This M1 model was the first of the famous M line by the premium German
\nautomaker, the first is certainly a memorable piece and will remain as a
\n part of automobile history. It did have quite a complicated birth, it
\nwas initially designed by Giugiaro and commissioned by Lamborghini to
\nassemble and build it, but financial issues of the Italian supercar
\nbrand made it impossible and BMW had to find an alternate solution, so
\nthey used Transformazione Italiana Resina to make the fibreglass
\nbodywork which was later assembled and bonded at Marchesi, also
\nresponsible for all the rest of the bodywork, dashboard, seats and
\nelectrical wiring. The car was then shipped to Germany to get the 3.5l
\nmid-engine along with the 5 speed ZF transmission and the fine tuning
\nand road testing necessary before the actual sale. This model was
\ntotally refurbished with a full engine restoration, all the work done is
\n registered and available for buyers to confirm. If you?re into this
\nprototype with an unforgettable look as well as true German premium
\nperformance be sure to check out this one out, it is number 265 of a
\ntotal of only 399 cars.<\/p>\n
