This is the car I have been waiting for BMW to build since my 1972 2002tii I picked up my car at the BMW Welt on 08/08/2011, redelivered to me at my local dealer 10/10/2011. The 1M is the best overall driving BMW out there IMO. I absolutely love this car!
Good luck with it. I can still remember the day when we were told that BMW NA not be importing the 1 at all. Boy times have changed.
