    I worked in 2011 in the plant in Germany which build this car. They planed only about 3000 cars to build, but after everyone gets crazy and the sells get to the roof, they steched the production to 6331 Cars. They couldnt build more, because the tools for the bodyshell were at the end of there life.

    I agree this is probably the greatest BMW ever made, possibly the greatest rwd car ever made. I remember first reading about this from BMW and I remember thinking this is going to be special. The E82 is just the perfect size for that 335 straight six combined with a rwd terrain. Just a perfect combo. Man I want one. Closest I can get to one is the E82 135i M. But those are becoming rare too.

It remains to this day the most fun I have ever had behind the wheel of a car. Looking back, I realize the mistake I made getting into the larger 335i (which was also a great car).

      Hey Blue, the 1M only came 1 way, as a coupe and only 3 colors with only a manual transmission. If it's a regular 1-series you are looking at then to each their own. If you care about handling etc, then the coupe is more rigid, hence better handling. The convertible is more of a fun summer car, at least for me as I live in the north. Your choice.

    since he already reviewed an M2 a few months back it would have been nice to compare/contrast this car with that one, particularly since an M2 starts at around what these 1Ms are worth these days (maybe they mark up the M2 as well, who knows, would have been interesting to find out on doug's channel though). the 1M is a great car, no doubt, but the 1 series chassis is way inferior to the 2 series that the M2 is based on.

    I love my E85 2006 Z4M roadster, Imola Red with Sepang Bronze interior. I wanted my FIRST roadster after I sold my 1972 Datsun 240Z, with a fresh 3.1 stroker I custom built and owned it for 12 years. I love not really getting any attention ( I did a full BRE paint/graphics on the 240Z ) I have been doing Autocrossing in it. Such a fun car, they only built 3000 between 06-08 for the US. In my six month search for a fun/fast roadster and almost giving up and moving on to an American V8 muscle convertible, I came across one for sale here in SW FL. I knew within 1 minute of my test drive that I was going to buy it. Z3M was a strong consideration, but subframe/rod bearing issues made me walk away from getting one. 6 spd manual and naturally aspirated makes it a true drivers car. Top down year round is a plus !

    I see you’re driving this car through Montvale, NJ, my home town! I noticed once you past the Dairy Queen.
