+1.

The 1M is one of the last raw BMW performance experiences left. The newer ones will of course be faster, but will not give the same sort of driver involvement.

So after you buy it, it's customary to have atleast one forum member enjoy it for a day....ive got this boys, i'll take one for the team:biglol::biglol:

Buy it

I think the price is pretty decent, and the mileage means that the car was actually driven, not just subjected to "weekend abuse". Motorplan does also help of course, and if it's still stock and there are no comments or anything that appears out of place, then I would say go for it! I reckon one day they will be extremely collectable (they were already pushed into that category simply due to the limited production run and what it is)...

What is your definition of abuse?

Buy it. #YOLO

It will be one of the best driving experiences. The car handles like go cart and is just a special vehicle. You wont regret it and you wont lose money on it either. I love driving my 1M. What colour is it?

The type where tyres are undoubtedly killed very quickly and reduced to clouds of smoke... :roflol:

Well, is driven hard all the time, even from cold start, I know it's not always an easy thing to judge or quantify. But the mileage tells me that the car was hopefully driven mostly as a normal and not just for blasts over the weekend or around a track.

No comments on plan? R540k even with 55000km is not bad.

Stock for Stock. 1M

Buy it.
You can sell it in 3 years time for the same money
Just factor in extension of motorplan
