So if you have one, don't total it.

They just stopped taking orders worldwide. One and officially done. And there will not be a direct successor.

I spoke to the M-Brand manager at our recent NUJ BMW Club meet at the BMW VDC here in Port Jersey and he told me production stopped in October.

BTW there was one sitting there at the VDC going through prep, but it did not look new... maybe an executive car?

Looks like the information reported by CAs that orders could be taken through May was erroneous.

Maybe not. Think it that way: if they are limited with a production deadline of July 2012 the latest and if they already had enough orders to fill all the production capacity, they simply can't take any more orders, can they? May word was just an assumption, could be earlier or later.

The German website still keeps the 1M in the configurator though, it is usually a very definitive sign of cars dropping from production. I am keeping an eye on that one.

I had quite a laugh reading all the autoblog comments about how bad the car is and how you could have bought a better car for the money.

No more orders being taken in Australia. All of approximately 125 cars have been sold.

[LeMansM5]

Would be good to know how many total in the world are out there.
Anyone know how many in Germany?

Till end of March 834 1M's have been registered in total in Germany.

Thanks. Germany got the max 1Ms. Good for them.

A German newspaper also just reported that production has stopped. But they also say, that over 6000 have been built and sold world wide - 1000 for Germany. Seems a bit steep to me considering the more or less accurate figures which where posted for the different countries...

Canada 250
USA 740
GB 450
France 100
Australia 170
China 200
South Africa 71
Indonesia 40
Turkey 3
Brazil 25
Chile 15
Poland 8
Germany 1000

Equals 3072... still a few left up to "over 6000".... Where are they? Russia ;-))?

That list is missing the entire Middle East and several South American nations.

I highly doubt that adds up to nearly 3,000 units.

I can guarantee you that the South America total can't be in excess of 100 to 150 cars. Even Brazil, which is half the population, area or economy of this continent got just 25. Chile, another relatively rich but less populated country has 10 to 15. There are 12 countries in South America and maybe other than Peru, Colombia or Argentina you won't find any more which could get in excess of 10 cars. You make the calculation.

In Africa, 90 % of the continent to say the least probably didn't even have a single quota, cause most of them don't have a BMW network. Whatever South Africa got must be a minimum of 50 % of whole Africa.

I also doubt that 6000 figure, unless Asian countries got more allocations during 2012. That would make it probable then.

Luxembourg! You forgot Luxembourg!

It is also missing half of Europe ;-). .. I can only post what I know. So let's try to make that list complete.
