Starting Monday, BMW of North America kicks off a full week of 1 Series M Coupe test drives at the Monticello race track in New York. We recently learned that BMW will bring all the three colors to the press drive, so for the first time, we will have the opportunity to compare the 1Ms one next to each other.
Our friend Palbay, the South Carolina spy photographer, managed to snap a few shots of an open truck transporting several 1M vehicles with NJ license plates. Most likely these are manufacturer cars on their way to either Monticello or the headquarters in Woodcliff Lake, NJ.
As an interesting tibit, a BMW official told BMWBLOG that for the 1 week of test drives, an additional 40 sets of tires have been ordered.
Stay tuned early next week as our own Hugo Becker takes the reins of an 1M and will relate to us if this is the “pure M” we have been all waiting for.
