Description
When BMW Motorsport GmbH developed the BMW M1 and this mid-engined coupé, with its aggressive design, celebrated its world debut at the Paris Motor Show in October 1978, you could already sense that the boys from Munich had managed to create a legend.
Illustrated with numerous, rarely seen photos from the BMW Group archives, the genesis of the M1 - street version as well as racing version - is described.
Additional articles talk about the M1es racing history and portray the only racing car to be designed by Andy Warhol and which ranked sixth in the overall placings of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Finally, a preview of the BMW M1 Homage Car study, which celebrated its debut at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in April 2008, is given.
