How many BMW 1M Coupes are left in New Zealand?
Rare 1 in 97,393 on the road Built 2011-2014 Sold new in New Zealand
Updated from the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register, counted as at 31 August 2026. Recounted every month.
Short, wide-arched and manual only, the 1 Series M Coupe of 2011 packed a twin-turbo straight six and suspension borrowed from the M3. BMW could not call it M1, because that name belongs to its 1978 supercar. It was built for little more than a year and has been sought after ever since.
