2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe is being touted
It is true, the words “luxurious” and “affordable” may not be paired together very often; some would even argue that these words could create some type of oxymoron scenario when used in the same sentence. However, the 2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe is being touted as both luxurious and yet affordable. Maybe it is best if the price is laid out on the table first so that no one out there gets false hopes that they will be cruising around in a new BMW for what a Kia Spectra costs. The all-new 2012 BMW M Coupe has a price tag of just over $47,000. While it is painfully clear that $47,000 is not chump change, it is important to take a closer look into why the M Coupe can still be considered affordable on some levels.
There is no doubt that a car with a price tag verging on fifty grand is a little steep for many car buyers, however, the price is reasonable when compared to previous BMW coupe models. The M coupe was first debuted in 1988 with a sticker price of a little more than $34,000. By adjusting for cost of living, inflation, and other financial factors, $34,000 in 1988 is roughly equivalent to $63,000 today according to figures compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. So when compared to previous models of the Coupe, the 1 Series M is quite a bit more affordable than ever before.
While affordability may be a relative term that is contingent on individual buyers’ perspective, the luxury portion of the BMW 1 Series M Coupe should not be understated. So just what will $47,000 get buyers in the moderately priced luxury segment? The 1 series M coupe features a 3.0 liter twin turbo inline 6 cylinder engine with a 6 speed manual transmission that can push out 335 horsepower. The Coupe can go 0 to 60 in 4.7 seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph. The M coupe has sporty seats, easy to handle steering wheel, navigation features, a Dynamic Mode that delays electronic interferences, and has beautiful 19 inch rims that really make the car pop.
The quality that BMW is known for is something to carefully consider when shopping for similar vehicles. BMW is well known for great quality and comfort in their automobiles. In addition, BMW has a respectable record for overall crash test ratings, safety features, and fuel efficiency. Overall, the 2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe is affordable when compared to other top luxury brands as well as to previous BMW models and the features show that buyers really get a lot for their money.
