1st M Coupe



BMW 1 Series M Coupe


In the period from May 2011 to June 2012, only 6,309 vehicles based on the BMW E82 were built.


If you consider that the classic BMW E30 M3 was built around 17,000 times, you can now speculate how the 1 Series M Coupé might develop (also in terms of price).


One thing is certain - the car is an old-school driving machine and should be driven regularly. Because that's what makes it the most fun.


True to the motto:


Collecting memories - not dust!

The 1M Coupé was delivered from the factory (the vehicle was built in the Leipzig plant) in 3 colors (Alpine White 3, Valencia Orange and Sapphire Black). Valencia Orange was the "presentation color" back in 2011.


In addition, 3 special colours were tested at the Leipzig plant. These are Monte Carlo Blue , Javagreen and Atacama Yellow The Monte Carlo Blue was used twice, the other two colours once each.


A Monte Carlo blue 1M is the vehicle of Dr. Kay Segler, the "father" of the 1M. His vehicle is the only one with blue instead of orange stitching in the leather/Alcantara. Kay is registered with us in the #1ermregister!

Since the 1M Coupé has a "special" history, it was internally considered a project "Pyrate" led.


 So they "raided" the BMW spare parts warehouse and created the 1M Coupé from existing vehicles (E82 body, N54 engine with modified software, N55 gearbox, E92 M3 axles / brake system, rims), of course with further modifications.
