2012 BMW 1M Coupe-1 Of 450 -Full BMW History-Outstanding For Sale

Peter Vardy Heritage offer this outstanding BMW 1M, 1 of only 450 cars made for the UK.

Delivering 335BHP, driving the rear wheels via lovely slick six-speed manual gearbox, the twin-turbo 3-litre straight-six engine delivers 0-62MPH in 4. 8 seconds and a Top Speed of 155MPH. Finished in Alpine White with Black Boston Leather Upholstery, this example has covered a mere 35167 miles and comes with a full BMW Service History, with front discs and pads being recently replaced. Clearly cossetted throughout its lifetime, it boasts £3575 of options including unmarked 19 inch M Alloys, Adaptive headlights, Folding exterior mirrors, Heated front seats, DAB digital radio, Voice control, Sun protection glass, Loudspeaker system, BMW Assist & Online, Enhanced Bluetooth telephone functionality, Telephone USB audio interface, BMW Professional Media Package with Satellite Navigation. Additional specification includes Park distance control, Rain sense wipers/ auto lights, Xenon headlights, Cruise control and Extended interior light pack.

The BMW 1M as its commonly known, used the suspension and brakes from its big brother M3, as well as using a mechanically locking limited-slip differential. All of this combined with the famous N54 turbo charged straight six engine in the small 1 series coupe body, made this car quickly raise to the top of the best drivers cars ever. The 1M’s twin-turbo straight-six is a stonker. Although almost utilitarian in the way it delivers its huge punch, it still manages to have that classic BMW note –gritty yet aristocratic. It is hard to comprehend just how fast the pint-sized 1M is until you experience it, but at times it is almost unsettling, due to the 1M’s abundance of low and mid-range torque, which properly shoves this little coupe down the road. An overboost function provides an extra 37lb ft for short bursts, peak torque climbing to 369lb ft. That’s serious grunt, especially in something this size.

The 1M’s short wheelbase and lack of roll mean that it can feel quite a snappy car over the limit. Fifty-fifty weight distribution and the M diff allow for hugely entertaining moments with the traction control switched off, but you do need to be quick with your reactions. Unquestionably a drivers car, entertaining, fun and a handful to test the nerves, when you feel the need.

Registered on the 30th March 2012 the vehicle has a Full BMW service history, including the essential running in service. A truly magnificent example in every way and with condition, rarity and low mileage making this a superb addition to any collection, or investment opportunity, if the unprecedented increase in values over the last few years are anything to go by.

This example will be sold with a BMW service using manufacturer correct fluids and filters, in addition to 12 months MOT and a warranty before delivery to its new owner.
