Here's yet another sighting of the 1M coupe, this time at the Schipol Airport (KLM Cargo area). Schipol airport appears to be a great place for BMW prototype/pre-production sightings, as an M5 test mule was just recently spotted there. This particular model has the orange headlight reflectors, which indicates that it's headed for the U.S.

Although we have now seen tons of photos of the 1M coupe in Valencia Orange, additional pics of this color in different lightings and conditions are nevertheless helpful as Valencia Orange has been a difficult color to photograph and describe. Its extremely metallic look and hue take on different looks, in photographs and in-person.

I think it needs a propper paint job! (at least the trunk) and it looks very copperish

PcM3 · 01-30-2011, 01:08 PM

So Hot

I so wish

Joer · 01-30-2011, 01:16 PM

Nice one thanks for sharing.

pyrat · 01-30-2011, 01:18 PM

agree the color is very hard to read from photos - that's why I only believe the cover pic of top gear, which says it is amazing

Krystian_E46 · 01-30-2011, 01:24 PM

oh yes

i think this is the one thats coming to my dealership

YVES1M · 01-30-2011, 01:31 PM

The wheel gap in front bothers me a little!

BenTrovato · 01-30-2011, 01:32 PM

Airport shots are always cool! Looks great

MPFit · 01-30-2011, 01:52 PM

Orange reflectors in headlights- It's coming to America!
haha
The more I see the new LCI Headlights the more I like them.

Looks like a KPH speedo. Maybe headed to Toronto

MrRoboto · 01-30-2011, 02:00 PM

What the hell is going on with the paint?

1Mer · 01-30-2011, 03:36 PM

No Headlight washers?

probably quebec, since it seems their dealers are accepting peoples' orders ahead of other canadian dealers.

GeniuneSorny · 01-30-2011, 03:52 PM

Ha! They're in such a hurry, they're flying them over

Production hasn't started yet. All the ones out there are for publicity/press/auto shows

skyphab · 01-30-2011, 04:32 PM

Strange, looks like the one from Detroit. Also the painting looks as bad, as the people described it. Is this one heading towards the US or was shipped from the US?

freshwhite335 · 01-30-2011, 04:57 PM

Nice to see one with the proper auto-climate control.

richardg · 01-30-2011, 05:12 PM

probably a production press car coming in if I had to guess

rossii · 01-30-2011, 05:28 PM

Everytime I see the VO it reminds me of Byzanze fromt the 90's.

skyphab · 01-30-2011, 05:36 PM

You see! Timeless!
