Well my lease is up in august 2011 and I go to study abroad in august 2011. Its like I planned this all along.
Now all I need to do is ED the car and register it to a loft in London for a year without paying VAT. |

No doubt enthusiasm on display here made BMW rethink its original production plan.

Except the fact that one year production still probably equates to 2700 worldwide for the production year.

Based on what we know with full time production starting in March 2011 and going thru first quarter 2012, there should be approximately 12 months of production. I think there is usually a pause in August, and accounting for other holidays, it seems there will be actually 10 months of production. This corresponds to about 200 production days. If they produce only 20 cars a day, that is 4000 total over the production run. I believe M3 Adjustor indicated the Leipzig plant can crank out at least 700 total cars per day, so 20 1M coupes per day should be doable.

Based on what we now know, can anyone estimate when the first deliveries will arrive?
It has been indicated that May will be when they appear, is two months the normal time for production? Sorry for sounding noobish but this will be the first new car I have bought from the production line! |

this might be a stupid question but what is the reason they will produce this car only one year?

Because they're going to be rolling out the new 1-series in a year or so (hatch in Europe first). A 1-series M Coupe based on the new 1-series will roll out a couple of years later.

2006 MY had the E46 M3 and the E90 3 series being sold at the same time. I'll bet they they will do at least 2 production years for the 1SMC.

The BMW employees who have ordered a 1M Coupe will receive their cars at earliest Spring when the Summer tyres go back on.
With Germany and the rest of Europe following immediately afterwards and the UK and US Markets in early Summer. (Around May/June). European customers will see the car first at the Brussels Autoshow in late January , then Geneva (Dont worry there will be other "World Exclusive" Premieres at Geneva. Australia and Asia will head around Late Summer , although the 1M Coupe will make it's Asian premiere at the Shanghai Autoshow in late April. The issue with production numbers is at first you generate the interest , and then the interest builds. But like any other "performance Concept" when everything is finally released including specifcations and price you see interest drop by 30-40% and sometimes-50%. It happened with the M3 CSL. The official projections are that BMW will sell over 2000 units which will effectively bring the E82 production line to a close on schedule in early 2012, in order to begin production tooling for the next generation 1er Coupe. The next generation 1M Coupe will not come until early 2014. Last edited by SCOTT26; 11-25-2010 at 10:12 AM.. |

It's possible, maybe even likely, that we'll see a few 1M's lingering around unsold on dealer lots well into 2012. I'm recalling the Z4M's they had to discount massively to get rid of a couple years ago. Bad ass car for sure, but wildly impractical and expensive for most.

Based on what Scott said, if they stop all E82 production around March 2012, I have a hard time believing there will be any 2013 E82's, including 1M'S.

can't say that I'm not a bit disappointed about the reduced exclusivity that this news brings... but this definately means more leverage for me at the dealer (I currently have 2 separate deposits at different dealers in efforts to reduce the anticipated msrp+premium... may be it wouldnt be needed after all)... Interestingly, all these facts about the interior and the engine were outlined to me by one dealer... maybe they know more than they let-on to sometimes... He said that there would be a CF roof as option... still holding my breath for that one...
