So what's under the veil?

The one and only 1979 BMW M1 LeMans race car hand painted by Andy Warhol. Appraised at a cool 4 million dollars.

[word sux]

that m1 is tits



the rest meh..


those "m" suv's represent everything that the m division should not be.

[EjMalernee]

Damn you fancy.

[BustedS13]

the m1 is awesome
the rest i see on the street every day, who gives a shit
p.s. those 6 series coupes are sex machines

[idahotuner]

yeah the BMW suvs area joke, my budies izuzu rodeo could go more places

[Farzam]

I like the idea behind it, but unless this is only part of the showroom or it isn't finished being set up, it sucks. I see virtually all of those vehicles and plenty more on a daily basis at my friends BMW shop. And imo BMW is losing their touch in styling...new 6 series suck, not sure how i feel about the f-chassis.

[logik23]

It was the grand opening so it wasn't full of cars, but what do you want to see? It's a car dealership, not a museum lol

The only good-looking BMW there is the one made over 30 years ago.

[ronmcdon]

the M1 is cool, love the paint.
I'm a bit a let down by the fact that there aren't more older M cars.
I'm lead to think this was more of a dealer effort, rather than something done by bmw.

not feeling the 6 either & frankly never have.
wonder how well that 1M (NOT M1) is selling?

[h2v7]

i loooooooooove m's

that andy wharhol car is tits

[logik23]

Again, it's a showroom, not a museum. It was funded and planned exclusively by the dealer. It's not a display for classics, it's a showroom built to sell new cars.

In Canada, the 1M is sold out. They had something like 250 units and last week, the last one in Canada was sold and delivered. The orange one in the pictures belongs to the dealer's owner.

[blueshark123]

I saw a white 1m on the road the other day it looked stupid honestly it reminded me of a pig because the car was like a box with the widebody

[EazyS13]

ahhhh what i would give to go see that.....

[VNG704]

Didn't see an e30 m or ltw e36 m, me no care

[adrians_s13]

cool pics thanks for sharing

and again we don't care



bmw told all their hardcore enthusiasts to go eat a dick and I really hope it comes back to bite them in the ass.



btw new m5 WILL NOT be sold with a stick shift


fuck bmw

[!Zar!]

My friend has a couple M1's. So to see the Le Mans one is pretty awesome.

Bmw needs ///M cars to go against the AMG models mercedes is releases across it's various platforms.

[wangan_cruiser]

fuck bmw's lol after 70k miles they are garbage. haha


i like the m1 though

[xMOTIONLESSx]

I like the 1M :drool:

[brewster240]

...new 6 series suck, not sure how i feel about the f-chassis.


f series? all the cars are f- now, they ran out of e-.

fuck bmw

The F10 M5 will have a choice of 6 speed manual and 7 speed DCT.

And the 1M is amazingly good and is probably the rawest car on sale today that's under 100k, no one's eating dicks.

[EazyS13]

fuck bmw's lol after 70k miles they are garbage. haha


i like the m1 though

i had 140k on mine and it ran like new, sad thing is im a bmw guy but with the new designer they have i dont really like any of the new cars. my love for them stopped after the E46 M3, the 1 series are pretty sweet to tho

[silviaguy240]

fuck bmw's lol after 70k miles they are garbage. haha


i like the m1 though

i got 146,000 on my 01 7 series, and i have no worries other than the trans but thats a problem with all of them.

[!Zar!]

I have 140k on my e46, and it is still showing me love.

My e28 has 170k, and it is still chugs like a tank; sucks the starter is so hard to get to.

[Farzam]

f series? all the cars are f- now, they ran out of e-.


and i don't know how i feel about any/all the new cars


fuck bmw's lol after 70k miles they are garbage. haha


i like the m1 though

My friend owns a bmw tuner shop and I borrowed an e46 325i I believe, 204k...drove like it probably did off the showroom floor. My other friend has an e36 m3 with 245k and counting. I guess it depends on which one you get, and who owned it before you. I do agree, it costs way too much to maintain certain models consider how much dumb electrical crap breaks on those cars

[ronmcdon]

The 1M design is controversial utimately & not for everyone.
I like it a lot.
When I went car shopping the past few months it was prob second on my list, after the boss.
Having a bit of buyer's remorse right now.

here's a fun review & comparo( that TT is badass btw, performance wise it kills the m3, c63, caddy cts-v, & price is comparable )
