Is it just me or is the 1M loaded about $10k more than a similarly-equipped 135i? You can inject an awful lot of performance (power, handling, braking, etc.) in the 135i for $10k. Of course, if I was going to do that, I would just get the 1M, but I would hardly call the 1M affordable in any regard. Then again, a loaded M3 is over the $70k mark, which is just absurd, considering you could buy two 328i's for the same price! So the $10k premium for a 1M begins to look not so bad.

Wow...1M base price is a good $15000 over my 2011 135 base price
And then I added all options (alarm, leather, navi, HK, "M" package, PDC, Ipod, heated seats, BMW assist, bluetooth) I felt I wanted minus Premium package...grand total out the door $41,000.
For another $4000-$5000 I'm adding 19" rims, quad exhaust, slight graphics treatment, interior carbon fiber trim and more power. In hindsight, I made a pretty smart deal. It's no "M" but it's a great car, I've been driving it and it's already 50% paid off. |

That sounds really reasonable, considering a fully loaded 335i is around $52k.

Last time I read anything about options for the 1M, you couldn't order BT and iPod separately.

BMWblog has a nice article about option prices and Euro delivery price. It appears if you want Bluetooth, it has to be ordered with ipod, but ipod can be ordered standalone. http://www.bmwblog.com/2011/02/17/bm...y-price-43830/ |

We only hoped that meant recent college grads in early 20s with a decent salary - we were wrong. |

You know I LOVE my 135i. But given that the 1M's price would be soooo close to a M3 (sedan or coupe) - I think I would go for the M3. Mainly for that awsome NA engine and the added choices of car colors and trim. I think IF the 1M had more colors and trim choices... I would be waiting in line for one. As it is now. I am happy with my 135i. Dackel |

Pricing is almost exactly what I figured (from reading various posts around these parts)... I think its within reason.. HOWEVER I was told by my AD today that my car will not be delivered until NOVEMBER 2011! I surrendered my deposit since the begining of October and was in constant contact with him. I am suposedly #1 on his list... what gives? (for reference this dealership sold 1300 cars last year)... and will get only one car.
Did anyone else get a projected delivery date today? |

If I'm inferring correctly, there will be ED discount of 7%? If so, that is spectacular news. |

See Dackel, I look at it the other way. Even though I know that the 1M will cost almost the same as a MSP M3 sedan, I want the 1M
I WANT the smaller car that should handle more like my R53. I WANT the mid-range torque that shoves you in your seat (without reving the hell out of it). I WANT those nasty (in a good way) fenders with the M Diff underneath. I WANT orange stitching on my seats (even though it won't really go with anything else on the car, lol) Unfortunately for us Military Sales customers right now it's, want in one hand... (& you know the rest )
