Production numbers by options
I’m wondering if there is a place that shows production numbers by options. To be completely transparent, my reason for wondering is I’m trying to get a handle on how many 1M’s were delivered as “strippers”, as I have one.
When I look at the various places these are brought to market I don’t believe I’ve ever seen another fully base model (no nav, no heated seats, no power seats....am I missing any?). I have seen a couple of no nav, no power seats but with heated seat option cars. It seems with other limited quantity cars, they have a pretty good handle on production numbers by options (my brother owns a 1/35, I believe, G8 GXP manual with a particular interior color combo, for example) but don’t believe I’ve seen anything in regards to this with the 1M. I’m also curious how folks here seem to determine their production number (____/740) for the NA market? I’ve seen the spread sheet but not sure how to correlate that to the 740 number. Thanks in advance for any help in replies. |

I still consider it a stripper if it only had one little option like heated seats or Sirius which don't really add any weight but I know what you mean about a true stripper, those are probably less than 100. |

The data isn't available, in part, because the marketplace hasn't defined "strippers" and their variants to be different or more valuable than any other version of a 1M.
There are a few individuals who believe that these strippers are more highly desirable than any other 1M, but I do not believe that this is the general consensus. These individuals, not coincidentally, generally happen to own a stripper. I would be shocked to see any kind of analysis of resales that showed that strippers sell for higher prices than other 1Ms; this would be the only way that one could establish the elevated value of a stripper vs. other 1Ms. Most people shopping for a 1M are going to concentrate on the obvious qualities that differentiate a good resale 1M from a mediocre one, such things as overall condition, mileage, prior maintenance history, whether or not the car has been in an accident. Once you get down to such things as power vs. manual seats, you will find that you are truly off in the weeds.

I wouldn’t say the reason the data isn’t available has anything to do with what you mention. It simply isn’t available, to my understanding. My point isn’t to understand my value vs yours, it’s just something fun to know as a car guy. Again, reading through BaT auctions and you’ll see “1/37 with this color combination and transmission” etc (last I saw that got this going was on a Viper GTS auction on BaT). That stuff is fun and I’m mostly surprised it’s not out there with so few and only one model year while other cars have this insight with much higher production numbers. To the thought specific to 1M’s, we are very early in this cars collectibility evolution, so what we’ve seen to date will change over the next few years. But again, that wasn’t my intent with this. |

The fact that no one has done this yet, to my knowledge, points to the fact that this is more or less minutiae of the highest order. No one would have any trouble figuring out how many hyper expensive Porsche Turbos were out there and in what configurations they were made, if need be.

I agree that I don't think specific production configuration numbers really impact collectability or value in the short term. As others have noted ,there are a lot of factors that make a larger impact.
Having said that, there's really no telling what the deciding factor for high level car collectors would be in 20+ years. Maybe none of the person's collection has nav, so they are only looking to buy strippers. Maybe having the nav is a total novelty like finding a 70s era car with an 8-track tape player, and that's what the collector loves is the time capsule aspect of those technologies. Same could be said for AC, power windows, etc. It really just comes down to the collector, not the car. Value variance based on options seems pretty arbitrary from a long-term collectibility standpoint. |

My car came with power seats but were not heated. I also didn't have the compass mirror or comfort access or parking assist but did have Navigation. I was able to install my compass/homelink mirror from my 135i and it was plug and play. I also ordered heating elements for my seats and will have them installed soon. Wish I had comfort access but it's too much trouble to retrofit from what I've read.

Package selection (with or without other standalone options): 512 ZPP+ZCV 83 ZPP 145 no packages 272 were built with every option available. 16 were true strippers, not a single option added. 83 were ED cars assuming the addition of S428 (Warning triangle and first aid kit) is an accurate indication. Remember when there was a brief window when people got Nav without paying for it or ordering ZCV? I believe there were 30 cars built that way. There are also 28 that have a drink holder without Nav. 2 of the 740 cars actually appear to be built to Canadian specs. I'll get the full data up in a google docs spreadsheet soon. |
