A red one driven by news journalists
Some dutch newspaper journalist and car magazines journalists have driven 1///M coupe on the road. All we see are some teaser pics.

I really hope this red one and the blue one from the other thread are the real deal and not just BMW taunting us with actual color choices...
Anyone know when we will actually get to read these preview reviews? |

That protoype looks to have a Nav screen, whereas the one outside the Munich Pizza Hut did not.
The on again off again CF roof is really confusing to me. Wish BMW would clarify that point. Hopefully we'll be able to read a review in the next few days. |

I'm wondering if it is carbon fiber though? I'm partially colorblind, but I believe the roof to be the same, if not similar, in color to the front fendors. I mean unless the front fendors are carbon, or some other composit, I don't know if the 1m will actually get a carbon roof.... I sure hope it does though!!

I think this is the same Sedona Red prototype that has been spotted over and over again for years. There are photos of it going through cold weather testing, photos and videos of it testing on the Nurburgring, etc. The flip-up nav screen is a clue, as is the fact that if you really look at the back fenders, they're not a single piece [the first few set of pics on this car showed black fender bulges riveted on the existing fenders]. The front fenders are also a flat black with that camoflage over them. It was likely one of the original group of Sedona Red 135i's that was used for its introduction in Gotland in late 2007. And no, it's not a carbon fiber roof - it's just covering over the hole where they took the sunroof out.

Here's an earlier pic of the car with links to even earlier pics.

Maybe it's OK if it's "twitter style"?
Would you mind translating this? Best regards, south
