They are one offs for BMW employees and special customers but all costs are handled in advance before work commences.
There are several BMW AG executives and family and friends who have personalised 1M Coupe's.

Totally reasonable explanation and the execs and families of course get some perks(lucky dogs). But, couldn't BMW offer another color that is already being used in the Leipzig plant?

One "worker" made a comment that this was NOT the only "specail" 1M to be built in a special color before - just that it is the first one that the public has seen. He mentioned that normally the plant tours are cancelled when such special cars are run thru the line.

I had a feeling that wouldn't be the only special colored 1M. I'd love to see the others.

Papethova · 06-22-2012, 04:11 PM

Id like to see what other unique Ms rolled out

minigearhead · 06-22-2012, 04:11 PM

great stuff...especially if the seats have the green stitching. who's it going to and for how much?

SCOTT26 · 06-22-2012, 04:13 PM

To keep it exclusive they only offered three colors to customers.

All in all I think about 10 special request @ cost Individual 1M's were produced.
They were several requests on regular individual but every one was rejected.

ya I was rejected

can you tell us more about the 10 special ones? At least what exterior color?

FactoryFast · 06-22-2012, 04:24 PM

meh.

Frosty · 06-22-2012, 04:32 PM

Fantastic Colour!

SCOTT26 · 06-22-2012, 04:40 PM

I think two or three in Singapore. I have seen a Fire Orange in Berlin and Red in London but I am not sure if that is a aftermarket paint wrap. I know of a Frozen Grey and classic Polaris Silver @ BMW to match someones 2002.
There has been another Java green.
Some customers have even received (@ cost) Safety Car features.
When I say @ cost because they are only one-offs cust. had to pay extra, for manufacturing as they are not volume produced.

Frosty · 06-22-2012, 04:58 PM

..I did not know Polaris SIlver

What the hell is BMW doing only making this car for such a short time. They could have easily have carried this car indefinitely.

red-sauerkraut · 06-22-2012, 06:20 PM

Might as well considering they whored out the Orange that was to be do special. So special you can now get a X1 w/it. LOL

vladberca · 06-22-2012, 06:21 PM

I think that M2 will not have a limited production... Curious to see the differences vs M 135i...

Powerbeast · 06-22-2012, 07:06 PM

It's cool cause it's different but I don't like the color.

bmw1mc · 06-22-2012, 07:29 PM

I like!

Would've liked to have had the option from BMW to choose my own color!

esquire · 06-22-2012, 07:39 PM

sorry guys... but that color is a legitimate disaster on the 1M.
