BMW 1 Series M Coupé limited to just 2,700 units and three colors

Autoblog.com tells us..."David Aviles, who works at Northwest BMW in Maryland, won a sales competition and so was invited to a European BMW event called The Power of M. While there, he apparently gleaned some info on the 1 Series M Coupé that, if true, is not going to make very many people happy. According to Aviles, there will be just 2,700 examples sold in either Alpine White, Jet Black or Valencia Orange Metallic, and every single one will come with a manual transmission.

BMW's been on a bit of a roll lately with special and limited edition M cars, but if Aviles' news is accurate, we didn't expect the production on this one to be choked off at such a low number. Aviles goes on to say that the U.S. will get the largest allocation, but numbers weren't disclosed."

Good info! I bet this car will be a stunner.

I don' t know what he means about bmw being on a role with their limited edition M cars?? All the M editions have done is added full lux package/nav. To me that is the opposite of what M should be doing. The Gts isn't even what is should be for the $. what an idiot.

So its regular price + dealer mark up = might as well save up for an M3? I don't see this limited production car going for much less...

M3 Please. BMW over prices everything, I am a little interested in how high this thing will be priced.

Dealer markup might kill the hype.

NOOOOO. I actually thought there would be a good chance of picking up a used one at a decent price. Why the limited run? This is the car that will turn the ///M division around.
