[Tornado1M]

That is freaking terrific

[champignon]

Remember this post the next time some clown posts that the 1Ms are going down in value.

Yeah on the other hand it's good to remember it isn't a daily driver.

[Grey Dove]

What's the real deal behind this sale?

Lots of us use our 1Ms as daily drivers...

To me it's not worth saving cars to make money on; that's what we have JOBS and real investments for...

This is, however a big price paid for this one. Kind of a shame this 1M will probably forever be a garage queen...

That being said the 1M has practically doubled in price in 7 short years. Pretty much unheard of in the automotive world. Pretty unbelievable..

pro for the seller appreciation
con for the buyer museum piece or drive the shit out of it?

Great for the appreciation of the 1M... but for the fact that it encourages owners to not drive this amazing car

This one is an extreme case; a few hundred miles driven over 7 years. I don't drive mine all that much, maybe 2500 miles/year, but then I have a whole bunch of cars and it would be hard to put more than that many miles on it if I want to drive my other ones as well.

I always look forward to driving my 1M; it's a special treat. Not driving it in the winter makes me yearn to drive it more during the clement seasons.

Erm, before i got my 125i i was scouting several 1M cars. I was actually interested in non garage queen ones. Even then i found several 1Ms with 50,000+ kms still going for €50K+, i even found one with 225,000 kms and the asking price was €45K.

Like many people, i do not believe in garage queens, i like to drive what i spent my money on, while i do understand the thinking behind low milage models, it is not who i am and the values (at least in Germany) still hold up very well.

Generally speaking this is a good thing. To see an ultra low mileage car go for that helps all of us. Even if you daily drive your car and the miles accumulate these sorts of sales in the future will provide a sales BASE for the car moving forward.

Missed the point entirely. Ppl use them as daily drivers and continue to use 92k as any indication are delusional. Just enjoy it. Whether that's staring, sitting or actually driving.
The same would apply to a lot of makes and models at that mileage and age (or older).

While I love the car, I think I’d get a 911. Maybe I’m missing something lol.

I'd rather have the 1M. Really...I can afford most 911s and have driven many...

Yep! 92k gets you the base 911

1M is way more fun than that

[Zombie_Head]

For the record, this particular GREEN 1M has been on sale for just under 1 year now, asking price is just under €100,000.

The colour is horrible if you ask me, price has not changed since i saw it in December 2017 and still for sale. Personally i doubt anyone will buy it, due to the colour, but still shows what a horrid colour (my opinion) and 50K mileage can go for.

[canadianbimmerlover]

This is definitely nice to see since I have a very low kilometre 1M.

Is that the Java Green 1M, the last one to roll off the factory line?

I can not say, i can call them on Monday and ask?

[gmx]

Well, advertised price is not equal to purchase price. Everyone knows that. It isn't even an indicative price. We have a handful of E30 M3s collectively advertised at >100k. JZA80s > 50k. Does that mean they're changing hands for that much? No.

That aside, it does look like the factory Java Green one. VIN number is there might be worth looking up.

If so that is a significant car. Would love to know if that's one of the original green 1Ms or just a wrap...my guess is with that price it is an original individual. Very very cool.

[analogue]

Yes, that was the Green Mamba car (WBSUR91080VU27352). One of only 4 to get individual treatment from the factory.

The listing includes the individual information on the car:

BMW Individual Dachhimmel anthrazit

BMW Individual Hochglanz Shadow Line

Green Mamba;Sonderlackierung Java green;M3 GTS Felgen matt schwarz, Chromteile Exterieur in Chrom dunkel-Niere-Kieme-Endrohrblenden; Handbremshebel bestickt(M Power) im Kundenauftrag Herr Krebs

Herr Krebs is Steffen Krebs. His family owns the dealership that has the car listed, so maybe that is just more of a promotional listing than a real selling effort. You can see that the back of the car has a "Steffen Edition" logo on it.

And the back story is that Steffen Krebs is the grandson of Paul Krebs, who apparently started a meaningful partnership with BMW just after WW1. So I guess that was the clout you needed to get an individual 1M built - just have a 90 year family relationship with BMW.
