Gorgeous BMW 1M Coupe Will Appease The Hoonigan In You

The M2 is an incredible car, but if you want something more raw then you might want to check out a used 1M Coupe. All signs point to it becoming a future classic, thus your investment shall probably pay off big time.

Produced in just a little over 6,300 examples, it was powered by M Division’s second turbocharged engine ever, after the V8 that debuted in the X6 M. Since then, its N54 straight-six was also used in the Z4 sDrive35is, but the roadster wasn’t as well sorted out as the 1M Coupe.

Named the 1M and not M1 so that it wouldn’t be mistaken to the classic sports car of the ’70s and ’80s, it reminded enthusiasts of the original M3 E30. This, combined with proper driving dynamics and a classic shape, paved the road for its success and continues to keep its price at the same level as the M2 Coupe.

This example is estimated to change hands for £45,000-£50,000 ($61,551-$68,390) at the SilverstoneAuctions’ May Sale 2018, which takes place this month, on the 19th. It was made in 2011, is one of only 450 units delivered to the UK in right-hand drive and has two previous owners.

Accordint to the listing, this BMW 1M Coupe has 12,200 miles (19,634 kilometers) on the odometer, was last serviced in December and, before sale, will be given a fresh MoT.

Also, it’s equipped with an extensive list of optional extras, such as the electrically adjustable seats, sat-nav, Harman Kardon sound system and adaptive headlights.

It’s definitely worth looking into if you’re in the market for such a car. On the other hand, £46,740 ($63,930) gets you a brand new new M2 in the United Kingdom instead, and £59,905 ($81,938) a freshly-delivered M3. Having to pick just one could prove difficult; we guess you can’t go wrong with any of them, but the 1M offers the most pure driving experience, so if that’s your thing, well… you know what you have to do.
