Highlights
THIS... is a 2011 BMW 1M, finished in Valencia Orange Metallic with a black interior.
- This 1M is a Canadian-spec coupe that's titled and located in California. It has a metric instrument cluster and a digital odometer that reads in imperial units. The odometer currently displays approximately 38,400 miles.
- According to the build sheet provided in the gallery, notable factory equipment includes 19-inch Style 359M wheels, Boston leather upholstery, heated front seats, Alcantara interior trim, and a navigation system. Notable modifications reported by the selling dealer are limited to a VRSF charge pipe, an aftermarket front lip spoiler, and black kidney grilles.
- 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. 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.
- Power comes from an N54 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-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.
