It's also not about outrun(remember the arcade game?) it's about fun. Prices overhere(NL) are steady as well. Just buy a 1M and when a M2 comes(1, 1.5 years) maybe go for that one. TT-RS ha. No comment. At. All. Edit, 1M overhere is nothing special, (only 40 in the Netherlands) LOL Cheers Robin |

Are you a collector? Why would you spend more money on a 3 year old car with miles on it, which you have no cue if it was abused? It was reported recently that the 1M now costs more now than when it was new.
The choice is rather simple. Get yourself an M2

I would wait on the M2 - the 1M is a cult classic, and due to limited numbers, will be a very rare car to have...with that being said, I would want the newest and baddest thing out there - so I would wait and get the M2.
Not sure if I agree that prices for the 1M will drop that much - there aren't really many around for sale, so people don't have to sell if no one meets their respective price. My guess is that the M2 will be different enough than the 1M that it won't be a "one or the other" situation...but we will see. I don't think you can go wrong either way to be honest...

The 1M would be good to have for its rarity alone. Find one in good shape, treat it well, and years from now you could send it up on the block at a Barrett-Jackson auction.
I agree with dmboone25 that I don't think you would go wrong either way. |

I am a huge 1M fan....but I can't see too many people spending $55k to buy a 1M when the M2 promises to be a significantly capable performer. Same for the new F80 M3 and M4.....of which a base version (already well equipped) lists in the low 60s.
As much as I love the 1M.....I think it's days of premium pricing are coming to a close. Many 1Ms have been sitting around used car lots for a loooong time mainly because dealers are asking premium prices, but not necessarily getting them.....prices will be higher later on in 10-15 years but that's too far away for me to consider. Life is too short to plan that far ahead! |

I was talking to the local dealer in Chicago that sold a 1M that had spent 2 months on a frame rack for $15K more than original MSRP. In general used cars scare me, specifically used cars that are tailor made to be driven HARD. If you could get your hands on a new 1M back then and drive it for free before selling on to someone else you got one of the best cars and the greatest deals in the last 25 years at least. That said when shit goes wrong and you are out of warranty we aren't talking about cheap fixes.

OP just drive the 1M for yourself and compare it! There are many options for the money but short of the M2, the 1M is exciting unlike the 235, Cayman and CLA. Even the M2 will come with fake sound and bloated with stuff you might not want so you have enough info. Go and drive it that is the only thing that matters. Good luck.

Patrick. They fully disclosed that the car had been hit. Didn't intend to make the dealer sound shady, just pointing out an example of the ridiculous values these cars still command. The only other thing I can think of that's so crazy is the current prices of Defender 90s.

i also inquired about that 1M several months ago and they gave me a hilariously low trade-in value....i told them that nobody else has ever given me such a ridiculous number as they had. They have also raised and lowered the price of that car several times since they've had....they're just playing games. I hope it never sells! lol |

If you're looking for a car to keep for years to come 1M. If you are gonna lease and get something else in a few years M2. I personally will not be giving up my 1M no matter what the performance figures etc are on the M2, but I also have several cars am sort of starting my "collection" if you will. But if I wasn't trying to keep the car and always wanted the next best thing I'd get the M2. I also have an e92 M3 and am considering trading it in next year for the f80 or f82 m3/m4. But their are thousands of e92's out there if I ever wanted one again.

The fact is the 1M might drop a bit but eventually will go back up. Not sure how some can't see that. If you keep this car for 15+ years in good shape it's gonna be worth something. Period.

Prices have fallen a bit over the past 6 months but are still well above what was expected originally. My feeling is that the demand is still there so the prices are maintaining a certain level pretty consistently. i think the 1M is being seen as one of the 'last organic BMW M cars' and that image is translating into big preservation of the values, unfortunately! I also think there are plenty of people just waiting for prices to dip so they can grab one...like me! Last edited by IEDEI; 06-11-2014 at 09:17 PM.. |
