LOL

I dont IF BMW wanted to re-produce this thing you think they’d stick with the ancient 270hp M88?

It would only make sense, considering BMW’s shifting towards forced induction, to stick a powerplant with a snail or two in it.

And the original M1 was a masterpiece, and though it wasn’t competition for the other italian supercars of it’s time, was a milestone for BMW.

I won’t even bother with Cossey’s post :idiots :rofl

i enjoyed checking out the original m1 at the ///m booth at vintage fest in LRP. very sweet car. i think this concept is pretty wild too. i highly doubt it will be produced, but still the orig. was a legend back in the days.
