Great shots in Aoyama. Always a great place for a sanpo.
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. |

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.

Yes, I normally browse Carsensor by maker, model, etc. - the keyword search is a bit random. I started to wonder if Japan, as it does from time to time, had come up with some other name other than 1 Series M Coupe, since I was surprised to find none. Admittedly, they are pretty uncommon. Good idea to use MT to narrow the results. Thanks very much for your offer to share your discoveries - always helps. I'll let you know if I'm every ready to commit. However, one other question, do you know if the 1M's in Japan were all LHD... or mixed LHD and RHD, like you see with some other makes and models? |

European car collectors in Japan long preferred the LHD cars because in the old days RHD cars were imperfect conversions, rather than engineered from the start to be able to handle a steering wheel on either side. Even though no longer true, amongst enthusiasts there still seems to be a preference for LHD, so I would not be at all surprised if there were significantly more LHD here. |

Yes, as far as I know, LHD on the Euros was always the preference. Along with the tan on the left arm Thanks for the info. Will let you know if I manage to get serious about a 1M in JP. |
