This 2011 BMW 1M is one of 983 cars delivered to North America during the model’s single-year production run, and it was purchased by the current owner on BaT in June 2022. The car is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0L inline-six linked with a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. It is finished in Alpine White over black Boston leather and features the Convenience and Premium packages as well as 19″ Style 359M alloy wheels, H&R lowering springs, xenon headlights, rear Park Distance Control, heated power-adjustable front sport seats, Comfort Access, a Harman Kardon audio, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Work under current ownership included refinishing the bumper covers and roof, refurbishing the wheels, cleaning the intake valves, and replacing the high-pressure fuel pump, battery, left door seal, and spark plugs. This 1M has 43k miles and is now offered in New Jersey by the seller on behalf of the owner with a window sticker, recent service records, a car cover, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Montana title in the name of the owner’s LLC.
The car is finished in Alpine White and features model-specific bumper covers, side skirts, flared fenders, and quad exhaust outlets. Modifications under previous ownership included the installation of rear window tinting as well as a black GPS antenna cover, mirror caps, and kidney grille surrounds. Additional details include xenon headlights, rain-sensing wipers, auto-dimming side mirrors, rear parking sensors, a trunk lip spoiler, and LED taillights. A windshield chip was filled under previous ownership, and work following the current owner’s acquisition included removing indents in the right-side wheel arches and right door, replacing the left door seal, removing vinyl wrap from the roof, and refinishing the roof and bumper covers.
The 19″ Style 359M alloy wheels were refurbished in August 2022 and are mounted with 245/35 front and 265/35 rear Bridgestone Potenza tires. The 1M utilizes suspension and braking components sourced from the contemporary M3, and H&R lowering springs were fitted under previous ownership. Service in August 2022 included replacing the sway bar end links, flushing the brake and power steering fluids, and performing an alignment.
The cabin features heated power-adjustable front sport seats and rear bucket seats upholstered in black Boston leather with orange contrast stitching, and Alcantara upholstery accents the shift boot, doors, and dashboard. Features include front seat lumbar support, ambient lighting, Comfort Access, BMW Assist, a Harman Kardon surround-sound system, a BMW Business CD stereo, navigation, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
The leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel features tri-color stitching and frames a 180-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline as well as gauges for fuel level and oil temperature. The digital odometer indicates 43k miles, approximately 250 miles of which were added under current ownership.
The twin-turbocharged 3.0L N54B30 inline-six was factory rated at 335 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, with an overboost function allowing for an additional 37 lb-ft of torque in short bursts. Service in 2022 included cleaning the intake valves, an oil change, flushing the coolant, and replacing the battery and high-pressure fuel pump.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a Variable M Differential Lock. The fluids in the transmission and differential were changed in August 2022.
The window sticker shows factory colors and equipment, initial delivery to BMW of Escondido, California, and a total vehicle price of $54,085. Recent service invoices and a car cover are included in the sale.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in California and Montana.
