Worldwide 1M production: 600?

Got a call from my dealership today. They were officially told only 600 1Ms will be made for worldwide distribution. My dealership will get two. I'm number three on the list. They also told me production will not start until ... wait ... September.

They are already on the roads here. A few have been spotted...most likely early press demonstrators.

I'm not sure about the 600 figure. That seems exceptionally low. They made 1400 CSL's which was a limited edition model so it would be twice as rare.

I think I read that the number was something like 2700. Do not remember where. I will look.

BMW was originally going to release the E82 1M Coupe as a limited edition model of approximately 2700 units. Due to positive response, the company lifted the cap and will produce as many E82 1M Coupes as they can until production ends in Spring of 2012
