2011 BMW 1 Series M
Six Speed Manual Transmission
Valencia Orange | Boston Black Leather
Very limited production car... Only 740 units produced for the United States market.
This is BMW's treat for the Enthusiasts who long for a pure, simple, light weight BMW M Car. The 1M ONLY is only offered in a Six Speed Manual Transmission. This particular one is a True purist car. It is not weighted down with any unnecessary electronics or options. Even has manually operated seats without the seat warmers, no idrive, no navi screen, no parking sensors. Technology and electronics will fade and become dated in due time ... great engineering will be timeless.
The 1M is smaller and lighter than it's big brother M3. With a shorter wheelbase and massive torque, the 1M has a more playful and delicate feel while matching the M3 handling and performance. It commands a sense of agility and a stable attitude in hard cornering, the large cross-drilled disc brakes at all four corners provided abundant stopping power. The quickened steering ratio and the transmission's short throws added to the feeling of precision.
There are only a handful of these cars in circulation. This one has very low miles and its in great shape. Well maintained. Don't miss out on owning a piece of BMW HISTORY!!! This car is an investment that will only continue to soar in value...
Edmunds.com says : "The 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe is a fantastically compelling machine. It is fast -- faster in real-world terms than the M3 on most roads. It has a truly brawny engine that sounds great at wide-open throttle, handles with all the precision expected of a car wearing the evocative M badge, and is super practical given its performance brief."
