Highlights

THIS... is a 2011 BMW 1M, finished in Valencia Orange Metallic with a black interior, and will be displayed at the Cars & Bids Cars & Coffee at Archive on Saturday, September 19th, 2026.

• This 1M has reportedly been registered mostly in California since new.
• According to the window sticker provided in the gallery, notable factory equipment includes the Premium Package, 19-inch Style 359M wheels, Boston leather upholstery, heated front seats, automatic climate control, and a CD player.
• Notable modifications reported by the seller include a VRSF 5-inch intercooler, an Evolution Racewerks N54 charge pipe, a TiAL Q blow-off valve, Berk Technology BT1801-MP resonated mid-pipes, and secondary catalytic converters removed.
• The M version of BMW's 1 Series coupe, called E82 internally, was intended to be a limited-production model, but it proved popular enough to warrant tripling the original production quota to just over 6,300 units (although fewer than 1,000 were delivered in North America). Its turbocharged engine was a polarizing departure from previous M cars, as was its funky styling — and yet, the 1M has gained a substantial and loyal following since production ended in 2012. The seller reports that this BMW was used as a press vehicle prior to the first owner purchasing the vehicle.
• Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-6, rated at 335 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Due to the modifications performed to this 1M, it may produce more power, but a dyno sheet was not provided to confirm. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.
