My new (to me) 1M

mr_z4mc1m_oz · 07-12-2019, 04:59 PM

I picked up this little beauty 2 weeks ago. One owner, stock, 30k kms. Couldn't be happier with it.

She's a beautiful beast!

MightyMouseTech · 07-12-2019, 05:41 PM

You mean 2011? May have been built in 2012, but it is still a 2011 MY.

blackmist222777 · 07-12-2019, 05:57 PM

Pretty... Congrats!

Rush1 · 07-12-2019, 06:00 PM

Beautiful machine!

Nice, I’ve been seeing this one on car sales.. looks mega clean and with the plates too. You’re gonna love this little experience. And when I say little, I thought I’d keep mine for a few years like every other car I’ve had, then move it on, but I’ve now had it for 7 years. Well it’s still here, so now cars and bikes come and go around it, but the 1M stays. Yep, I like it that much. And I’ve somehow looked at M2s, M3s, Foglios, 911s, and somehow for some inexplicable reason, I still prefer getting back into my little 1M and ripping through the hills... can’t understand it.

In Europe they made it in 2012 too. Also Mexico. North America only got 2011.

Ah, the eternal debate model year (2011) or production year (2011 or 2012 depending on actual car). I've always favored defaulting to model year unless someone is specifically going out of the way to specify when their car was manufactured.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Congrats ! Im sure you will enjoy it !

Sedan_Clan · 07-13-2019, 12:21 PM

Congrats on the purchase! I love the 1M!

CarJunkie · 07-13-2019, 01:18 PM

Welcome and congrats!

craufurd · 07-13-2019, 03:03 PM

Just beautiful. How anyone could drive her only ~4,500km a year is a mystery! I drive her twin and hope to see you around the streets.

Congratulations!! The #1 thing to remember is: DRIVE IT!!!

fastcars · 07-13-2019, 08:42 PM

Tornado1M · 07-13-2019, 10:04 PM

Congrats 🎉🍾

Nice classic Alpine White 😁

Congrats and welcome to the club!
Good choice - AW is the fastest color.

Sorry you've lost me on this one. I honestly don't care if it's a 2011 or 2012 model. It says on the registration papers it's a 2012 model, and built in Jan-12. I understand it came out in 2011. It's a 1 Series M all the same.

My Z4MCoupe was built and registered in 2008. But I think the first one was made in 2006. Or is it a 2002 model z4. I'm not sure, this is all new to me.

Not claiming to be an expert, but my understanding is that the model year of a vehicle is a single year, usually the year that car in that configuration is first manufactured and sold. The model year is then used to identify that model regardless of year of manufacture as long as there are no fundamental chassis or mechanical changes (ignoring "facelift" aka minor model change for now).

The 1M was manufactured in 2011 and 2012 without any substantial modification. A 2011 and 2012 car should be identical. Following this convention model year is 2011.

I hope neither of my posts have been disrespectful. I love my AW beauty manufactured in 2012 just like it seems you do. Hope you get to enjoy yours as much as I've enjoyed mine. Peace.

All good ///mate I've edited my original post to keep everyone happy. Given there is only 1 version of the 1 Series M I won't reference the year again 😉
