Here it is, the muscles in brussels. The Alpine White 1M has been photgraphed here by the boys over on Autoblog.nl. In all honesty, the Alpine White is really growing on me. Generally, I think photos never portray Alpine White quite the way it looks in person, but in this case, the photos came out nice and I have to say, I'm becoming a fan.

Still, a video would offer a better perspective, hopefully someone can get out there and get some video as well? If you follow the source link, they have the full high resolution version of these pictures!

hmmm beautiful color; even though I don't like white.

docjay · 01-14-2011, 08:16 AM

I Looove It!!!!!!!!!!

:confused0 068:

Imola.ZHP · 01-14-2011, 08:27 AM

Over-priced, but looks great!

Nightcreature · 01-14-2011, 08:28 AM

Just amazing. I'm so eager to have mine!

MDORPHN · 01-14-2011, 08:29 AM

focusedsketch · 01-14-2011, 08:33 AM

I can't quite tell, but these look like high-gloss black kidneys...

mojo_78613 · 01-14-2011, 08:36 AM

The kidney grilles look like the performance ones and a bit different than the ones show on the VO!!! Personally I like these more... Cheers...

02fireman · 01-14-2011, 08:39 AM

I love AW and ordered it that way, but my wife is REALLLLLLY trying to get me to go VO........Both are so hot. Like choosing between two hot twins only one lives in the Caribbean all tanned drinking rum (Pyrat)and the other lives in Sweden with smooth, virgin, milky white skin, making me a Ketel one martini diiirty.

dmboone25 · 01-14-2011, 08:45 AM

AW is beautiful on the 1er...and even better on the 1M...

Diver · 01-14-2011, 08:48 AM

Alpine white is so BMW...

trfortin69 · 01-14-2011, 08:51 AM

I need a sun roof, c'mon BMW offer it up!!

muskamatt · 01-14-2011, 08:56 AM

^not the point of the car

MrRoboto · 01-14-2011, 09:14 AM

AW does not suite the 1m at all. Way to bland for a car with such loud styling.

ozzie135i · 01-14-2011, 09:18 AM

A stunning car. If its fast in manual, I can't wait to see what it can do with DCT.

ES BMW · 01-14-2011, 09:24 AM

You know...I was pretty set on white. My 135 is white and these pics are beautiful. Plus, white is easy to maintain, doesn't attract the wrong kind of attention and it's a classic BMW color - the first 2002ti I saw was white with the motorsport stripes on the front fender. Loved it!

However, that VO keeps tapping me on my shoulder!

After watching the video a few times last night, the orange really shows off the curves and looks much better than in the pictures. It's growing on me.

Could I drive an orange car? Would I get tired of the color? That is the question.

as7920 · 01-14-2011, 09:25 AM

Awesome. Orange or White, I just can't decide.

Head says white, heart says Orange.

Argh.

James T. Kirk · 01-14-2011, 09:44 AM

If it were my order, I'd get the Valencia Orange.

I'm on my second white Bimmer, but the VO on the 1M
is going to be the TRADEMARK COLOR for this first generation.

It's equivalent to the CF room on the E92 M3.
You never option the moonroof when you can have the CF!

I encourage all you guys buying a 1M to go ORANGE.
You'll be turning heads.

BMW1986 · 01-14-2011, 09:52 AM

1 on the DCT option!! I like a manual but not as my daily driver.

Splinterz88 · 01-14-2011, 09:54 AM

These photos of the 1M in white makes it seem more appealing than those of the showroom floor one.

mtechnik3 · 01-14-2011, 09:55 AM

Looks great in Alpine White!

I kindly disagree man. If you adjust for inflation, this is the most affordable M car ever built. When this project started the goal was to keep the price under $50,000.

WULFFZA · 01-14-2011, 10:10 AM

I am also on the fence now about AW.
With VO being the trademark launch color and all I feel like I am making a mistake with AW...
