Gazza.

Where? Where? Tell me more!!

///M_aniac · Post by **///M_aniac** » Thu 22 Feb, 2007 13:15

Looks in a right state.

Back end has been HORRIFICALLY modified.

What the hell kinda wheels are those too?

Its almost as if owner was ashamed of it, or with its echos of KITT would rather have had a Pontiac Trans AM.

This is at the Indy that I now use......Apparantly the owner died and his widow wanted to sell 'The Damn Thing'.

The Indy didnt know what to offer

so he will restore the car and then sell it. "Parts are a fortune" he informed me

Any thoughts on value????

Gazza · Post by **Gazza** » Thu 22 Feb, 2007 13:17

The car is sporting a bodykit

Gazza.

///M_aniac · Post by **///M_aniac** » Thu 22 Feb, 2007 13:19

Value?? Wow!

Guess at £15k. After a good clean up and removal of body kit, resoration of rear BMW badges etc...

Pristine examples still probably command price tags of circa £25-40k easy

But really don't know. Spokey may have an idea about value.

The Indy has seen one in pristine condition for 350,000 Euro

Easily £70k

Wow!! That's gotta be a museum piece at that cost.

Few on google for sale about £30-40k mark I saw

The biggest problem at the moment is getting new injectors

Gazza.

spokey · Post by **spokey** » Thu 22 Feb, 2007 13:33

The problem with one that is that unloved is that it's going to cost thousands and thousands to commission again. I was looking at an Alpina B9 which was in that sort of state. It would have cost me 3 grand to buy and about 10 grand to get on the road again. I can only imagine that this is going to cost the best part of 20 grand to get back on the road again.

Where is your indy? I haven't remortgaged in a while...

The "M1 Rad"'s are probably the worst design of wheel I have ever seen!

///M_aniac · Post by **///M_aniac** » Thu 22 Feb, 2007 13:40

Some of them are hiddeous.

Titan Silver.

None of those wheels are fitted to this M1

If he's going to restore it, he'd better get it under cover. It's missing a window !!
I'll give him £10000 to store it in my garage or maybe in the lounge or even the bedroom.
I reckon you should find a new Indy if he's servicing BMWs and doesn't know what an M1 is worth.

Gazza · Post by **Gazza** » Thu 22 Feb, 2007 21:04

I think he does know really...............Thing is because it has the bodykit it makes it hard to value against a standard car

Gazza.

smartypants · Post by **smartypants** » Thu 22 Feb, 2007 21:05

What will they be calling the ///M version of the 1 series I wonder?

Gazza · Post by **Gazza** » Thu 22 Feb, 2007 21:11

Oh Yeah..................hadnt thought of that

smartypants · Post by **smartypants** » Thu 22 Feb, 2007 21:14

Probably just the ///M1 - doubt many people who will be buying it, will remember the original

Should be an interesting car! Have you driven the 1? I've driven the 120d, and its a good car... although pretty dull overall.

Gazza · Post by **Gazza** » Thu 22 Feb, 2007 21:18

I had a 120i hire car................very impressed, the reason I bought my first BMW

Straight_Six · Post by **Straight_Six** » Fri 23 Feb, 2007 11:08

i think bmw have been reported as saying that the M version of the 1 series wont be called the M1 as it is the name of the afforementioned classic, instead it will be called the 1 series sport.

Lee

///M_aniac · Post by **///M_aniac** » Fri 23 Feb, 2007 11:14

Sounds really confusing. There already are sports in the 1er range.

Straight_Six · Post by **Straight_Six** » Fri 23 Feb, 2007 11:18

hmm i might be getting confused, is there a 130i? if not then its going to be called the "130i" but i have been assured it will definetly not be the M1.

Lee

///M_aniac · Post by **///M_aniac** » Fri 23 Feb, 2007 11:18

Yes, there already is a 130i.

Can't wait to drive one.

spokey · Post by **spokey** » Fri 23 Feb, 2007 12:04

I'm holding on for the 135i.

Twin turbo.

///M_aniac · Post by **///M_aniac** » Fri 23 Feb, 2007 12:22

Wish they would make a 130d. Would try to get Dad to buy one.

whiteminks · Post by **whiteminks** » Fri 23 Feb, 2007 13:23

Well that is one strange looking car!
Do you have to to be under 4ft tall to drive it?
Check the exhaust..........ooooh I've never seen a square one before

Anyone seriously interested in unusual BMWs should check out this guy. He frequently has a couple of M1, 850s, Z1, etc for sale. Not cheap though.
