It's definitely too bad they didn't offer mineral white, that would be probably my choice.

MDORPHN · 02-28-2011, 11:28 AM

That's my car!

The headlight washers are retractable for the production version.

hot!!!

flyga3 · 02-28-2011, 12:12 PM

I wish I could get the 1M in TiAg, like all my other BMWs.....

Stratus650 · 02-28-2011, 12:54 PM

Can't wait to see this color in person

but both AW and VO next to each other would be really Great to compare !

I'm guessing the VO will be "upstairs" in the lounge?

btw: The reason the car looks so fantastic on that pictures is the great contrast to the black background. I think the eyes get a little bit fooled right here.

That's just a guess. Will have to wait and see if it's up there.

GOLFFRR · 02-28-2011, 03:17 PM

this is the color i think i would pick after seeing these pics. I was all about black but that white just looks sooooo good

animah · 02-28-2011, 05:15 PM

I'm gonna make a phone call to my dealer tomorrow!

Really hope to see the VO at the show whatever where it is shown! I need to confirm my choice and I'm already a bit disappointed with the absence of the BSM version. Hopefully we should see pics from the welt very soon.

BMWBoss · 02-28-2011, 10:04 PM

The front bumper is sooooo sick!!!

BMWBoss · 02-28-2011, 10:05 PM

The AW looks amazing, but I'd still go with the VO...I think it'll stand out a lot more and make more of a statement IMO.

jmunro · 02-28-2011, 10:14 PM

I do like it, but the design really stands out as an after thought to the original design.

MarkRacerX · 03-01-2011, 12:20 AM

I LOVE the 1 M, but I think White hides the Great Body Lines, where the Orange they are more in your face, seems to hide body style some my opinion on the white.

Me too - maybe see you there!

OverSpun · 03-01-2011, 01:59 AM

Obviously- I'd have to go for a white one.

I love the body on the 1M.

That's right... It looks great in AW, though, but it really hides a lot of the lines and edges. That's the main reason why I'm still not sure about AW...

Oh really? Sure, why not...

Just talked to BMW Switzerland and the product marketing.

In Geneva will only be one white 1M, no VO. This is a BMW AG decission.

f*ck!
