Where are all the 1Ms in mil sales?
We know Stuttgart has two (Drillslinger-BSM &? ) Heidelberg has one AW (fuzzy_dunlop) with two more (rikx1M - VO & dubso -?) coming also.......how about Ktown and Ramstein, Graf/Hohenfels and Wiesbaden?

So settled for a great car...really didn't lose keeping my 135. Looked into mods and realized the N55 wasn't as easy to mod as the N54...another limitation but livable. Then all the reviews from USA, from Germany, from UK, from Top Gear, from Australia....kept commenting on how great the 1M was and that it fixed most if not all shortcomings of the 135...most of the kind of mods and $$ I was going to make already with my N55 135...damn...now I want the 1M again. The rest is history. I hope to finally have it in 2-3 weeks...don't foresee selling this one. |

I spoke to Mattias on that one. The guy is downrange and comes back in December time frame.
Rikx, There was a VO 1M here but the guy already shipped it to the states. He picked it up from Schweinfurt 3 months ago. I thought the dealer at Bamberg (Bavarian Motor Cars) had a US specs wrapped one in gray?

I keep seeing articles about the 1M vs TT RS vs Cayman R and it really steams me up. Yes, these cars are amazing for MSRP but YOU CAN'T FIND ANY FOR MSRP!
With all the great press the 1M has gotten I think people that would normally be in a higher cost bracket are poaching, pricing these nearly attainable cars right out of my range again. I asked the Mainz-Kastel agent again today, said I'd heard rumors of 1Ms in Stuttgart. He laughed said he could have sold 50 if they would have let him, said he showed my email to the Stuttgart Pentagon Sales agent and he said the same thing. Should I be talking to someone else? |

The guy at Bavarian motor cars that I bought my 135 from said he could more than likely reserve me a slot with a $5k deposit there's just no telling when I would actually get the car.

BB plates are Boeblingen (Stuttgart area) so the BSM spotted could have been me or the "other guy" down here.
I doubt that either Dennis or Pam at the Stuttgart MSP (Cars Intl) would have laughed. I pestered the hell out of them (in a friendly manner of course) for months and they both understand how frustrated we are. The problem is, BMW just wouldn't let MSP dealers put in any orders. When I got "the call" I had to give my answer there and then (a definitive YES). Both Stuttgart slots were filled in about 10 minutes.

So who owns this 1M? I took this picture by chance on July 16th at the Welt. I think it must have been one of the very first military car sales(US specs and Stutgart plates)! I think it was a month or two later that Drillslinger got his and we started to see some other MCS posts.
Ok, never mind... I just read Drillslinger's reponse in that other thread... http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=585748 |

It's a very odd situation. In every other respect my dealer is AMAZING. And why wouldn't he take the opportunity to sell me a more expensive car? Perhaps some dealerships are getting completely frozen out of allotments?
Now the question is: after taking a huge depreciation hit AND buying a couple thousand dollars worth of parts that wouldn't transfer over, do I even attempt to fish for a 1M. |
