Which 1M?
Looking at trading in my M4 for a 1M. Narrowed it down to two options.
AW with ~27k miles and good service records for $53k offering $62k trade in. Warranty still intact. VO with ~46k miles with a late (6k) break in for $49k offering $64k trade in. No warranty. Both car are same options, but you can see that there is a $6k spread between the cars when taking the trade in value into account. I always kinda preferred VO but ~27k miles is really good for the AW at that price and condition. AW is really good too. Both car are in really good condition. What would people here do? |

My first white 1M was a daily driver. I sold it waited for M3, M235 or M2 but the new cars don't do it for me so I went back and bought VO so I have personal experience with both colors. I hope you come on board! Best wishes. |

Clearly your trade value is a large factor in this deal as well - are both of these 1Ms at BMW dealers? |

The VO is at a Porsche dealer. The AW is at a used car dealer which specializes in exotics. |

Also my personal belief is that the no nav cars especially the ones with the lighter manual seats and non motorized mirrors etc are significantly different from the current idrive units which makes them not just lighter and 1 1/2" more headroom but also more classically beautiful than idrive 1Ms. I love the clean classic sports at cockpit of my 1M which was a significant part of what turned me off to the mandatory idrive BMW s of today. Not to mention less to go wrong as its a used car. I recommend before you buy to sit in a no nav 1M with manual seats. They are less common than loaded ones but they are out there. If you are tall you will appreciate the lower seating position and the timeless look. |

Hi, you have a nice problem :O) I thought long and hard between AW and VO. Having bought AW i am so pleased with it - so i'm biased but that is what i'd go for. I love VO, but in my opinion it only looks outstanding when clean and in bright sunlight. Otherwise it can look a bit dull. AW looks good (to me at least) in good light and poor,and even when a bit dirty.
I would definitely go for the lowest mileage car, and anyway a straight $6k diff for 20k miles makes the lower mileage car look better value. Good luck Nick

I m love the orange ( and all proper beight color) but i went for an Aw as the car condition was great ( full bmw service history) and on top of that i manage to secure a 5 years warranty.
So to me go for the on in the best condition. I fully agree on the Cs side as it is more pure (i admit i have one) even so the weight gain is really small. |

either are a good deal. i just like that the mileage is a bit lower. however if a 1M is well maintained i believe it will go for many years to come.

If like to jump on the pile and say aw. Nine of the 1m colors look bad and to me quality and new feeling trump looks every time. So I'd take the lower mileage car and enjoy more worry free miles on the road.

Yes, but a single owner maintained 40K mile car might be better than one that has been moved through 3 dealerships and an auction where every joe that works there has test driven it cold many, many, many times and the oil changes were 2 years and 15K miles apart. I know what you mean but I can guarantee that my car was 10 times more lovingly cared for than a car that has been through several dealerships. Not that you shouldn't buy one either but just taken into account.

That's what you want! Entire history. That sounds like a winner! Good luck. Hope it works out!
