New M1? - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Don't know if this is a repost or not.....

Can anyone tell me what this is?
Is it a concept or a design study......or could it be as my title suggests, an M1?

Obviously a Bangle creation as seen by the "flame surface" treatment.

I think this is more of a design study than anything else. As far as I know, there are no plans to release a M1 type car through 2008.

i think this is a design project done by a student from a car design school.

But a beauty!

Although it's not the twin, The shape and size seem to be a bit like the Gallardo.

It looks quite nice, except the front lights IMO. It certainly is better looking than the 'new m2'

jos,
but they would be aimed at vastly different markets- the "M2" in the other thread is a modified 1 series- I think it will get a modified I6 engine, and I think they are going for E30 M3 driving dynamics. The "M1" here is supposed to be BMWs next "supercar" with a price to match.

What a beautiful looking design. I believe there is a very good chance that BMW will produce a supercar within the next 5 year. After all everyone including MB, Audi and Porsche already have supercars in production

if McLaren can team up with Mercedes-Benz to make a supercar.

why can't Williams make a supercar powered by BMW V10?!

man, that'll be just perfect!
probably the only way to dethrone McLarenF1

nice design ,, it is a supercar

It maybe the chunky styling and the pic maybe deceiving but it looks pretty small to be BMW's next supercar.
