Exclusive: First BMW 1M spotted on US roads – Valencia Orange paint

what color was the car you were driving? the 1M's color in last pic looks kind of golden as if reflecting your car.

Looking at the shadows on the ground and the fact the 1M driver has the visor up to block the sun, the light is obviously coming from BEHIND the picture taker and therefore the car the picture is being taken from is NOT reflecting in the 1M. It's clear the sun is very low and shining directly onto the 1M.

It does have the necessary presence! cool

Cruel twist, hidden irony or just coincidence? Color on M1 heritage did the same thing when it reflected light at certain angles.

I thought pearlescent paintjobs where meant to do that?

That has to be the most beautiful colour I have ever seen on a car, the way the colour just pops in the sun is amazing. Can this colour be got on any BMW at extra cost? Please say it can.

The "chase car" was somewhat of a brownish color.

The Orange looks different under certain light...car wasn't also newly cleaned. It's one of those colors that can look great at times and annoying at others.

I'm still on the fence between Orange and white. Not sure which one to pick.

The car looks great in motion.

Thanks for the photos bmwblog! Very much appreciated.

We finally get to see this car on the road in average photos. It sure does have killer road-presence!

After seeing these photos, I think I'd opt for Alpine White... I can see that Valencia Orange loosing its novelty rather quick.

Also, how on earth is it even possible to spec this car without the xenons lights and LED corona/angel rings ? That shouldn't even be an option for an M-car.

"This particular 1M coupe is the one spotted earlier today, heading from New Jersey to Daytona, Florida to serve as the pace car for the 24 Hours of Daytona race this weekend."

Could this be the reason and its just a pre-production car
