That is the white 1M that "//M GmbH" is using for BMW VIP's to "test" out the car. Note the same German plates IF you don't know someone at //M don't bother asking for a ride.

I want to know where the BSM 1M is hanging out IRL.

You know the one, filmed by the motorcyclist.

The people at the Welt told me there are very, very few running cars out. Most are early prototypes - not production ready cars - that (BMW can show) people.

I would think by the end of this month Leipzig will have made a few 1M's for BMW AG and its customers. We shall see. Once they get some cars delivered - I bet slaes will really take off for the 1M.

Steel grey has class while showing off the lines of the vehicle, none of the current choices do this. The VO shows off the lines well, but it's orange...

I guess there will be one more for the rest of you...

This will be a great car for sure though...

I voted for Valencia Orange because it's just plain beautiful. If that wasn't an option my second pick would be for Alpine White. In these pics it really pops!!!

this is the way i see it. VO is the best color for the car however as a daily driver i think its a bit much. white is plain but when clean and modded it has the best potential. Black is amazing looking however i would never own a black car. i am way to anal and rather not spend my weekends making sure i dont have a swirl mark on the paint. being that its my daily driver i picked white and dont think i made the wrong mistake. while the VO makes the car look great and sexy, nothing shows off the wild lines like white

That's exactly how I see it too. My car for the past 5 years was black, and what a PITA. But very rewarding when clean. I would have loved White (that is the color the girls love from the opinions I've gathered), and I'm sure yours will be hot. I think it looks the best from the front and rear. But, they already started building my BSM before I could make up my mind! Black it is...can't believe we couldn't see it in person first though.

black is going to look amazing. when clean its pretty damn hard to find a color that looks better. i wanted the orange and i think its great but as a daily driver i had to skip. i am a fan of motorsport. white is a true motorsport color. always has been and always will be. i also know that this is not the right way to think but if you ever got in a fender bender with that VO, good friggin luck matching that paint.
