Originally designed for competition, only 453 were produced for the road, making it an extremely rare and sought-after car. Its design, by Giorgetto Giugiaro, is a true work of art, with its angular lines and aggressive stance. It was powered by a 277bhp 3. 5-litre in-line six-cylinder engine, and its mid-rear engine alone was special in that it was unique in the entire BMW range: only the M1 had this mid-rear in-line six-cylinder engine. In 1979, BMW launched a championship dedicated solely to the M1, which was run between 1979 and 1980 just before the F1 GPs. M1s were driven in this championship by some of the biggest names in motor sport at the time: Hunt, Lauda, Laffite, Andretti, etc. In 1983, the M1 was homologated in Group B (rally) and appeared as a rally car in international competitions.
