Passion for cars runs deep, and undoubtedly, this car will be a topic of conversation for years to come, setting a benchmark that will stand the test of time. It’s crystal clear that this gem is destined to be a future classic. We count ourselves fortunate to have driven and showcased this remarkable 1M on our showroom floor. One of our directors even contemplated purchasing it, until we kindly reminded him of his already impressive collection tucked away in his garages. Such contemplation alone signifies that this is no ordinary set of wheels; it’s a piece of classic automotive art. In fact, when viewed from above, it might just be the next “Botsotso” or “Gusheshe” in the making.
Standing as one of the standout lots in our auction, this BMW 1M holds a unique distinction as one of the 50 cars to grace South African soil. Among the early M cars to embrace turbocharging, the 1M boasts a vigorous 335bhp, effortlessly tamed by the robust 6-speed manual gearbox. The result? A jaw-dropping 0-60 sprint in just 4.8 seconds. If your right foot yearns for the accelerator’s touch, fueled by the thrill of speed and the harmonious hum of the engine, rejoice – you’ve found your match.
This little beast hides a secret weapon: a button that, when pressed, unleashes the full force of its power by deactivating stability and traction control. In an instant, it transforms into a blur – an autoboot of the land, defying all limits. This 1M accelerates with ferocity, and we assure you, finding another specimen like this is an impossible feat. And here’s the pièce de résistance: it boasts a mere 28640km on the odometer, making it practically a brand-new car – an unheard-of rarity. This very LOW mileage car has a full set of books and partial history.
