The matte VO was done by a local paint shop in Germany (took them 2 months to complete), not a factory job, as the owner told me. The blue one is clearly a wrap on an AW car, I checked in person. So sorry, these two truly good looking and special cars were NOT painted as they are by BMW.

Actually, all VO 1M's feature a semi-frozen lookalike VO part: just check the inside/underside/verso of the bonnet and the trunk lid and you know what I mean.
Don't say "partially painted". Say "semifreddo", as Italians do.

So I guess the verdict is there was only 1 car painted in something other than VO, AW, BSM in the factory?

The frozen VO is sick. Already asked my buddy ,who has a wrap shop in Belgium, if he has this color available. I was thinking to put a clear vinyl on the car to protect its paint but this is a lot cooler.
Definitely want it

Sorry I was away yesterday at Hockenheim Ring for the Tuner Grandprix... UPDATE: Yes, the pics I posted (above) now seem to have had their paint work colors changed after they left the BMW factory. But to answer your Question... I think it was Scott26 who first said BMW will not make any 1M Individual colors.... then the bronze 1M broke cover and he said well... it ended up costing the owner five times the price of Individual paint(a 5K euro option) plus that SG 1M car had to be shipping from Leipzig to Garching and then back to Leipzig for shipping. And it took a long time to build, strip, paint, rebuild. But it was also in that statement that Scott26 said there was only a "few" 1M's done by M in Garching for Individual car color program. I know last year when I went to the //M Studio in Garching they had a picture of the "Prince of Bayern" (Bavaria does have a real Prince(!), and he is a big BMW fan...) anyways they said he was interested in a "different color" but when he found out the price (20 to 25K euros)... he just ordered a AW car. And btw... his car was a "stripper" - bc he thought the 1M is a real back to basics sort of performance car. I could not agree more. Last edited by Dackelone; 05-26-2012 at 09:28 AM..

These cars could be owned by some special people in the BMW ranks?

One of the leading sponsors of the F1 Lotus Team has an exquisite car collection of over 85 sports cars. He's a 40 years old sports cars aficionado - true connoisseur with a dedicated warehouse for keeping all of his exotics in good shape. His favorite car of the moment is ...his VO 1M.

As posted earlier, it would have been quite a statement of BMW if the 1M had been offered in the three ///M colors only.
Seems that BMW is heading in the right direction: they just announced that the 2013 BMW M3 Coupe Frozen Limited Edition will be on offer in red, white and blue. Only 150 cars though (USA). Production starts next January. http://www.automobilesreview.com/aut...choices/55747/ http://blog.caranddriver.com/bmw-int...-matte-colors/ http://www.studentnewsie.com/2013-bm...for-u-s-10574/
