Original 1M owners Roll Call!

rad doc · 07-03-2013, 11:06 AM

0$ down, ordered 05/11. Took delivery 07/11. Got lucky on that!

DD at 24k.

No plans to sell. Too good of a car and nothing that compares as a DD. Just starting to mod.

Die ///M Rakete · 07-03-2013, 11:11 AM

August '11 build, in my garage in September '11

And as far as selling it...who in their right mind would discard the irreplaceable

?

Mahlzeit · 07-03-2013, 11:15 AM

Still got mine.

Super fun car. Best part is it came pre-modd'ed from the factory. Haven't needed to touch it. Yet.

NjSant · 07-03-2013, 11:23 AM

Had been calling dealerships all over the country from May 2011 until one day in September when I called my local dealership, who I have a good relationship with. It was really a shot in the dark but then he told me he had a guy back out of a car at the last minute and it was on the lot already!

Took delivery a week later, 12.5k miles and loving every second of it.

tjm129 · 07-03-2013, 11:32 AM

Started bugging my dealer in Nov / Dec of 2010, firmed up my request after seeing it at the Chicago auto show in Feb of 2011. We got a confirmation that I was getting my dealers only allocation in July 2011, August production and took european delivery October 2011 and reunited back home in December 2011.

Currently 14,400 miles, love the car, no plans to sell anytime soon, still makes me grin like an idiot.

June 2011 built. Took delivery late September 2011.

Got all available bells and whistles. Added an extra fun package, though (BBS CH-R wheels + Akrapovič Slip-On Line (axle back exhaust) with wireless remote control + N55 midpipe).

Got it simply because I like it. Did not get it for financial investment purposes, but for fun investment purposes !

It's the kinda stuff motoring dreams are made of. A license to grin. No risk of excitement wearing off or getting bored. No resale plans on the horizon. Hopefully it is kept safe from harm so that the long term relationship is well-preserved and the motoring fun well-deserved.

Currently 24,000 kms.

yemski · 07-03-2013, 11:48 AM

Jay-K · 07-03-2013, 02:11 PM

Finding a replacement for my E92 Coupe.. decided that i want a 1M.. but it was too late.. there was no 1M's left in the dealership.. it was February 2013 x_x.. the search began for an AW, very luckily i did found one and it was in almost perfect condition! did not even bargain with the guy..

got it with only 1400km did not even pass the running-in yet, towed to my house at 4 march 2013.. i love this car so much, did not usually drive manual but this car made me fall in love with its transmission, pure driving pleasure..

LOVE EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF THIS CAR, MODDING IT of course..
AW 2011 1M Coupe
2500km NOT INTENDING TO SELL THIS CAR, LIKE EVER.. lol

4 March 2013, 1.30am in the morning, directly drive it to fill the tank in the middle of the night, oh boy that was one of the most exciting moments in my life!,, and yeah everyday had "that" first drive!

wish to drive it more,,

Not looking to sell it anytime soon

M3 Adjuster · 07-03-2013, 04:16 PM

Still here!

ordered mine with an allocation in South Carolina for new via European Delivery

picked it up 09/01/2011 just rolled over 17K miles

A friend asked me earlier today if I had to buy a new car and Porsche and all BMWs were unavailable (new or used). I told him that doesnt leave much... I'd probably be in unhappy and bored in SUV or a MINI.

Possible actual vehicles that might get me to sell.... Porsche Cayman ( i have refused to drive one.. which helps) a used GT3 (not going to live with a Porsche out of warranty so probably not gonna happen) or BMW M2 via Euro delivery.

Hans_werk · 07-03-2013, 04:41 PM

Took delivery March 2012. Keeper.

kskpsu · 07-03-2013, 06:04 PM

She is a keeper, tough to think of selling. In fact, recent addition of a baby girl to our family, and one of my two "impractical" cars has to go...so my '13 TT-RS is for sale.

ED in late August of 2011, and 1100 of its current 3600 miles were done in 8 other countries :-)

luci7 · 07-03-2013, 06:49 PM

Found through internet search October 2011 in Alexandria, Louisiana. 5,045 miles to date. It will get sold at some point, not just yet though.

ThumpersM3 · 07-03-2013, 08:38 PM

Deposit in 01/2011
delivered 11/2011
current miles : 1,320

1mGator · 07-03-2013, 09:47 PM

Can't imagine not keeping this ride! August 2011 Euro Delivery - epic road trip, just hit 13,000 miles and having a blast! Why would you even think about selling a car as fun as this and a limited production one year only BMW. How many times in their history has this happened!

C.junior · 07-03-2013, 10:31 PM

How much did you guys buy these 1ms for? 60 gs ? 70gs

sergeremi · 07-03-2013, 10:41 PM

Me? 1k less than MSRP.

Smiley1175 · 07-03-2013, 11:37 PM

Dealer called me on a Monday to say they had the BMW Aus press car if I would like a test drive.
I had no intent of buying a car.
Test drove it Monday morning, they also had a cancelled order sitting in the warehouse, picked up the new car on Thursday.
This was August 2012, no plans to sell, but if I do it'd be for a Porsche.
