Not sure on the rules for spotted threads and I'm not overly keen on them myself but...

Last week on the way into the office in Reading I ended up side by side with a lovely looking 1M (the new style not 80s supercar). It was in a burn orange colour and the first I've seen in the flesh.

It was a lovely looking car and certainly my favourite M for a long time. Just how rare are these cars as I've not seen any other?

~450 1Ms in the UK (not sure how many have been written off etc.) of which more than 1/3 I would say are Valencia, as black is definitely the least popular / rarest colour.

no idea what CSB means biggrin But only 450? Thats rarer than hens teeth then!

Really looked great in the flesh. I remember when I was buying a 350z back when they launched they had a similar colour, looks great in flesh but the difficulty come resale put me off - always the case with non standard colours but with so few numbers and the colour looking brilliant I doubt that would be a problem.

Seriously impressed by the look of the car, they capture what was the essence of BM for me, much like the new styling - purposeful.

Lovely looking car.

If it is a cool story bro I feel saddened that I have been deemed to be a Barry.

Quite an attrition rate! Love the idea of the E61, you were very lucky to have possibly the ultimate all round car!
