About this 1M

This particular 2012 example is finished in elegant Brilliantschwarz, a discreet and highly desirable specification that enhances the muscular lines of the widened M body. With only 4,155 left hand drive units produced globally, and just 1,634 finished in black, this example represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly collectible modern classic. 

Exterior

The 1M’s design is defined by its purposeful aggression. Flared wheel arches, enlarged air intakes and its squat stance clearly signal its intent, while retaining compact proportions that set it apart from larger M models.

Finished in Brilliantschwarz, the car presents a more understated alternative to the iconic Valencia Orange, allowing the widened bodywork and signature M elements to speak through form rather than colour. The quad exhaust system and subtle M detailing complete a timeless and increasingly desirable appearance.

Interior

Inside, the 1M remains focused and driver oriented. The cabin is free from unnecessary distractions, staying true to the model’s philosophy of delivering an uncompromised driving experience.The interior layout is simple and purposeful, reinforcing that this is a driver’s car first and foremost. The analog feel and restrained design are now considered defining traits of the model’s appeal in an era of increasingly digital performance cars.

Engine and Drivetrain

At the heart of the 1M lies BMW’s twin turbocharged 3.0 litre inline six cylinder N54 engine, producing 340 horsepower and up to 500 Nm of torque with overboost.

Power is delivered exclusively through a six speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels, ensuring a direct and engaging connection between driver and machine. With 0 to 100 kmh achieved in just 4.9 seconds, the 1M delivers performance that remains highly competitive even by modern standards. The chassis, partially derived from the contemporary M3, provides exceptional balance, precision and feedback, making the 1M one of the most engaging M cars ever produced.
