Do want.

Beautiful. When BMWS were still BMWs!

Marcoose · 11-17-2022, 10:43 AM

But does it burble on downshifts? Lol

This one is going to set someone back,...or forward a 'pretty penny'! Good luck to the Seller,...and real good luck to the Buyer!

Much better way to drop half a mill+ compared to the new 3.0 CSL

Thanks for the pics!

The M1 has aged well. Still looks great.

nightwolf · 11-17-2022, 04:05 PM

and people still complain about the "new" hideous front grilles?

///3dkn · 11-17-2022, 05:53 PM

I saw an M1 in a museum once

I'm in, but we gotta keep it at my house.

Teutonic · 11-19-2022, 08:48 PM

I don’twant to suggest anything but the steering wheel and the seats do not look like 6000 km.
One of my cars has a little over 100,000 km and looks way better than this one, almost like new.
And this one is a classic.
I am just not buying the milleage…

Only if bmw could just make a modern day m1. We would all have the car of our dreams at last. We don't ask for much 😂😂😂.

NickyC · 11-24-2022, 10:07 PM

What makes this car even more amazing is that it was born in 1980 in the midst of almost universal automotive trash design.

LOL! Great plan. This way I don’t have to explain why I need more garage space... Now I just need to complete the wire transfer to my new friend in Nigeria and send him my account details... I mean what could go wrong by sending him $25k so he sends me back $500k??

DB_Cooper · 11-29-2022, 05:15 PM

This is gorgeous but obv too stressful to realistically own.

Indeed. That’s what made this one and the other Italian machines sooo amazing to dream about. Then you’d wake up and get a ride to school in a squared off Buick/Pontiac/Oldsmobile/Chevy POS. Even the Merc 300s weren’t all that inspiring from a design standpoint. And then there were the god awful browns on every car....
