**New BMW M1 Concept** - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

We sent two journalists at the Villa d'Este Concorso d'Eleganza near Lake Como in Italy, an event sponsored by BMW with a very nice array of classic BMWs: 5 M1s out of the 399 produced and various other models like the original 3.0 CSL. Now, look at what they stumbled upon: the new BMW M1 Concept.

We suspect that the body hides the M5/M6 5L V10 and is BMW's counter-strike to Audi's R8 and Mercedes SLC.

This looks promising, lets hope its true!!

i think the idea for that car is great!

they should just change the name and hire a new design staff...

Something about it doesn't look like an official BMW concept. My guess is it's of a thirdparty.

LaLakers91tc · 04-26-2008, 06:48 PM

that thing is hideous

FirstClass · 04-26-2008, 06:50 PM

Brilliant.

albeik · 04-26-2008, 06:58 PM

Looks good - in a modern/classical way.

takedown8 · 04-26-2008, 07:32 PM

That thing should go back to the 70s where it belongs!

enwhykiid · 04-26-2008, 07:59 PM

i think its a great idea, but i agree that it doesnt look like a bmw. the design is out of date, but i do like it. for a second, i thought it was the new challenger.

Mondolemite · 04-26-2008, 08:47 PM

I think it looks kinda hawt

rocketman · 04-26-2008, 08:51 PM

I think it looks amazing...
Kinda like a mix between european driving classics and american muscle....

I think it would be great competition betwen the merc, audi and all of the new domestic return of the muscle cars.

Great design!!!

ksfrogman · 04-26-2008, 08:53 PM

I like the body lines. Reminds me of Lotus Esprit.

reinaldo335 · 04-26-2008, 09:02 PM

its ridiculous. looks like a fierro with ferrari kit.

ArmyBimmerDude · 04-26-2008, 09:27 PM

Looks like a camaro

Mark · 04-26-2008, 09:36 PM

Its a little bit too much of a throwback IMO, then again the body and rear look very promising

ik999 · 04-26-2008, 09:38 PM

I never liked the M1

Italian German car?

doesn't make sense.

SpecC · 04-26-2008, 09:41 PM

that is straight up awful, but bringing back the M1 would be a good idea imo

BlackJetE90 · 04-26-2008, 10:10 PM

Ugly

Hideous

Stupid

Looks like it was made in the 80's
