For sale is a highly desirable 2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe, commonly known as the BMW 1M, finished in white with a black interior. This is not a standard 1 Series or 135i—it is the limited-production, factory M-developed performance coupe that has become one of BMW’s most sought-after modern enthusiast cars.
The 1M combines a compact, wide-body rear-wheel-drive chassis with BMW’s twin-turbocharged 3.0L inline-six engine, a 6-speed manual transmission, M limited-slip differential, M suspension, and powerful brakes. It offers a raw, analog driving experience that is increasingly hard to find in modern performance cars.
Highlights
The 1M was offered only with a six-speed manual and is widely regarded as one of BMW M’s best modern driver’s cars. Its compact size, turbocharged power, manual gearbox, and rear-wheel-drive layout make it a true enthusiast vehicle—and a very different car from a typical luxury coupe. The 1M uses a 335-hp twin-turbo inline-six, an M-derived rear suspension and differential, and factory 19-inch forged wheels.
This is a great opportunity for a BMW collector or driving enthusiast looking for a rare, iconic, and increasingly hard-to-find M car.
