WTB: V Orange 1M
Hello everyone! I'm a serious buyer in the market for a fully-loaded VO 1M (stuck on VO). I'm in Ca and willing to travel-probably I'd fly out and drive back. Ideally I'm looking for something around $50K with as low mileage as possible. One owner is better but not mandatory. Almost landed one this week and then things went sideways at the 11th hour . . . typical car biz hokeyness. It's ok, I'll take it as a sign that something better awaits. Good news is all my ducks are in a row for the next one. Please let me know if you're ready to let yours go or know of one that's available. Thank you! |

Guys, I need some advice. There are two cars I'm looking at now, what do you think of pricing, anything else you'd like to add . . .
Car 1; VO, $65k, Minnesota, 4500 miles, fully loaded with a Dinan exhaust (oem included), one owner, clean Carfax, basically a show car with all original goodies plus some extras (car cover, battery tender etc) (Here's a thought. Obviously a winner assuming you want/are able to afford it, how stupid is it to get a mint car like this one when I know I'm going to drive it to the tune of 3 to 5k miles annually, maybe more after the lease on my M3 runs out in 18 months?) Car 2; VO, $49.7k, Texas, 50,000 miles, fully loaded with an Akrapovic exhaust (oem NOT available), three owners, clean Carfax, needs: diff resealed, brake fluid flush, new battery, squeaky clutch pedal lubed, work to be done at nearby BMW dealer at seller's expense. Driving amount is the same as above. (I paid for the inspection, how I know what it needs. Feels a bit overpriced to me, but they are doing the maintenance it needs so that's something). This car is the one I was originally on and thought I lost. It came back, but now I'm not so sure about it. |

What's most important to you, price or collectibility? When I am in your situation the most challenging part of the hunt is to have patients, especially if you want it now.
Can just buy mine, it's in between.

My vote is Car#1. Let me know when you get it. My aunt lives in a little house at the corner of Lincoln and Alta. We can possibly meet up when I visit her. You and I can then park our VO's next to each other. |

Fighting the patience thing now, wanna pull the trigger as I have the time to road trip etc since I'm not working. Covid is also something to consider-it's hard to enjoy your new ride from the morgue . . . . |

Even tho very low mileage, did car have a yearly oil change? Brake fluid flush at least every 4-5 yrs. At least 1 coolant flush? Good luck; if car is everything it should be, then you'll be happy forever. I, and Rob Segal and many others can buy a car over the telephone, never having actually seen it in person. You ask the right questions, you get the right answers back. |

Something else, it is too dangerous to fly out to Minneapolis then drive back because of Covid? Thinking about finalizing the deal, then going out in the beginning of June. |

If you haven't bought one of the two you were considering, my VO 1M is for sale. It has 57,000 fun-filled miles on it. Never bone stock, never tracked, one autocross. Some pics here: https://www.bmwblog.com/2012/03/27/v...1m-oil-change/
