The M1 can be described as a German car that contains a lot of Italian technical components and Italian personality.
It was presented to the public as a blend of Italian design, one part of Italian technical components, one part of German bodywork, one part of German technical components, one part of complete car production in Italy, and one part of complete car production and inspection at BMW in Munich.
453 produced copies make this German beauty extremely rare in today's world market of classic cars.
The whole story begins in the late 1970s when BMW’s motorsport division wanted to produce a car with which BMW could compete in Group 5 along with German rival Porsche.
The car had to have a centrally placed engine.
As BMW could not produce 400 copies of this road car, they decided to partner with the Italian manufacturer Lamborghini.
A very capable Lamborghini engineer, Gianpaolo Dallara, designed the chassis of a spatial frame made of steel tubes.
Unfortunately, in those years, the manufacturer Lamborghini fell into financial difficulties, and the project could not continue with BMW.
BMW then decided to take complete control of the project, and the car was introduced to the public in 1978
The miniature of the M1 car, regardless of the fact that nothing opens, was made very correctly with attention to detail.
If you give a product like this to your boss or co-worker, it will stand out much more as an original business gift.
