If yes, I wonder if the prices of the 1Ms in Oz are being held up as a hedge to the forex drop.

Iceman, take it easy on the ice

I've learnt with these pr1cks, don't jump early unless you wanna pay top money for the privilege, in the meantime I will cruise like an old C listening to a flat 6 3.8 screaming in my partially deaf ears.

Enjoy

PLUS - the current line up is just plain boring. Only if I can still get one of those 3.8L Flat 6. Cheaper than my 1M.

Anyone realise that the BSM 1m with 500 km in Nsw has been taken of the market after God knows how long it was advertised for. Does anyone know was it sold and how much for ? Advertised for $129k

[martymil]

Most probably went to a prestige car auction or something like that

But how much would that sell for ?

[martymil]

Depends, a collector would pay top dollar if immaculate.

A car is worth what ever the person is willing to pay for it and how badly they want it.

I'd rather a 2016 Jaguar F-Type at $129k........

Debatable, it isn't a collectable. Especially with 300 delivered locally.

That's what the said about the 2 door xb falcon gs

Look at the prices now

I brought one back in late 80"s for 3k

If you were looking for a collectable BMW, it wouldn't be a 1M.

300 locally sold units of a 1M doesn't make it collectable, someone more across the M range pointed out a while back that the E92 M3 GTS was made in really low numbers circa 140-150 in total and around 25 RHD as was the E46 M3 CSL in RHD circa 500 units of 1200 WW. None of those are worth more than list price, you can buy a CSL for ~100 and it was $210k in 2003.

Those and the Evo E30 M3s (or M3r) would be worth money long term before the 1M. That's not to say the 1M isn't an awesome bit of kit, it is.

You couldn't tolerate a base model F type, and you'd probably have a hard time selling it too. My friends was ~265K fully loaded. Very nice, but the V8 is a must, and you expect it to have what is has at that option level, anything less would leave you disappointed.

There's no decent CSL's anymore, they're all really high kms and tatty.

I'm not fortunate enough to be able to afford one yet anyway.

[T1M]

Nor am I. Gorgeous cars, but you really need to tick most/all of the obscenely priced options list.

[phunky_monkey]

I'd take the 1M over an F-Type all day long

How about a collectible F-Type?
My Dad has one of these on the way, I think only 5 are coming to Oz.
Quite excited

1M's have really come down in the past few weeks, looks like the M2 could be responsible for this. Question is, a used 1M or M235i??

depends what u want?

eventually i think the car will appreciate in value simply its because its one and last of it's kind!

The 1M is raw feeling compared to m235 which is luxury and quiet. i suggest driving the 1m before u say no to it!

They'll drop even more as the M2 availability increased new or used.
I test drove a 1M recently and all I focused on was the way it drove, engine response, basic ergonomics etc. If you like cabin luxury, the M235i is probably better place to be...

The only gripe I had was my shoe would get stuck under the dead pedal when disengaging the clutch. This car had some aftermarket pedals so I didn't know if it was the cause.

[T1M]

That's never happened on mine. I have standard pedals.
