Buying the last 1M at the dealer

Hello gents ... I am considering to buy the last 1M available in Saudi ...
It is AW fully loaded with almost everything ..

I am a BMW owner since long time and my last car was E93 330i that I sold few weeks ago ..

I had some fast readings on this forum but I still need to know if there is any known issues for this car? anything to worry about?

All advises would be appreciated.

Only minor stuff, nothing like a dealbreaker really; check this thread which compiles all known issues about 1M, you can also find it in the Sticky section:

http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=760815

My advice; don't miss the chance of buying a new 1M, it is one-of-a-kind.

My friend...

BUY IT!

You will love it. I am one of many that had my doubts. I was considering a Cayman S.

Then I saw the car when it arrived and all of my doubts were gone. And when I first drove it? Holy moley it was amazing.

Everything that the reviewers have said about the car is true.

It is the most fun that I have had in a car in years and it is sure to be a collector's item. I often will read something positive on this forum and immediately feel the need to take the car out for a drive. It's just that emotional of a car. It's just that fun.

But let Ferris Bueller sum it up: "It is so choice. If you have the means I highly recommend picking one up."

Oh and you get a limited edition polo shirt to go with it.

Good luck! That is a great opportunity to have.

A well-known issue is the difficulty to get rid of the permagrin.

Seize the opportunity to get your hands on one of the 6309 manufactured 1M cars. It's an 'instant classic' - full of win. And all the hype in the press by car journalists reviewing this car: for once you may believe it.

As we speak, demand still outstrips supply.

Thank you guys for the feedback. I hope they allow me for a test drive but they refused as it is the last car they have. Price is around 68k $ and I know it is a great chance.

Seems I have made my decision

Buy it!!!!!!!!!!! The ONLY reason most of us do not have one is the LARGE monthly mortgage(CAR) payment that seems to creep up so so fast every 30 day's...The only reason i do not own one....If you can afford the car ...go for it. I love the 1M,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

أهلاً وسهلاً

Welcome to the 1M forum!

My advice - definitely get the 1M! Unless you plan on spending double the money, you will not find anything else like it.

There are not that many issues with this car. The main "problems" people seem to have are an exhaust drone from between 2,300-2,700 RPM, some minor rattles here and there, and some tire rubbing on the inside front fenders at full lock. Some folks have also experienced their charge pipes coming off under hard acceleration. Other than those issues, major problems are uncommon. Most components on the car are the latest generation of tried and tested parts from the 135i and the M3.

There are a few other 1M owners on this form who live in the Gulf, so maybe they can tell you if they have had any issues that are specific to your region.
