: ) VO does seem to get a little more attention here in the US. Though in Europe, driving the AW 1M was like being a rock star. People everywhere knew what it was. |

My experience in southern florida has been that for those who love but know little about cars, they glance over the 1M. But at times with the right crowd I will get more stares and questions then the guy driving a Ferrari in front of me in west palm / jupiter.

In Japan the fact the car wasn't officially sold by BMW and the resultant rareness (I guess max 30 in whole country) means the people that know the car at all and can further recognize it on sight is nearly zero. However those that do know it really freak out. It's like seeing a unicorn. I get to have some really great conversations.
Oh, and champignon , I respectfully suggest these as the must have shoes for a VO owner. Even I, a lowly AW owner, could not resist. I claim I got them to match the stitching... http://negroni.jp/collection/idea-corsa/

Plus, you can't find them in the US, and they are basically impossible to find even in Europe unless ordered directly from the factory, which makes them as much a unicorn as the 1M !! |

I had mine in for a replacement battery/airbag recall and oil change and for the heck of it asked them what they'd give me for a trade in and they said $45,000. I'm in Colorado and it's winter, but that seems kinda low. Sub 15,000 miles car in excellent condition. BSM

Meanwhile in Canada...
Just for shits and giggles I looked up the Canadian Black Book trade-in value for 1series M today. This is what dealers around here will normally use as a guideline when they are making their low-ball offer for your trade-in.
Except usually they will offer considerably less than what the CBB says. Also, this is in Canadian dollars, so deduct 1/3 to get $USD approximation. I find this hilarious and upsetting at the same time: |

This is actual hard information, very little of which is really available. Most of what one hears is conjecture and asking prices. Actual selling prices are generally not published or available, except possibly from some professional auctions. There are a lot of 1Ms that purport to be for sale, but that do not sell, and generally I think those cars are being listed for advertising value by dealers who often are on the shady side. These cars are sufficiently rare, at least in N. America, that every sale is essentially a one-off, local, sale. I think it would be difficult to come up with a price for a given car that was accurate even to within $5,000. |

I think that is certainly within the ballpark, given the mileage, especially if it was a private party sale. A dealer might have gotten a few thousand extra.

Yes initially and dropped it at $45,500. Made an offer and they accepted. The car is in great condition and I would love the opportunity to get in contact with the previous owner but I have no contact. I really like it and replaced my e39 M5 that I am selling now to make the 1M my DD.

I just bought mine (loaded on the truck 2 hours ago ) with 42k miles for $45k. It's a true stripper model which likely hurts short term value but I think will help long term. Congrats on your purchase. |

15,000 less miles would be worth at least $2500 to me. Congrats to both of you!

Mine is loaded with all the options and people say it hurts the value which I’m not sure how that makes sense. Either way this carsare great performers and I don’t think anybody is caring with what options they come(I certainly didn’t) but just color, miles, conditions and if the price is right. With all the high performance cars that I have owned I definitely see the mid $40k price as a great value for what you get.

Subjectively, with what this car was meant to be, I prefer the lighter, more analog stripper version but that's just me. In the end it is still a 1M! |
