Video: BMW M1 History


The first creation of BMW’s “M” division was the iconic M1 model which was built in just 451 examples between the years of 1978 and 1981. The first and only mid-engined BMW was developed in association with Lamborghini and designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. The M1 employed a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter straight 6 engine delivering 277 PS and it could reach a top speed of 260 km/h or 162 mph. When it went on sale in Germany in 1978, the M1 cost about 100,000 DM (approx. $45,000). -See the video after the jump
