USED/CPO 1M

[friscogypsee]

You guys think well see any used 1M's? I would love buying a new car again, nothing like building the car w the options you want and knowing that it hasn't been treated poorly. And let's not forget about the new car smell, mmmm. But if I could find a CPO 1M with low miles, the savings would be nice.

But with only around ~500 cars coming to the US, will everyone be hanging onto their 1M's? And if we see some used ones, when will they start showing up? 3 months? 6 months? 1 year?

Also i'm guessing that since this is such a special car with a limited production run, maybe even used 1M's if they are available will still have an inflated price because they know many people will be looking for them. But IIRC, I think the Z4 M Coupe production number was around 2700 and you can find those used.

Anyways, not sure I want to wait that long for a used 1M, it's hard enough waiting until December for the unveiling. I just sold my 135i so I drive around my huge truck right now and I can't wait to get back into a small, fast bmw. This one will happen to (hopefully) have M suspension, a real LSD, 19" competition wheels, wider wheel base, quads, tons of torque, no RFT's, no sunroof not to mention an LCI facelift. Ladies and gentlemen I think we have a winner

You'll see a bunch of used ones as soon as the next generation 1er is announced....

Yeah I guess that sounds like a pretty darn likely scenario. F*@^! Guess i'll have to buy one new, im easily persuaded. What the hell is gonna happen when the 1er becomes a four banger as rumored. CRAZY!! A F' ing four banger in 2014. HA!

Just to add to this thought, there is rumor that there will be a RWD 2er replacing our current RWD 1er's.

Yar, if the 1er is a 4banger FWD then I guess we all buy 2ers.
Though I can name a good handful of great 4 cylinder cars with BOOST.

So on the subject of CPO...

How many of you that really do intend on getting a 1SMC intend to keep it?

If I get it one, I really doubt I would ever sell it. I would likely buy a different DD, and just keep the 1SMC for special drives/track day use a few times a year.

I'm curious if I'm in the minority or the majority?

And while I'm asking - how many of you will mod your 1SMC?

[Kurt_OH]

I doubt I'd mod it. I really like the idea of a factory engineered sports coupe.

As for keeping it, no way to know right now. I'd probably consider the NEXT gen M vehicles before deciding.

But, who knows? I'm getting old; may go for 5 series GT next! :-)

Euhhhh we see used lambos, used Mustang KR, used anything. Why not used 1M?

Like the BMW 2002? All the more reason to make a 2er.

Talking about CPO on something that hasn't been released yet.

Yeah, just gotta LOL @ this thread. OP, you won't get a discount on a used 1M. You won't find one. The people that are buying this car will keep it for life. The next gen 1er isn't going to flood the market with 1Ms. If anything, it will make their value go up. There might be a handful of people who get out of the 1M (assuming it's their daily driver) for the F32 M3. Other than that, these cars will be hard to come by and will not be sold at a discount. Wishful thinking is only going to disappoint.

Yeah but I just sold my low miles 08' 135i for 30k and I paid more than 50k w all the options and some nice dealer ad ons etc.

Just seeing the killer deal that my buyer got shows me how patience can really pay off if you can do it. SURE it's a long time down the road but I think long term planning is a GOOD thing.

Anyways buddy, you're comment "LOL at this thread. OP, you won't get a discount on a used 1M" I find that comment pretty arrogant and close minded personally. Just because the car hasn't been released yet you put it up on a pedestal, of course well see discounts man it's just matter of time.

I guess my question was how long until you think well see used 1M's. Basically it's just a guess. Sometimes theres that one person that 3 months after taking delivery they say "F**K this thing is fast, i'm gonna get into trouble. I think i'll sell it". Or someone will say "I'm not used to the sportier suspension, it's a little rough for my taste." And BAM, you get 5 or 10K off sticker price. QUITE LOGICAL THINKING IMO

The 1M will probably ring in about some odd $10K more than the 135i, BIG DEAL. Lot's of people on this board put that 10K in mods on their 135.

The fact that i'm trying to save money jumping from a 135i to a 1M is due to the tragedy that BMW is releasing this car so late in the game and it doesn't make economical sense to 135i owners, unless money is not an issue. eating the first two years of depreciation, then DOING IT AGAIN for a car that the 135 should have been the FIRST time just kinda sucks. I might just drive around my bigass 2010 dodge ram 1500 until 2014, it's a nice truck, just freaking HUGE that's all.

[friscogypsee]

Oh yeah, I really need to hear FORMULA M's take on this, we all know about your agenda man, which is talk sh*t at every opportunity you have haha. Fact of the matter is that buying new and buying used each have their pro's and con's and a forum is a very appropriate place to discuss them.

so "dude", if you don't like my thread go troll somewhere else, i'm sure there's tons of people that want to hear your valuable opinion

[friscogypsee]

I'm sure there's a lot of people who may be thinking it would be nice to find a CPO'd low miles 1M, but don't want to talk about it cause they'll sound "cheap". Well folks we are in a economic recession and I have NO SHAME trying to save a few bucks here and there.

Uh, and who said anything about me driving a beater, you are putting words in my mouth which is pretty immature. BTW my 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie is a $45k truck and I get nothing but compliments on the beast with a Hemi.

And you say i'm "bargain shopping"? So by your terms everyone looking for a CPO'd BMW is cheap and bargain shopping. That's not too nice to say as i'm sure there are many good people who are CPO'd BMW owners who are very happy with their purchasing choices because it made better sense to them and fit their situation properly.

drama..

In case you haven't noticed, this entire 1M forum has been a massive fantasy for months as we've only had nuggets with which to work. So what?

If you don't have a constructive answer to the man's question, STFU. Thank you.

How's it any difference from debating ad nauseum the production details of a car when it was still barely even a prototype and we didn't even know for sure that it was going to be an ///M, as was the case a few months ago?

That being said, I think it's a completely legitimate question considering the supposed limited nature of the car. I'm sure this forum represents a sizable portion of the buyers for the car, so throwing out a feeler for what people's plans are for the car is a good question.

Again, if you don't have anything constructive to add here, just move along.

You must not know what Trite means.

Trite:
: hackneyed or boring from much use : not fresh or original

So the post is the 1st of its kind for the 1M so most certainly original and fresh.And being the 1st of its kind you simply can't call it boring from too much use.

Just wanted to correct you on the use here before you say that in the real world so someone who matters.

And there is something wrong with passing the time with fun conversation?

Being on the limited volume side, I see it as a perfectly normal question to ask.
"If I wanted one should I just bite the bullet and buy it new, because getting one that is in good shape post production may be difficult and/or not worth it because they will hold their value well?"
