Only 17,000 km . . . asking $82,000. Is reality finally biting?

with the m235i and other m cars coming out soon, the 1M will fall like a stone, could be a good time to get out |

I'd jump at the chance to get a 1M as soon as they come anywhere near my toy budget. |

Don't bet on it...low volume M cars always command a premium...the new M cars (M3/M4) are not exactly cheap and the M235i is not a full on M car.
I don't think the 1M price will move too much. |

In the US they treat the 1M like a rare collectable . . . and they still sometimes sell for more than original list price. I'm pretty sure there are more 1Ms for sale in Oz than in the USA!

M car is about Chassis, not the engine..as per Chris Harris's comment on how he sees the 1M.
The engine is also a tweaked version of the N54, not the same as a normal N54. The 1M is a real M car is the eyes of BMW, that's good enough for me! |

Karmic, DON'T fall for his BS.
People who talk up the virtues of E92's M's with a S/C for years then go buy an Audi (whist hanging around here adding tiresome and old one liners) have little cred, sorry, no cred. |

skidz makes a good point.
BMW is diluting their halo brand by sticking M badges on just about everything in their range. It takes away from the rarity and the prestige of driving an M car. Audi and MB do this to a certain extent too but BMW is really taking it to the next level. |

A bit off topic too but I agree. I went to look at the new 4 series and they had these M badges on the front fender. Ugh. A bit OTT. The E82 135 was good in terms of a badging. I'm not a fan of the M135i's M badge. And they had the LCI 5er there. Again with the front fender M badge. Looks out of place...
AMG is getting up there with badges too. Audi have been doing it with S-line. I guess they're all copying each other hehe |

Having had two 1Ms I would have thought that says a lot about how good the car was Dump is an interesting choice of words too, I dumped a Porsche (to buy the 1M) and an M3, all in the past two years haha Anyways, see you over at OZAudi. |
