We spotted this sweet BMW M1 race car for sale today. The 460bhp monster comes with a hefty price tag of €379,000 (over $507,000.)
The M1 coupe was hand-built between 1978 and 1981 under the Motorsport division of BMW as a homologation special for sports car racing. The body was designed by Giugiaro, taking inspiration from the 1972 BMW Turbo show car. Only 456 production M1s were built, making it one of BMW’s rarest models.
