I would certainly hope it is the Super Sports, but I recon it is unlikely as they will continue to use the PS2s as they have rolled out the model already with them, and the production run will be short (and the same tire is on the M3, so it will be a logistical nightmare for dealers to keep inventory of both IMO).

The Super Sports are not available in the US yet. I have a set pre-ordered through Tire Rack (yes, you can already pre-order them and pricing is set, but estimated shipment is after 4/15 in very limited quantities and sizes). Does it sound familiar: not limited production, but wil be hard to get! LOL

The car at Geneva hat Pilot Sports on it.
Where can I see if it's PS1 oder PS2? There's no "2" on the tire.

Edit: Ah, "Pilot Sport 3" is another series for not so sporty cars.
So, there are Pilot Sport on it.

To clarify, there are actually multiple (generations and variants) of the Pilot Sports.

1. The original ones, ofter refered to as PS1s (although this is a misnomer as the tire sidewall simply states Pilot Sport) have been long discontinued (though you still can buy them as a replacement as manufacturers are required to keep extremely small production over a few years after a model is made defunct). The Pilot Sport (misnomered as PS1) looks like this:

2. The Pilot Sport PS2s, or the second generation of Pilot Sports meant as a replacement of the above^^^, are the ones we have seen on every 1 ///M so far. They look like this:

3. There is currently a Pilot Sport 3. It is not widely used (and reviews have not been kind), but nevertheless they are OE equipment on cars like the Audi B8 S4. They look like this:

4. And finally, the one I am hoping for, as it blows all ^^^ 3 out of the water, is the Pilot Super Sport. It looks like this (up untill recently, it was only available for sizing on the Ferrari 599 GTO):

Question: can you open the rear side windows on the 1 coupe, and if they do then how?

Thanks for the reply

They're sealed closed. Was it the E36 M3 that had rear triangle windows that flipped out?

The Moto GP Safety car appeared to have Pilot Super Sports on the rear and regular Pilot Sports up front.

Didn't catch a glimpse of it, but it would make little sense to have a mixed bag ot tires front and rear...

I would agree with you. Maybe BMW has a handling secret by putting differrent tread pattern tires front and rear

If you look at pic 1 and 2 on this post, it shows the different tread patterns.

Any new concrete information on release dates? I keep hearing mixed messages from retailers, industry people, etc. No one seems to know for sure. The only thing they keep saying is that it will almost certainly be sold out (through pre-sales) by the time it's officially launched. Womp womp.

I'm sure I've missed it so i apologize in advance...but anyone have the invoice pricing for the 1M??....I have the MSRP sheet for US and ED.

Edmonds has it on their site.

[enigma135]

Thanks…didn't think of that.

[PA135i]

I thought I read somewhere that the 1M Coupe is only being offered this year.
Tell me this is not true. I was hoping to go for 1 next year.

[LeMansM5]

Not sure if this posted before.
Alpine white 1M at Seoul auto show.

Funny, In Holland they sell a M1 on BMW website:



I guess the webmaster made a typo.
Nevertheless, I think this sounds way better than 1M. And personally, I don't care if we would step on the toes of the supercar of 30 years ago .

Found a new video with the 1m in it. It's a slalom competiton. The car is second in line.

^^^ cool! They already modified the suspension on it judging by the ride height and limited body roll.
