The BMW M1 was a super sports car made by BMW. It had no predecessor, and until now, no successor. It was planned
to built the car at the Lamborghini-factory in Italy, but due to problems the German Baur company was assigned to built it.
The developement of the BMW M1 was inspired by the BMW Turbo (1972).
