I talked to the guys at the m studio while taking Ed about 3 weeks ago.
The very same people who said that global production would run up to 6000 1///M cars globally!

1M Production

Knew the VIN plus 100 just did notams sense! I pick mine up Dec 5th and many earlier deliveries had higher last four #'s. Hold on to 'em guys... This will be a good investment and a super cool car!

On one hand I hope it's true, to be such a limited production car...on the other I wish no one that really wants a 1M to be denied.

I guess I'm a bit more selfish... admittedly, since I have one, I want the total produced to be a small number and I (sitting on this side of the fence) like to see the high market value for the cars.

I'm right with you on that one. This baby hasn't put backs on mattresses for me yet, but just knowing the rarity is all the satisfaction I need.

Technically if it's North America numbers wouldn't they also include Mexico? I heard from a dealer in Mexico City there were 75 cars destined to Mexico...

Hmm...I am not sure. I heard in Mexico you can actually get 2012 1M, in Canada I thought there was only 2011 model, just like the US.

faulty logic....most of the available "new car" allocations are still here bc someone either dropped, didn't qualify, or couldn't put up with the wait...veryy few if any, are left bc no one picked em up...

680 is just speculation at this point. It's not over till it's over. However 680 may be close in the end, Official End. Need to see in writing from BMW.

In my state the car is a 1 in a Million car. I mean this literally. There are around 2 million people living here and only 2 1M's being delivered to my State.

The more I drive my 1M the more I am loving it!!!!

This is the best Overall drivers car BMW I have owned in the 35+ years I have owned BMW's

I think the US production is over or very close to being over; so this number could be accurate. At least I hope it is.

Mine is on the production line right now (began 10/17/11)- is this one being counted toward the 680?

Wow! Our chapter runs 9 autocrosses a year and also we run a night time autocross as well!!

Not sure how involved you are with your local chapter but if you can find a suitable lot, it really is an easy program to initiate. We even have a spare timer I would be happy to donate.

I used to autocross back in the 80"s and early 90"s before I found the track. Kind of hard to do a lot when you have to drive 120 to 250 miles fjust to get to an event.
Our chapter does not autocross (mostly social except for 1 track event and the last time we tried to do an autocross school, 3 people showed) so I usually end up going to South Dakota and spend the weekend with Wiles. I just haven't had the time to do that for several years with working 65+ hour weeks.

If I am going to drive 4 to 8 hours to get somewhere it better be a three day track weekend.

that makes sense! Fortunately... there are two tracks in the DFW area... and TWS in Bryan/College Station, and now the F1 track coming in... For me it's ... If I'm going to drive 10-12 hours... it better be a three day weekend... Which is exactly how a lot of people in our chapter began making long trips...We went to Barber 2003-2007... last few years it's been Mid Ohio... i've been there 2 of the last three years... and also Road Atlanta. And of course Ofest.

Nice...that works out to 1 car for every 460,000 Americans or people in the US....I'd say there was some exclusivity there.
