FROMGREATGERMAN MODELMAKER MINICHAMPS / PAUL MODEL ART

The M1 was the first major project for BMW\'s Motorsports division, hence the name \"M1\". Giorgio Giugiaro of Ital design finalised the styling of the car while much of the engineering work was carried out by Lamborghini. Lamborghini were also due to manufacture the car on the behalf of BMW, but the troubled Italian car maker went broke in the late 1970s and consequently the car was built by German coachbuilder Baur for BMW.

In total, 457 road and race M1s were made between 1978 and 1980, and all were left hand drive. The engine was a 3.5 litre straight six producing 277bhp in roadgoing tune (considerably more in race versions), mounted in a mid engined configuration driving the rear wheels. Top speed was 162mph and 0-60mph took 5.4 seconds.

The M1 had a great driving position and was considered a lovely car to drive. The interior was plain but well made, and unlike many of it\'s Italian contemporary rivals, the heating and ventilation worked well. Today it remains one of the most desirable BMWs ever made and commands high prices on the classic car market.
