hybrid 1043 Report post Posted May 14, 2014 Unless that 1M was extremly tired which is unlikely really then your friend was exaggerating, they seem to sit better on the road the faster you go. My E36 is 19 years old and sits perfect on the road at 200 plus (i mean track) Even my e30 feels rock solid at 220 sustained ...... (on the track ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M5V8 337 Report post Posted May 14, 2014 agreed. I find it hard to believe the 1M would be lauded as a excellent performance package if it was unstable a such relatively low speeds like 150kph. Either someone was exaggerating or the car they were driving had an issue in the wheel / suspension department. It would be all over the internet if there was widespread issues. Not to mention the matching pictures of 1M's up tree's and hanging out of hedges. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheyne 17 Report post Posted May 29, 2014 I parked next to a Black 1M at the Wellington airport this morning, so there is at least one black one in Wellington to go with the orange and white ones here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rarerimresource 6 Report post Posted June 8, 2014 I know of 15 in NZ, breakdown is as follows: White 8 Orange 4 Black 3 Have the VIN's for most of them, but won't be posting those for obvious reasons. I would say there is closer to 20 all up in NZ, the press car (on TM right now), the 14 BMW NZ initially allocated to the dealers was split fairly evenly between the Auckland 2, Coombes, Jeff Grey, and I'd say Cooke got allocated at least 1, seeing as there was one for sale in Queenstown last month. Can't remember the exact split, that memory has been lost to the sands of time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted June 8, 2014 I would say there is closer to 20 all up in NZ, the press car (on TM right now), the 14 BMW NZ initially allocated to the dealers was split fairly evenly between the Auckland 2, Coombes, Jeff Grey, and I'd say Cooke got allocated at least 1, seeing as there was one for sale in Queenstown last month. Can't remember the exact split, that memory has been lost to the sands of time.Keep guessing. As I said before, black was the least common colour and there were a dozen of those.There were two more allocations after that first 14, the last of which sold just a few months ago.
