South-African brief road test entitled "Tested: 1 M punches above its weight" (Oct 13, 2011):

"VERDICT:
The limited-edition 1M looks ferocious, and it is, but only just a little more so than the series production 135i that’s still available in showrooms for you to buy. Still this car will nestle nicely into BMW’s long history of special M vehicles. A definite future collectable."

Nil novi sub sole, except for the fact that they quote a specific production figure (lower than the the 2700-ish regularly quoted in the past):
"The 1 Series M Coupé is a factory-built hot rod limited to 2452 units worldwide, of which only 71 were allocated to South Africa and all are accounted for already. "
