The original car had two roundels in the back, it makes perfect sense that the homage does as well.

The rims are a throwback to the original as well, again, it makes sense.

Villa Antica (part of Villa Erba complex), Cernobbio, Lago di Como (Lake Como), Lombardy, Italy.

The other set of pics (not posted here though) was taken infront of BMW HQ in Munich, Germany, and the nearby BMW Welt complex.

Where do I send my Deposit. But I need rim options please. LOL

IceCold1906 · 04-27-2008, 04:59 PM

Man I love the modern/throwback design. Very true to the original M1 look.

EuroTrip · 04-27-2008, 05:28 PM

That is so sick. I wish it was white.

yungmsix · 04-27-2008, 06:04 PM

im sure when this releases it will be close to 130K

MalibuBimmer · 04-27-2008, 06:26 PM

Does "Lamborghini" ring a bell? Retro-derivative.

monsta · 04-27-2008, 07:07 PM

sexy!!!

shift330 · 04-27-2008, 07:33 PM

I like it but wouldn't buy one if it were a production car. It kind of reminds me of a car in GTA or NFS.

BMW //MPOWER · 04-27-2008, 07:35 PM

That's right, the M1 is coming back!

Lake Como is AMAZING. I wrecked an Alfa Romeo rental in the winding roads above the lake last fall. A bit of mountain stuck out more then I thought and oppps.....Man alive, an M3 (maybe a couple m3's cuz yah never know what’s around the corner) around Lake Como...and life would be complete (or over, it all depends).

montreal red · 04-27-2008, 08:30 PM

hahah wow... maybe bmw wants an R8 competitor...

jeanchristophele · 04-27-2008, 08:33 PM

ummmm.... NO

Shade · 04-27-2008, 08:38 PM

I am not feeling the look tbh !

JEllis · 04-27-2008, 09:14 PM

I think its more of an artistic statement and a homage to the M1 than it is a serious concept

I suspect it's both. As there has long been talk about BMW building an 8series to rival the Audi R8 and so on, which is a slot i think the M1 could fill rather nicely. I guess only time will tell..

lux.sh · 04-27-2008, 10:03 PM

that is disgusting.

drkeng · 04-27-2008, 10:54 PM

gorgeous.....maybe needs different rims

Design1314 · 04-27-2008, 11:04 PM

this thing is so ugly...

sayemthree · 04-27-2008, 11:56 PM

NICE!!!! I like it.

but oh, no - I can feel the flames now: M1 vs. R8 vs Lexus F.
