The legendary BMW M1 might have only been around for a few short years, but its impact has been massive. It has been nearly half a century since the wedge-shaped, mid-engined supercar entered production, but it is one model that even today’s BMW executives can’t stop thinking about.
“I’m in love with the original M1, but I would love to do a new one," said Frank van Meel, BMW M’s boss, in an interview with BMWBlog. Oliver Heilmer, the head of M Design, echoed similar sentiments to the publication.
