Wife was talking to the dealer about her order and it was mentioned that someone else has enquired about a 1M and he can't get them one.

Looks like they might all be just about gone.
there are plenty left, many are marked for demo, a number also ear marked by dealer principals. There is a bit more legwork to be done, but try one of the bigger dealer networks and you should be ok.

The wife is OK her car was ordered a few weeks ago biggrin

Dealer just happened to mention it as it was us that told him there was only going to be 450 but he only had two interested parties in the 1M and we were one of them.

Seems there is no more factory orders being taken for RHD.

One of the German tuners have had one on a dyno already, and it showed a flywheel corrected figure of 347hp, so there is a chance that they could be "conservative" by 10-15hp.
Where does all this 335 BHP come from anyway????? The UK car has 340BHP. The 35i in the Z4 verses the 35iS the iS has 34 BHP more and overboost the same as the 1M (same setup) but the iS has an extra oil cooler so the 1M must have this positioned about an intake somewhere.

It worries me that some 306 BHP N54 owners are mapping to 380 BHP and nearly all of them have had HPFP problems and all have had a recall for the HPFP in the US.

You will all be happy to know that no 2011 model year 35iS Z4 has had a failed pump or recall that we have heard about.

You will love this engine. It is sensational........

The US version of the car is quoted as 335bhp, Europe gets the 'full fat' 340bhp version.

Saw my first one on the M42 yeaterday and we "cat and moused" as we cruised from the M42 onto the M40 southbound. It was in Valencia Orange and looked fantastic. Great stance, but it did make my E46 coupe look small! I'd love one biggrin

Thank you PH for helping me get in touch with BMW UK who bought my number MC10 UPE. Just seen it
in the News Of The World on a 1M press car!

Just wanted to acknowledge Garlick and the crew.

Spotted my first one yesterday in Southampton. It was black and very subtle. Nearly mistook it for a boggo 1 coupe.

If it's any consolation, the E46 M3 CSL in black is easily mistaken for a boggo 3 series.;)

I would have considered purchasing that. Did you advertise it here?

Saw the BSM 1M at Stephen James Blackheath last week and they had a BSM 1er coupe there next to it.

I thought it was soooo much more aggressive. Fantastic stance. I was hesitant about black but now I can't wait for mine to arrive!

just been photo shooting this very car until midnight, as it leaves the Wharf tomorrow. Went straight to valeting after you dropped it off. Will post the results once they're processed, give it a week or so.
