1M is not LIMITED??

Hi guys, new in the forum. Just want to share what i have found on the m power website that BMW 1 M is not limited ???

"How long is to the BMW 1 Series M Coupé to be built and is there a limit on numbers?
This is not a limited edition. "

full coverage of this Expert dialogue with Jürgen Schwenker. :

http://www.m-power.com/_open/b/edito...1&y=3&&lang=en

Im sorry if this is a repost.

He basically said that the 1M will not have an explicit limit on numbers (like a Ferrari Enzo was limited to 499) but that it was to be built to capacity during the model year.

And thats what was limited. It was only made for the 2011 model year. Unfortunately theyre done making them after about 740 imported to the states.

Not to get off topic but there were 399 Enzo's produced, not 499.

SURVEY 177
AW 71 40%
VO 74 42%
BSM 32 18%

My guess is
EST. 740
AW 297
VO 309
BSM 134

if production is not limited why they only bring 740 1M to States while they can keep on producing it?

It was limited to a production of one year, not limited to an edition number - i.e. The M3 CTR being limited to 67 units or the Frozen Black Edition of 20.

That being said, to me it does not take away from the rareness or exclusivity of the car in my book. Everyone who owns one should feel honored. I really wish the timing had lined up better for me as I would have jumped on one in a second. I still keep looking at used prices for 1m's and havent seen anything sell for less than $5k above MSRP with a few thousand miles on them.
