With my research and access to someone that has actually gone through the process. I believe a stripped 1m is really worth 47-49 depending on miles and a fully loaded 1M may be worth 52-54 based on miles. That is still awesome for owners who have a 1.5 year old car to be able to get MSRP for a used car. But thinking the used market is going to support a 60+ price isnt based in reality. Especially when you are basing the value on what people are asking (but not getting) |

Have you driven a 1M with a tune? If you haven't I wouldn't make judgement calls. It's not just about the power, but how it's delivered. The 1M isn't suited for drag racing. I wonder how many purist/Navless 1Ms are regularly tracked with DSC off? The beauty of the 1M and M3 is that they can be utilized as a dual purpose vehicle (DD and Track). You can't really do that with a 5 or 7 series as they are too heavy. I've already tried.

Wow, this is a great thread. I've been following the prices of the 1M for 9 months now and I've seen prices from the mid to low 40's all the way up to the mid to high 60's. The ones in the 60's are not really moving and some of them on autotrader as we all know are ex-PDC cars. Also those cars really didn't go out to the public for auction, so it can be said the dealers were able to keep the price artificially high.
Book values can be decieving (check out the value of an E30 M3 and then tell me if you can buy one for that price...... Not a chance!!!) As each day goes by we're getting closer to the M2 and I'm sure some people from here will be dumping their cars and we'll see more of the 1M's come up and prices drop. Friend of mine that works at BMWNA and a couple of dealers have hinted that the M2 will sell in the $55k region, thus I'm in no hurry to pay a premium for a used car just because the original owner paid a premium at the dealer and now he wants to pass that premium onto me. Some of these owners are so passionate about their cars that they're pricing is more emotional than rational. Look at the ones on eBay right now, both in the $60's and no bites, no bids. Nav or no nav? Doesn't look like it really makes any difference. |

I purchased all but the idrive package, but received idrive for free due to a Sept production special. I don't have the alarm, comfort access or parking sensors, though.

I shut off the DSC and engage the M button at all autocrosses. I did shut off the DSC while drifting in the parking lot at work that had not been plowed yet. It is fun to switch off all the controls and really have a good time with the car.

Yes. The USB input allows one to use a smartphone for nav with audio over the speakers. The nav from an app like google maps will cut in over iTunes music or pandora and of course phone calls do as well. The only difference is the phone must be connected with the cord, as streaming of audio via Bluetooth is only able to be done with the idrive upgrade. . |

If the 1M would not have a proper lsd to begin with and the DSC couldn't be turned off completely, I wouldn't have bought the car.100%. My mate Advevo made me see what the little b4st*rd is capable of. Best thing is to keep the wintersetup wheels/tyres to get the most fun out of it but almost no traction when temperatures are rising....so Advevo put on my PS2 summer setup last wednesday...but breaking news : Snow is heading for NL this weekend again. (Talking about march) May need to switch back to the square 225 18 wintersetup... Cheers Robin |

Bought mine with the intention to keep it so I only have iphone USB Bluetooth and HK. Didn't want to add anything else that will very likely break, wanted to keep it simple.

I think I can see the inspiration of the lines of former 6 series right there

I originally was looking for a stripped down 1M without Navi.
I found a 1M fully-loaded. Bought it. Now I can't live without Navi. Darn you, tech gods! .
