My CA confirmed no 1M in 2012

1M Fan · 08-25-2011, 02:07 PM

I got an email form my CA asking, did you know the 1M is being dropped next year?

Yup, a one year only car?

James T. Kirk · 08-25-2011, 02:11 PM

Are you asking? Either way, the answer is yes. 2011 production only. Get it while it lasts!

speedM · 08-25-2011, 02:12 PM

Really? My CA claims I have a 2012 M1 on order.. lol.

No, not asking, just stating the conversation

James T. Kirk · 08-25-2011, 02:23 PM

Well... nice to converse with you.

The reason for the limited run of one year has a lot to do with homologation. With emissions becoming more and more stringent, it would have been difficult to re-certify the 1M.

Furthermore, BMW really didn't seem to have their finger on the car's potential popularity. The decision to produce a 2012 model would have had to have been decided months ago.

The limited run is going to make the 1M legendary and highly collectible.

1SerieStud · 08-25-2011, 02:32 PM

Your CA is an idiot for 2 reasons: 1) the M1 hasn't been produced in decades, 2) the 1M will not be produced for the US market in 2012.

My dad's CA confirmed him there was no car coming to Canada in 2012 too. Internal email was sent a while back about that at BMW NA/Canada...

Just goes to show you shouldn't believe any CA as the last word on anything (though in reality they all seem to switch from calling it a 1M/M1, I just ignore it).

M1 huh i didnt know BMW was bringing that back

dicker · 08-25-2011, 03:06 PM

It's common knowledge.

Everything at this point has switched over from 2011 to 2012 except the E90 and the E82M

the E90 ceases production in October and the E82M Ceases in Dec (for the US Market).

Good to chat with you too. I do believe BMW underestimated the car's popularity. I also believe The 1M was a marketing exercise to gauge the interest in a small M car. I hope the next 1m or 2M is as good.

There will be an M2 (not a 2M), and BMW has already put a patent on the name

James T. Kirk · 08-25-2011, 04:06 PM

The M2 should be glorious, but not as rare as the 1M as progenitor of a new era. Kaplah!
