That M1 looks fantastic! It'd be nice if BMW were to take the the body and put some modern innards in it are re-issue the thing.

 To me it still looks like a so-called super car. I wouldn't object if BMW issue a 2012s M1 either, but I don't think the old one looks bad, and with modern mechanicals, electronics and gizmos and whatnot, I'd have no issue with driving it.

Geez guys! So many things; but if you can't see it, just look at a Ferrari 308 right next to a 458 and tell me you would rather have the 308 body on your mechanicals. If so, then you are way retro in your tastes! And in all honesty, if a car were sold only on style the 308 would clobber the M1. Not to say I wouldn't love to have an M1 even with restored original mechanicals, but mainly as a piece of very interesting automotive history.
