This 2011 BMW 1M is one of 983 cars delivered to North America during the model’s single-year production run and was purchased new by the seller at Santa Monica BMW in California. It is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0L inline-six linked with a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Finished in Black Sapphire Metallic over black Boston leather upholstery, the car is equipped with the Convenience and Premium packages as well as 19″ Style 359M alloy wheels, a Burger Motorsports aluminum charge pipe, a K&N air filter, Black Line LED taillights, rear Park Distance Control, heated power-adjustable front sport seats, Comfort Access, a Harman Kardon surround-sound system, iDrive infotainment, navigation, and dual-zone automatic climate control. This 1M has just under 29k miles and is now offered with the owner’s manual, two keys, service records, spare parts, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic and features model-specific bumper covers, side skirts, flared fenders, and quad exhaust outlets. LED bulbs have been installed in the headlights, and additional exterior details include rain-sensing wipers, auto-dimming side mirrors, rear parking sensors, a trunk lip spoiler, and Black Line LED taillights. Blemishes viewable in the gallery include paint chips and scratches on the underside of the bumper. The replaced taillights are included in the sale.
The 19″ Style 359M alloy wheels are mounted with 245/35 front and 265/35 rear Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires showing 2017, 2018, and 2022 date codes. The 1M utilizes suspension and braking components sourced from the contemporary M3 and features Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with M Dynamic Mode (MDM) as well as Dynamic Brake Control. Stopping power is from cross-drilled and ventilated rotors at each corner. A brake fluid flush was performed in August 2022.
The heated power-adjustable front sport seats are upholstered in black Boston leather with orange contrast stitching, and Alcantara upholstery accents the shift boot, doors, and dashboard. BMW-branded floor mats line the footwells, and additional appointments include Comfort Access, BMW Assist, iDrive infotainment with navigation, a Harman Kardon surround-sound system, a CD stereo, 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 just under 29k miles, all 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. A K&N air filter and a Burger Motorsports aluminum charge pipe have been fitted. An oil change was performed in August 2022, and the battery was reportedly replaced in preparation for the sale. The car passed an emissions inspection in August 2023.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a Variable M Differential Lock.
The owner’s manual, service records, two keys, and spare parts are included in the sale.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in California. A gap between entries is present between 2011 and 2017.
