PM'd. I'm in the South West so a bit of a trek from Lancashire. I would suggest that you scout around your local dealers tomorrow. Because it's launch day, I think you've got a fair chance of catching people picking up their cars that may well have been hidden around the back of the Dealer for a week or two!

Thanks Boxercup!! 14 hours to go and counting...!!
Will be heading straight to Wales!

As for a review, I don't have much to compare it to, as have only briefly test driven the 135i. This will be my first real wheel drive car.

Will definitely take loads of photos though!

Thank you for the pm
I have managed to locate a 1M in VO a bit closer to home.
Will be going to look at it some time next week.
Thanks again and I hope you enjoy your new car

Just wanted to echo Boxercup's statement by wishing all UK buyers luck in picking up their 1M's today.

Have a great day all. Looking forward to new pics!

Oh and if you see or hear of AW and BSM cars on display (ideally together) in and around London and the South East, please let me know. If you can tear yourselves away from your car for a minute ot two!

Or if you fancy breaking in your 1M by driving down/up to Surrey?!?!

Enjoy all.

Cheers,

Mark.

Does anyone know of any actual launch activity going on today? Unless you're collecting your car (hurrah! :-) ) it feels like a bit of an anticlimax....

TBH Clive I think the UK has seriously lagged behind other countries right from it's inception on this front.

Not much point in splashing out on a big launch when they're already sold out?

I was told yesterday by my dealer that there would not be an official launch (party/press release etc.) due to it not being a mass production vehicle i.e. like other BMWs.

And as mentioned, all allocation is gone so they don't really need to promote the vehicle.

I can't say for sure - only that I personally saw 4 1M's at my dealer's site this week, they've sold more than a dozen as a group (3 sites) and have been told by BMW HQ that there all gone and they can't get any more!

I'd be surprised if they had sold out, i placed a deposit yesterday and this morning spoke to a dealer who said they had slots available.
