My 1M Value
Hey guys,
I am considering selling my 1M in order to jump into a different car. What do you think this car is worth and should the mods stay or revert to stock before the sale? 2011 BMW 1M - Valencia Orange - 3,500 Miles SunTek PPF on Entire Car Brand new Micheline 4S Tires + New TPMS Akrapovic Titanium Exhaust (from the mid pipe) Carbon Fiber Kidney Grills Custom Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel with Alcantara and Orange Accents The car is in 10/10 condition. Always garaged and taken care of with the best products. Thanks! Last edited by 10M3; 09-03-2018 at 05:02 PM.. |

Definitely revert to stock.
The market is all over the place, with some optimistic souls wanting $120k. I've also seen Carmax sell a few in the 50-55K range. The only way to be sure is to throw it up on BaT and see what you get. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2011-bmw-1m-28/ Last edited by Thunderguts; 08-29-2018 at 11:24 AM.. |

Stock will get you more money. A shame you never even drove it...hopefully the next owner will drive the hell out of it!
Current market price of these cars with so few miles would be, in STOCK condition: at least $65-75k. The days of car max selling these for $50k are long gone, Thunderguts! Was like that about 2-3 years ago...that was the low point of the 1M market been on the up ever since...

I wouldn't say that. For comparison, here's a 1M with a little over 35k miles that recently sold on Bring-a-Trailer: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2011-bmw-1m-30/

The modified ones always sell for less. For the sake of my personal purchase, where the vehicle was an investment and for fun, I wouldn't consider a modified one. In the case of this sale, the owner didn't even know if the car had a tune prior to their ownership...which is probably not going to fly with the typical 1M buyer, hence the 48k price.

Their pricing model fails with collectible cars, however. I purchased a 2009 Bullitt Mustang from them with 4,200 miles for 5k less than private sale prices at that time. They've listed several Civic Type Rs with 2000 miles for $39k when private sale prices are nearer $44k. I've only seen one 1M for sale on Carmax this year, but the price was very reasonable as I recall. |

Go to BaT website. All the info is there. From what I have witnessed, best results are had by seller that provides timely responses to questions asked and there is no discrepancies between what is auctioned and it's description.
Also, you can not have too many photos. Hire a professional photographer for best results. Or call EAG. (Enthusiast Auto Group) They are always looking for low mile 1M's |

So, EAG is selling a 1M VO with less than 4K miles for $82K.......seems high in my opinion which is probably why it's been sitting for so long with there other overpriced cars

Here is a tough one for you: whats my 1m worth? Original owner, 85k miles! Also has a ding on carfax from a 2 mph parking lot. Annoying but have repairs for less than 2k just bumper cover basically. Mods all reversible. Midpipe, custom orange belts, black wheels, bms catch can, short shift kit, black fender/kidney trim. High miles but complete maintenance from including preventative things like water pump, intake blasting, etc. I was thinking 40-45k if I ever sold.

A stock car might get you $70K USD. They are retailing for a above $75K for a near perfect stock car with less than 5K miles. The last stock VO car on BaT with under 5K brought in just over $72K.
I might suggest you keep the car and store it. The prices for these cars are really starting to climb. We might see 90-100K for a really nice low mile example in 5-7 years. If you are going to sell it, bring it back as close to stock as possible. |

Beauty car. I want your steering wheel. If I was in the market I would pay more for yours with the steering wheel and akra exhaust - great adds. Revert the front grill to stock

I'm not sure about storing it and sell later idea, If you take care of it properly and maintaining it while enjoying all those years driving, those few thousands $$$ difference that you lost for driving it is really meh...
As for op, put back to stock, sell your parts, and have all maintenance records, you will make more for selling as stock car and aftermarket parts separate. |

That's like never having sex with your wife/girlfriend so she'll be perfect for the next guy. For the love of all that's holy, drive your car and enjoy it. You basically have a hall pass. As long as you maintain it and don't crash, your car will always be worth more than you paid. That's incredibly rare. |

The whole point of the 1M was to enjoy it...some people clearly never got the memo.

My guess is that you would be closer to $40K, definitely under $40K once you go over 100K miles. Can see it being purchased by someone who is planning on using it for a track car....and what an awesome track car to have |
