At the risk of a stupid question, what it the 1M commonly called in Japan? I thought it would be 1シリーズMクーペ. But I can't find any on Car Sensor.
So sticking to your specific query: Your search should work in theory, but I've never found any one magic term. You get false positives and false negatives. With Carsensor the most reliable way I've found is to browse to the 1 series level, then select the MT (manual transmission) criteria and eyeball the limited number of returns. I've found 2 or 3 1M listings this way.

If you are ever seriously looking to buy a 1M in Japan let me know and I can send you some interesting discoveries I've made while doing Japanese language searches. You'll need to read, write, and speak 日本語 to explore this avenue, though.
