I just spotted a BMW 1M Coupé (E82) on Mobile.de listed for just over €50,000. For me, that’s a serious opportunity — the car is in top condition, so it’s ready to enjoy right away.
The mileage is relatively low, and considering that this car should be worth around €80,000 in two years, it’s definitely worth a closer look. The only modification is an AC Schnitzer exhaust, which doesn’t ruin the design — it actually enhances the experience.
In my opinion, this is a car worth investing in: either hold onto it or try selling it to a wider audience in the near future.
Here’s a bit more about the car:
The BMW 1M Coupé (E82) is a cult compact sports car from 2011-2012. Based on the 1 Series, it was heavily upgraded and tuned by BMW M GmbH, delivering 340 HP from a 3.0L turbocharged inline-six engine (N54) and famous for its exceptional agility. It perfectly combines track-level performance with everyday usability and a unique, widened stance.
Key features:
-
Engine: 3.0L, inline-six (N54) with M TwinPower Turbo, 340 HP.
-
Performance: 0-100 km/h in under 5 seconds thanks to power and low weight.
-
Chassis: Components from BMW M3 E92 (rear axle, suspension, brakes), widened wheel arches, adaptive M differential.
-
Design: Aggressive bumpers, quad exhaust tips, signature 19-inch wheels, unique colors like Valencia Orange.
-
Interior: Sport seats, Alcantara leather, M steering wheel.
-
Positioning: Considered the precursor to the BMW M2, offering pure “M” driving experience in a smaller package.
Production:
Launched in 2011, originally planned for 2,700 units, but eventually over 6,300 were built, making it rare but still accessible.
All in all, if you find one in good condition like this, it’s worth putting money into it and holding on — or taking a shot at selling it to a wider audience. Either way, the BMW 1M Coupé is a compact classic that delivers real M-car thrills.
