I read an article from the owner of Sinpaour Dealership in the one he says BMW make everything they want. And that was precisely illustrated with this Sepang 1M and an other one with the Moto GP Safetycar's hood...

+1. I remember that thread too. I thought Leipzig had to send the 1M to //M GmbH in Garching (~410 kms away!) and they took the car apart and painted it. Then the car went back to Leipzig for final production. I thought someone said the special color costs four or five times the normal price of 5K euros for Individual paint.

The color immediately made me crave a Green Apple or something of that nature. Not my choice, but still an eye catching color combo.

Great color!
Does anyone know why BMW did such a short production run on the 1M for the USA?

The 1M car with the GP hood etc started out as a stock 1M and the owner has been moding it for track use

WoW the Sepang Bronze 1M is Very Nice!
I wonder that the 1M would look like in Cashmire Silver!? (After all that was the original press release color for the E82/E88 in 2008) (In 2012 you can still select your 1 series to be built in this awesome color)

Happy for the lucky owner of this beautiful 1M.
Unfortunately, BMW will never ever sell a car to me anymore. A few months ago, the irresponsible people in Munich refused to build a 1M for me in Orange GtS, just arguing, this wasn't possible, even if I'd pay for. On the contrary, they tried to convince me of ordering a disgusting VO...... On top, they knew that I already own a AW one....... So you stupid people in Munich, hope you'll be able to read this and think it over. Anyhow, this is the best way to fire your customers.......and the other German constructors, not MB nor Audi or other VW's will be happy to build the car I want to in the color I want, and take the money I pay them for.......in diesem Sinne, liebe BMW-ler, ich hoffe ihr habt es jetzt verstanden. |

And if you open the boot and the bonnet, you'll notice that the inside looks a bit like matte orange. Check it if you don't believe me.

Why BMW kept the Individual specification from the 1M is down to pure and simple German efficiency.
The Leipzig production line is run to schedule , stopping production costs time and money , every special 1M exclusively produced had this in the finished cost aswell as transportation and shipping which in total you are around a few thousand euro short from another 1M. Leipzig is running at full capacity thanks to the X1 and now they will be manufacturing US market X1's and Leipzig is undergoing expansion to accomodate the BMW i3 and BMW i8 production cars. Quote:

You're right in your argumentation.....it's just the way the chose and the manner they acted that was so disappointing. I keep loving my AW 1 M, which is quite unique in it's way too, since it's all but conventionnal anymore. I've had so many cars, and still have quite a few, that I am really looking out for smthg not conventionnal. That was my idea of having a 1 M in GTS-Orange |

That's exactly what they suggested me, reading ib between the lines of their argumentation......and that's precisely what I intended to avoid by all means. The idea was to have it ex-works in GTS-Orange, not post delivery. Might be a question of principle, but starting from the point where I pay for, I would like to get what I want
