"year of the one" questions
I have just learned that the "Year of the One" is special to American 1er's and I was am wondering two things:
One: is there anywhere I can buy a replacement trim piece for around the "Start/Stop" button? Two: is there anyway to replace the original certificate that signifies the "Year of the One" paperwork*? *I just think this would be a cool thing to have since I did not receive one since i bought my car preowned. Thank you for your help!!

Year 1 of the 1 signifies first calendar year of production for American spec cars. It runs jan 08 - jan 09 if memory serves. So your car is a year 1.
That being said I dont think you can replace any of the things. |

Some folks give away the commemorative book that came with the first year. I picked one up from a local guy that sold his 135i. For free it was worth it, but I wouldn't have paid for it.
Someone posted a video of a flip through: |

Mine was built Jan '09 and did not have the year-one stop/start ring when delivered.
In June of '09 BMW-NA contacted me and told me I was suppose to have the ring on my car because it was built in year-one production. They promptly sent it to me and paid for installation at the local dealership. I also received the Year one book and certificate. |
