Apr30	BMW M1 Homage Video Alex Ion April 30, 2008 Know More: BMW Who didn't love the BMW M1 when it was first announced? I don't think we can get that many among us and I'm almost sure this is why BMW decided to come up with a Homage to the legendary M1 supercar to mark the 30th anniversary of the BMW M1. It's a video taken at the 2008 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este and gives a very detailed view of what could be the new BMW M1 but there aren't even rumors that this beauty will be produced. It would be a great response to Audi's R8, don't you think? via WCF Posted at 5:39 PM \| Permalink \| Comments
