What colour 1M have you ORDERED?

as7920 · 04-30-2011, 07:07 PM

As it was mentioned in the original official colour poll thread, I have decided to create a new poll to discover the colour ordered most by customers rather than colour preference.

I have also added regional options, to a small degree admittedly, to reduce the number of selections.

I for one originally went for White, ordered Black and have now changed my order to Orange. All three colours at some point.

Good idea but have you voted yourself already? Maybe a new change

PS: I think that deep deep down you're still

with BSM

Actually, if anything, i would now go AW if not VO. BSM as good as it is, would be the last on my list now. Maybe because thats the only one i haven't seen IRL.

Interesting how in Europe, VO and BSM are neck and neck whereas the Americas and RoW put BSM last.

My order is for AW. To me the 1M looks just right in AW.
My wife drives a BSM 335d and it is pain to keep clean and swirl free.
But when clean a BSM BMW looks pretty nice.

A BSM coloured BMW should always be clean. So should every BMW be btw

Anyways it's nice to be confirmed by a PRO

You're right, here in Italy people really like BSM, in US they prefer AW.
But my order (week 21) is VO

elitt13 · 05-01-2011, 03:34 PM

BSM in france yeah!!!

Joer · 05-02-2011, 05:06 PM

Great poll Mark!

sq86 · 05-02-2011, 11:28 PM

I went from VO to BSM. I just saw VO at NYC auto show and can safely say that I made the right decision.

"I went from VO to BSM. I just saw VO at NYC auto show and can safely say that I made the right decision."

What was it about the VO that you didn't care for? Most of the people who have seen the VO 1M at the Auto Shows seem to think it's pretty stunning in person and that photos don't do it justice.

carchrism5 · 05-03-2011, 05:56 AM

If everyone in this poll has actually ordered the car with a signed contract rather than just a deposit I find the results pretty interesting. In the last day or so AW took over for the Americas. Great poll.

Sorry about the formatting but hopefully you get the picture:

I had to decide before I even saw the VO which played a huge factor in it for me. I knew what BSM looked, like unlike the VO. When I saw it though it was stunning. I just didn't care for it though. I mean I think it would be beautiful at night but its just too flashy for me. I think the car already stands out enough and although it is a very nice color its still orange. I don't want to drive an orange car everyday of the week especially during the day. Just not my style...

In your boat, after seeing the VO in person I changed my order to AW. While I still have another couple of weeks to decide if I want to switch back, the more I think about it, the less I am likely to go back to the VO camp. And I was a huuuuuge VO fan prior to seeing it live!

evolution80 · 05-23-2011, 01:58 PM

anyone recently ordered and did not vote yet?

also interesting how people in the US still like white

rogbmw · 05-23-2011, 02:52 PM

AW ordered - due in the end of the month. Its on the boat and on the way.

TunedM2C · 05-23-2011, 03:02 PM
