After years of hunting and searching for the best 1M he could find, finally in 2017 this 800 mile example was offered to him by Sytner BMW.  Although mileage that low makes using any car as special as this a little frightening, he was determined that the car would be used occasionally for those very special events. This 1M was transported to his collection in the UK and sat alongside some very special cars. His Grandfather’s 1 owner from new Jaguar XJS, Evo 2 Integrale, Ferrari 348, two original Fiat 500s to name but a few. 

After months and months of mental debate and anguish, it is with great regret that the owner of this showroom condition 1M has decided it is time for it to find a new home. Since he purchased the car in 2017, normal life had been dominated by the enormous refurbishment programme of his hotel in Cyprus. Covid added to this problem with travel between home here in the UK and Cyprus restricted. Initial thoughts of taking the car to Cyprus were dashed as he would be responsible for an import tax as the car has covered less than 6000 KM.  

Despite being born in a digital age and equipped with the many digital tools our modern and busy lives demand, the 1M retains that true analogue feel that the old school motoring enthusiast still craves. BMW fully succeeded in delivering this. Simplicity was the key. Rear wheel drive, front engine, proper manual gearbox with a clutch and plenty of German horses under the bonnet.

Long term Motorsport owners and enthusiasts were highly cynical of a turbo charged M car, however once behind the wheel the purist’s doubts quickly dissolved. This breathed on N54T engine delivered 335 bhp and when full throttle settings are used in conjunction with all 6 gear ratios,  the 1M becomes a perfectly balanced true hooligan’s delight.  Twin staged turbo charging gives a staggering torque figure of 500 Nm, which means this Jekyll and Hyde engine will pull itself along at 1100rpm with the ability of being both docile and mind bending. Suspension is kept simple, with no EDC offered as an option. Incredible grip through the 19” rims and staggered 245 front and 265 rear tyres give the 1M go cart style handling. 

The condition of this car is as expected. The car is in as-new showroom condition throughout.

​The car will be delivered to the new owner with all original manuals, handbooks, stamped service book, overmats and all original keys. 

Prior to handover this 1M will pass through our workshop for PDI, service, new coolant, new brake fluid and new MOT.
