Here's something I don't understand. Everyone keeps saying the reason they gave as to why the car can't be sold stateside after 2011 is due to N54 emmisions issues. Yet the 2012 740i will be sold with the same N54 engine. (And yes it is being sold with N54 not N55, per all the rags). So the emmisions statement doesn't seem to hold much H2O..

Sort of! The Aus equivalent of Department of Motor Vehicles work off the compliance plate and so do the insurance companies. So yes, in your example this would be a 2012 model even though the BMW build plate is December 2011. However, needless to say that when you try and trade in the car the dealer will attept to knock the price down by claiming it is really a 2011 !!!! Some people here prefer to only buy imported cars from Feb/March onwards, when they can be confident that both the compliance plate and the build plate will be current year.

IMO the photos would be more meaningful if it was the actual manufacturers window sticker, we all know how reliable some dealerships are with their facts.

Again this post is all just rumor and speculation until proven reliable by BMW themselves!

Sounds like production will be over in December from the Only Factory building the 1M for World consumption based on this response.

It could also suggest that the 1M will continue to be produced through the month of December and possibly until the next gen 1 series begin production in March. Just sayin' Neil |

Funny, but going to the BMW Mexico website, you can configure the 1M but nowhere it specifies what model year it is...
If you configure a normal 1 series it clearly states 2012 model. For comparison on the Canadian website, 1M is 2011 and other 1 series are 2012...

I left our tour guide at Lepzig a long shopping list of questions. That was one of them. I will also ask tomorrow - I am in Munich for a special BMW tour. Don't hate me! |

Some new news guys... yesterday I toured BMW's M Studio in Garching along with M3Adjuster. Our tour guide ( he is in marketing) told us something interesting. He said as far as he knows the 1M production will only be for one calendar year. Nothing new here. But what he did say was that total global production will be around 6,000 cars. And that the USA will get about half of those. This figure is MUCH higher than what I have seen mentioned before.

talking about annoying... BMW in Switzerland has introduced a new Communication package and gives a so called "Euro discount", which reduces the list price of the 1M (with the needed options) by almost 10% (about 9'000 USD) Nice if you just bought one
