What a waste unless it was a preproduction model already destined for the crusher.

[...] However, Porsche did offer crucial support by donating the prototype for the casts. After the Carrera S had served its purpose, the artist turned it into an installation of its own. He had it crushed to about one-fifth of its original volume and displayed the cube of metal along with a demijohn containing all the car’s fluids. Thus, although all the “ingredients” of the sports car are still there - even the key is still in the ignition - the “recipe” has been altered irreversibly."

That's why I wrote: "these protect your car 24/7 against lazy wheel thieves (professional thieves who definitely want to steal your wheels, will get these anyways)."

Just saying One recommendation I saw was to park very close and near a wall (thieves like to get all four wheels and this would stop them cold).

At this point I can neither confirm or deny.... But technically the E82 Coupe body remains in production until the summer at least so it would not be difficult to do.
If a one-off for a special occasion or perk? Somebody at BMW has a Techno Violet 1M. And that really suits the car.

One guy recently posted that he is considering buying the very very last 1M...in Saudi Arabia. We all backed his enthusiasm here and told him to buy it without delay. So maybe that's the real last 1M?
Doesn't change the simplest fact that if that's a 1M it was built before July 2012, period. However, I do agree that Pope Ratzinger deserves a one-off for his retirement, hell they could even call it a 2014 model if he desires so
