I've ordered the Alpine White with the following options:
- Folding mirrors - Heated front seats - Navigation-system Professional - BMW Assist - Bluetooth phone prep + telematics - Loudspeaker system - harman/kardon surround - USB audio interface - Telephone USB audio interface Hopefully these are the right bits to allow me to use my iPhone properly in the car for music (album art on the nav screen) and handsfree bluetooth. I'll also get the dealer fit iPhone cradle when the car is in. The only other bits will be the black grill surrounds at the front, but I believe these are again a dealer fit item? I should have confirmation of delivery by early July and my dealer seemed to think if everything was confirmed, I'd receive a September build date. Basically my dealer has put the request into BMW and then phoned them up. He was told that there was a small part change that may affect the 1M production with slight delays, but BMW were yet to confirm whether it had an impact on the car or not. However, I guess the good sign is that they didn't tell him to "go away", so there must be at least some allocation of cars left. Fingers crossed I'll be one of the lucky 450!! |

The Leipzig plant ran out of right hand drive dashboards, so from now on it's left hand drive only.

Well, obviously I'm biased, but yes :-) I wasn't sure about the tinted side glass before I saw the car, but I think it totally works with VO. Had lots of positive comments already, and it's only been sat on the drive! My detailer is just finishing his days work and I'll be taking it to the office tomorrow, so we'll see what people think :-) (and getting the first 11% of the first running in distance done ;-) ).

Nope, not heard anything back and don't expect to until early July when I should know whether I've definitely got a 1M or not. I'll update when I hear anything
It is a little frustrating not knowing because I'm in a bit of a dilemma about selling my current car at the moment. I don't want to sell it if I haven't got the 1M, but at the same time, I don't want to sit around with it not being advertised if I am going to get the 1M. I guess the best I can do is put it up, see what interest I get and hope that I'll get the confirmation from BMW before selling. We'll see |

A dealer has informed me that he doesn't know of any changes to 1M but at the same plant there were issues with X1? My car has arrived at the dealers! Early, yay! |

I know for sure I have made the right colour choice, for me. All 3 colours look great on the 1M, thats why it is so hard. But for my circumstances, BSM is just right! Last edited by as7920; 06-14-2011 at 06:38 AM.. |
