This BMW 1M is a timelessly specified and well-maintained example of the highly accomplished modern performance hero, offered from long-term ownership and with three owners from new. Under the bonnet sits a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six, delivering around 250kW to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. This original Australian-market example has been with the seller and third owner for eight years. The odometer shows 99,140 Kms from new. This 1M is finished in the handsome shade of Alpine White III over a black ‘Boston’ leather-trimmed interior, featuring contrasting orange stitching, embossed ‘M’ emblems on the front headrests, and Anthracite Alcantara trim. It rides on a set of 19-inch ‘Style 359’ alloy wheels shod in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres. The factory specification includes xenon headlights, rear parking sensors, cruise control, a BMW Professional infotainment system with satellite navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, a Harman/Kardon sound system, and electrically adjustable front seats with two-position driver memory. This example has been upgraded with KW V3 coilover suspension, and metal intake pipes. The car comes with a warning triangle, all the owner’s manuals, two key fobs, the stamped service booklet, the tyre puncture repair kit, tools, and the original suspension and intake pipes. Please note: the cherished numberplate ‘RB-6027’ shown on the car is not included in the sale. It has been swapped to NCG54J. The seller notes that the rear bumper has been repaired and repainted due to being scraped by another car, a paintless dent repair was carried out on the right-hand rear wheel arch after it was dented by a stick when driving, and the right-hand lower corner of the front bumper has been repainted due to a gutter scrape. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: stone chips on the front bumper, bonnet and forward-facing surface of the rear wheel arches, the boot lid has a small area of etching from bird droppings, there is slight wear on the driver’s seat bolster, a couple of blemishes on the steering wheel, and small shoe scuffs on the base of the door cards. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults, and they state that there are no warning lights on the dashboard.
