ordered with every available factory option and has been tastefully enhanced with a full Akrapovic exhaust system featuring carbon fibre tailpipes, delivering an unmistakable soundtrack to match its aggressive character. It also sits perfectly on H&R lowering springs, giving it an even more purposeful stance without compromising drivability.
The 1M's muscular presence is impossible to ignore. Aggressively flared fenders, a wider track, quad exhaust outlets, and signature BMW M styling cues create one of the most distinctive and celebrated designs to ever wear an M badge. Compact, lightweight, and beautifully proportioned, the 1M delivers a raw, connected driving experience that has become increasingly rare in today's performance car market.
Power comes from BMW's renowned 3.0L twin-turbocharged N54 inline-six, producing 335 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, with an overboost function increasing torque to 369 lb-ft when called upon. Paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, the 1M rockets from 0-100 km/h in under five seconds while delivering the kind of engagement that has made it a modern classic.
What truly sets the 1M apart is its remarkable balance of everyday usability and track-ready capability. Massive low-end torque, razor-sharp throttle response, and a perfectly sized chassis make every drive memorable, whether you're carving through mountain roads or simply enjoying a weekend cruise.
Inside, the cabin remains focused on the driver, featuring supportive leather sport seats with orange contrast stitching, Alcantara accents, and the signature thick-rimmed M steering wheel. Every touchpoint reinforces the car's motorsport-inspired personality.
Underneath, the 1M borrows heavily from the E92 M3, including its rear subframe, limited-slip differential, suspension components, and braking system. Combined with its short wheelbase and near-perfect weight distribution, the result is a car that feels alive in your handsplayful, precise, and endlessly rewarding.
The BMW 1M wasn't simply a special editionit was a statement. Today, it stands as one of BMW M's greatest achievements and one of the most sought-after driver's cars of the modern era. Opportunities to own a low-kilometer, highly optioned example like this are becoming increasingly rare.
For collectors, enthusiasts, and purists alike, this is the one to own.
