BMW 1M Review, For Sale, Specs, Models & News in Australia

FROM
$44,770

The BMW 1 Series M Coupé, often referred to simply as the BMW 1M, is a modern classic that left a big mark despite its short lifespan. Launched in 2011, the 1M wasn’t a full-blown M car in traditional terms—it borrowed parts from the E92 M3 and was powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre inline-six rather than a bespoke M engine. But its raw dynamics, compact proportions and manual-only transmission won instant acclaim from driving purists.

Just over 6300 units were built globally, with a limited number making it to Australian shores, adding to its cult status here. With wide-body styling and aggressive M tuning, the 1M offered thrilling performance in a small package, bridging the gap between old-school analog feel and modern turbocharged muscle. It was never badged as a “M1” to avoid confusion with BMW’s 1970s supercar of the same name.

Today, the BMW 1M remains a sought-after collector car and a benchmark for compact performance.

The line-up currently starts at $44,770 for the 1 Series 1M (base) and ranges through to $52,030 for the range-topping 1 Series 1M (base).
