1M to go through public auction (UK)
 Featured on BIMMERPOST.com It's believed to be the 1st 1M to ever appear at a public auction in the UK... Lot: SYT057, BMW 1 SERIES M 3.0 2 Doors, Coupe, Petrol, Manual Transmission, Orange, Margin Registration: GJ61HJX Registration date: 02/09/2011 Mileage: 5722 Warranted Colour: Orange Log book: Present Equipment: V5 - 3 OWNERS , Parking Sensor(s) , Air Conditioning , Satellite Navigation , Leather Trim , Alloy Wheels , Srvc Bk - 1 srvc 1 main dlr , Last Srvc - 09/11 0k , S Inf - running in service 864mls The market for 1M's in the UK has been rock solid, but with M135i sales in full swing it'll be interesting to see where this ends up and for how much it sells...

Don't know the status of the 1M put up for sale, but IMHO "trouble selling", "5 price reductions" and "the buyer will in essence be the 4th owner" aren't reassuring tell-tale signs for a 1M with 5722 miles. Might have encountered hard days during its youth.

I believe this car has had a front end collision!

Leather on the driver's seat (bolster especially) appears to have been taken off then put on again. Either that, or some really weird wear, which is unlikely given the low mileage of the car. Mine has more miles and the leather is nicely stretched as Joan Rivers' face! LOL

"Had originally been up at £42850, was £41850 by August, was £40850 in mid-September, was £39850 late September, was £38950 start October, finally briefly £37950 mid Oct, before it was pulled a few weeks back." As with pretty women with issues: steer clear of getting romantically involved (well, at least in my book).

If you did then perhaps it might have been better if you'd shared the information, rather than just inferring you knew something.
