Lets just say its accurate

JasonCSU · 10-20-2011, 10:13 AM

Those were estimates for North America. It's possible that there might only be 680 in the U.S.

But seriously OP we need more info. PM me please!

Red Bread · 10-20-2011, 10:19 AM

Interesting, very, very close to total US production of Z3 M Coupes with the S54, which have held their value very well.

When you say NA, does that include Canada? Canada is supposed to have 200, so total roughly 880 in NA then.

Exactly. Assuming Musclez source is correct and Canada gets 200 that would be correct.

ND40oz · 10-20-2011, 10:38 AM

If that's right, no wonder it's so hard to get one, the US only got 180 more then the UK? Currently, the UK only has roughly 1000 registered 135i's, that's a pretty good ratio of 1M's to 135i's. Wonder what the ratio is going to end up being in the US.

Mahlzeit · 10-20-2011, 11:21 AM

MM,... Any hints as to the source at least?

I have no idea how much weight to give your statement. I see you post often, thanks,.... but not sure that necessarily indicates solid insider info. And if 680 is true - why would it be a closely held secret?

+1...need more info

TunedM2C · 10-20-2011, 11:43 AM

I'll believe it when BMW officially says it.

bmwmck · 10-20-2011, 12:05 PM

i hope it's true!

Actually its 230 more than the UK, The 1M was always a limited run of 450 from launch in UK

Artemis · 10-20-2011, 12:48 PM

As written a couple of days ago, a recent South-African review of the 1M (Oct 13, 2011) (http://www.iol.co.za/motoring/road-t...ight-1.1156742) quoted a specific production figure for worldwide production:
"The 1 Series M Coupé is a factory-built hot rod limited to 2452 units worldwide, of which only 71 were allocated to South Africa and all are accounted for already. "
This is lower than the 2700-ish production figure which was regularly quoted in the past.

BMW Blog in January 2011: "In the US, BMW has not officially confirmed the number of 1M units available, but some of our sources hinted to around 600 units. In a workshop we attended with Dr. Kay Segler, BMW M boss, he said there is no limit on how many 1M’s can be built."
http://www.bmwblog.com/2011/01/17/bm...mited-numbers/
So the 680 figure is in line with that early message.

Comparison: production of E46 M3 CSL (2004): only 1383 cars - was not for sale in the US. It seems that the European market gets approximately the same number of 1Ms + ± 1000 RoW (US, Canada, Australia, South-Africa, etc.).

However, the initial allocation for Australia (100 1Ms) was doubled this Summer. "The extra 100 units will roll into Australia through the first three quarters of 2012, eked out of a production boost that finishes mid-2012".

bmwmck · 10-20-2011, 12:57 PM

^hmm wonder where they got that number. sounds about right though

NihonX · 10-20-2011, 01:50 PM

I was told 2600 worldwide during my ED. We'll have to wait to see real numbers in the up and coming months.

Oops, don't know why I was thinking 500, still a lot considering they only sold an average of 250 135i's a year.

ADVANT123 · 10-20-2011, 02:51 PM

What actually surprises me is that people are still finding "New" cars for sale at dealerships- you would think that with only 680 cars being brought to the US, this car would have sold out months ago...

mikewills · 10-20-2011, 03:27 PM

A source would be great, but this seems to be consitant with the info tjm129 received from the M Studio yesterday.

m3kerry · 10-20-2011, 03:34 PM

They aremaking as many as they can until early next year. The us will only get the 600 to 800 due to the emissions, but the rest of the world is wide open.

I talked to the guys at the m studio while taking Ed about 3 weeks ago.
