About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

The 11th BMW M1 produced and one of the three initial press cars. Restored by marque specialists in Germany in the 2010s. The paint has some fading and light dispersion from imperfections. Plastic surrounds for the door locks are oxidized and the black trim around the rear quarter windows clearly has thick spots. The driver's seat has some wear to the bolsters. Represented as being previously restored, it appears to have been a while ago, however the car has been used, not abused.

Market commentary

The M1 was something of a dead end in that BMW didn't further pursue any mid-engine designs, but it was the first M car and one of the most exciting cars to wear the beachball badge. And, since barely 450 were built, collectors clamor for it. This one sold for an appropriate number relative to its condition.
