MSRP for a max loaded 1M in Belgium = EUR 63,310.00.

Congratulations! Nice of Santa Claus.

Treacherous road conditions (over the last couple of hours wet snow is drizzling down over here), so be careful on the road. The 1M is like a playful kitten - resist its invitations to push the limits until the weather gets better.

Thanks mate, yes don't worry I'll be safe, and fitted with winter tires & 18" wheels.

Here you go.

• Update of the list of 1Ms with Belgian license plates: see http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...&postcount=259
• Update of the list of Belgian 1M forum members: see http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...&postcount=263

Apart from this forum, there are quite a number of Belgian 1Ms pictured on Autogespot (http://www.autogespot.com/bmw/1%20se...spottype=photo). Might feature your 1Ms too someday.

[steve79]

Yep, that's me!!

Well, on the basis of that color survey, each owner can conclude that apparently only ± 15 are around in Belgium of his 1M (except if you get the matte green wrapped one). Might be worth another markup during resale in 2026.

If all of these were sold by a Belgian BMW dealer, then 38 out of the 41 allocated to Belgian dealers have been identified so far (92,68%). It cannot be excluded though that different license plates refer to the same car (for example a demo 1M is sold, resulting into a change of license plate). Anyway, hopes are virtually dashed for those still hoping/lusting to get a new 1M from a Belgian dealership (except if BMW Germany is prepared to allocate more 1Ms to the market).

Black Sapphire Metallic (13/38 = 34.21%):
| 1-BFD-221 | 1-BGV-884 | 1-BKA-491 | 1-BLE-283 | 1-BOF-117 | 1-BPR-965 | 1-BQA-851 | 1-BQC-678 | 1-BTN-666 | 1-BVZ-599 | 1-CIH-823 | 9-BAD-001 | 9-HRH-009 |

Alpine White (13/38 = 34.21%):
| 1-BMY-911 | 1-BPJ-802 | 1-BPQ-029 | 1-BSD-835 | 1-BTQ-841 | 1-BUX-644 | 1-BVK-434 | 1-BWK-248 | 1-BWQ-999 | 1-BWW-264 | 1-CAH-851 | 1-ZAF-474 | VLJ-556 (license plate to be replaced) |

Valencia Orange (11/38 = 28.95%):
| 1-AXZ-912 | 1-BCI-854 (BMW Belux demo) | 1-BLZ-778 | 1-BMW-197 | 1-BTG-810 | 1-BTT-998 | 1-BUP-587 | 1-BVC-114 | 1-BVI-407 | 1-BWC-643 | 1-CBK-535 |

Matte Green (wrapped BSM, AW or VO) (1/38 = 2.63%):
| 1-ZAJ-057 or 1-ZAJ-056 |

1-BMW is lucky but 1-BTG-810 is really nice if the owner is a Ring addict (so he must try to do a 8'10" Bridge to Gantry....)

Nevertheless the owner is letting his one ( BTG.... )go due to the new tax law for 2012

What is the deal with that new law that it makes people let go of a mythical car?

[LuuZ]

Nope, you can rest assure, this one is a keeper.
BTW "IT" received his/hers christmas gift today .......AKRA exhaust and new suspension.

About the new tax law, well since we recently have a new governement they are passing new laws in order to rase higher taxes, and amongst them one on company cars and more speciffic those with the bigger engines.
