Lot of miles why didn't you just have the car shipped? Save the time, flights, gas and food?

[G3333]

However, congrats. I love it

My guess? He bought the car to, you know, drive it and stuff. It's nice to see an owner that doesn't labor under the delusion that the 1 M Coupe is a collectible car. Granted, that delusion, for most, will persist right up until the M2 comes out.

Because you can't check it out in person before purchase if you do that?



From the pic here and a few I've seen of him with his Ariel Atom, he looks like he can't be over 18 years old. Lucky guy indeed. Congrats.

Agreed. Except for the fact that he taped it off like it's going to spend it's life in a showroom. Maybe until it gets a clear bra?

Congrats OP. a small few will understand and appreciate the long journey. Although I have never done what you did with regards to purchasing your 1M I took my E90 M3 for a road trip from MA to SC just for a wedding last year. It's not a DD and that's a one way 800+ mile drive by myself driving. Could I of bought a plane ticket and saved 2000 miles on my car, almost 0 sleep and the hardships I95 can do to a car. Absolutely. But driving is a pleasure and when you do it a car like a 1M or an M3 it makes you appreciate the true abilities these cars have. Yes it's pretty good on the track. But to drive such a long distance and never get a back ache or feel like it unreliable or the car is too important to you to drive. It's a car. Whether a Ferrari, Zonda, or a BMW. They are meant to be driven. Now we just need to work on the speed limits in US for us car freaks!'

Congrats OP. enjoy.

Awesome!! I live in the DC area and checked that same M out with a friend! Didn't end up buying it, he ended up in a AMG from right down the road lol.

[ken1137]

congrats on the 1M. Enjoy !

whats the tape for?

[Papethova]

Congrats, next time trak tape. The tape peeling like that and flapping in the wind especially with gravel/sand or debris stuck to it will damage the finish.

[dreamspeed]

Very cool!

[NathanIngrao]

I live south of you and I just did a mini version of what you did. I just picked up my 135i from Burbank CA and drove back to Florence AZ. I need a BMW friend around here.

Congrats! You might have to bring the car at one of the next car and coffee at the dealerships in North Scottsdale!
Gorgeous car!
