unmistakable presence. Built during a single model year, only 6,339 units were produced globally, making it one of BMW?s most exclusive M models. Of those, a mere 983 were allocated to the North American market. This particular example is even more special, being one of just 222 finished in Black Sapphire Metallicmaking it the rarest color option offered.This 1M has had just two owners since new, with the current owner having taken stewardship in 2015. Over the past decade, it has been meticulously cared for and sparingly driven, with only 19,000 miles on the odometer. Its low mileage and well-documented ownership history make it a prime collector?s piece, while also offering a thrilling and engaging driving experience for those who value analog performance in a digital age.At the heart of the 1M lies a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six engine, delivering robust power and torque across the rev range. This particular car benefits from a Dinan Stage 2 tune, which further enhances throttle response, boost levels, and overall engine outputwhile maintaining BMW?s renowned reliability and smooth power delivery. The result is an even more potent version of an already formidable sports coupe.Adding to its performance credentials is an Akrapovic exhaust system, known for its lightweight titanium construction and aggressive sound profile. The upgraded exhaust not only reduces weight but also elevates the car?s auditory presence, giving it a distinctive growl under acceleration. For purists, the original factory exhaust is included with the sale, ensuring the car can be returned to stock if desired.Transmission duties are handled exclusively by a 6-speed manual gearbox, staying true to the M division?s commitment to driver engagement. The manual transmission, combined with a compact wheelbase and rear-wheel drive layout, makes the 1M a joy to drive on twisty backroads or track days alike. Its chassis balance, limited-slip differential, and sharp steering create a connected, old-school driving feel rarely found in modern performance cars.Inside, the car features a black interior that complements the rare Black Sapphire exterior. The cabin blends sport-focused design with premium materials, showcasing classic BMW M styling cues throughout. As a whole, this 2011 BMW 1M represents the pinnacle of modern analog drivingrare, powerful, and beautifully preserved, with tasteful upgrades that enhance performance while respecting its original character.Please call if interested or e-mail with any questions.
